As club captain I would like to thank the many club members who help make this a memorable day - to those who brought all the wonderful food and prizes for the raffles, members who turned up on Friday to set up the venue, members who worked in the kitchen or on the playing floor and members who cleaned up at the conclusion of the event.
 

Due to the generous donations of products from members we made a record profit of $1546 from this initiative. Thanks also to our sponsors AFT Pharmaceuticals. 
 

Finally to the Coordinator of the 2024 Sixes Allison Vince and her many helpers- a big thank you.
