The WAFA tournaments have commenced. Next weekend is the Junior Comp with a Change of Venue for the Saturday events. Don't forget that all entries for Competition are required by 10pm on the Wednesday prior to the competition.

Tournament Calendars in hard copy are available for Cavs Members now.

All March fees are due now. Please get them in as soon as possible.

All members must fill in an Affiliation Form now, whether your fees are due or not.

A BBQ will be held this coming Saturday 23rd February 6pm onwards at Sarah MacFarlane's home in Bedford.

This will be our usual get-together to start off the year. The club will supply sausages, bread rolls and soft drink. Very casual. Families and friends invited.

BYO other drinks.
We would love to have offers of salads or sweets to share.

Sarah is at 165 Roseberry Street, corner of Craven Street, Bedford.

There is also a list at the club for RSVP's and food offers.

See you there!

Cavs was excited to receive its first delivery of nudie Juice today.

The free supply of cold fresh fruit drinks created a great deal of interest from the members, many of whom had not tasted it before.

The general response was very positive, and it looks like nudie sales are about to take a sharp upward leap if our club has anything to do with it.

"How could something so healthy, taste so good?" (enthusiastic club member, Jerry Peng)

This is the first of several monthly deliveries which will take place until the end of the season.
