Papanui Club Raffles - Can you spare 3 hours for your club?
We have been very fortunate this year and have been given 5 weeks to run raffles through the year at The Papanui Club.
We need parents and players over 18 years of age to help with these. We hold raffles Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of the weeks that we are allocated. We get to keep all profit from these raffles. It is not hard at all, we sit behind a counter in the bar area and patrons line up to purchase the tickets at $2.00 per ticket.
Tickets sell fast. Its very easy and a lot of fun, excellent way to meet other club members.

We use these funds to :
  • purchase new uniforms and equipment each year
  • run the club
  • send our coaches and umpires to training courses
  • pay for lighting at the school and hiring the YMCA for senior training.
There will be a sign up table at the Uniform night so if you think you could spare us some time please add your name and contact details.



We have limited vacancies for players in these teams
 
2A -This team is competitive but due to work commitments
do not train together. Players wanting to train are able to
join training sessions with our other 2A teams
at the Bishopdale YMCA on Thursdays.
 
Social - A competitive social team
 
Under 17
If you are interested contact Deraulle at 3522400


Can you assist with these?
Do you have any of these lying unused
around the house that you could donate
to the club for training purposes?
We would gratefully accept any donations for the club.
We intend putting together training boxes
for teams to use at the YMCA and the school
and the more we have the better!
Please email Deraulle at
MICHAELHOPE@xtra.co.nz if you can assist.
