Saturday Netball
Divisions 1 and 2 put on a great show last Saturday using all the skills they have learnt over the season to deliver some great scoring games. The final general round will be played this weekend, while the NET girls will have their final session and presentation this week. They had an absolute blast learning new skills, having fun and meeting new friends. Thank you to Natasha Barber for her time every week show these girls how fun netball can be. This competition would not be possible without parent helpers. It is great to see the amount of volunteers who help with coaching/managing, canteen duties, set up and pack up.
Vote For Parkes Hockey
Parkes Hockey is looking for community votes as one of 41 projects in the Orange electorate competing for My Community Projects funds.
My Community Project funds projects in each NSW electorate to help improve the wellbeing of people and communities. Successful projects will be determined through a public vote and the projects that receive the most support will receive funding.
Currently, Parkes Hockey Inc has no storage facility to accommodate carnival equipment including tents, feather flags, tables, chairs, goalie gear, age group uniforms and rep shirts, as well as maintenance and bbq equipment.
Storage will not only protect and accommodate more equipment to be stored on site, but also provide ample seating and shelter for supporters and families at the precinct.
Why vote for this project?
• Enable Parkes to bid and host state carnivals, and hopefully one day a national qualifier for Hockey Australia.
• Make Parkes a sporting ‘hot spot’ advertising the region.
• Offering active choices for community members from children to older members.
Get behind Parkes Hockey and go to this website to cast your vote: https://mycommunityproject.service.nsw.gov.au/
