SYDNEY PACIFIC’S ‘BIG DAY OUT’

Saturday 19 December 2015

of the Club and to raise funds for the Club.

We invite ALL members to join us for some part of the day to help run the BBQ and the till.

So we’d love to hear what time would suit you. For those competing at Treloar Shield that afternoon, there’s plenty of opportunity to help in the morning. If not competing, we’d love your help in the afternoon.

Please CLICK HERE to sign on for any one hour slot commencing at 8:00am and finishing at 4:00pm.

For all enquiries about the day please contact Melinda Millican at [email protected]. The Club Committee hopes that all members can support this venture.

 Round 8 of the 2015 Treloar Shield at ES Marks from 1:00pm.

 Christmas Drinks from 7:30pm at the Terrey Hills Tavern, Mona Vale Road, Terrey Hills. Casual, relaxing.

Fancy yourself a MasterChef? Are you handy with BBQ tongs? Do you have a special knack for selling drinks? Sydney Pacific would love our members’ help on 19 December when we’ll be teaming up with Bunnings Belrose to raise the profile
