Ladies and Gentlemen,

It appears that our wonderful weather system down here is going to be letting us have some rain over the weekend.

Showers and light wind over Friday, Saturday and Sunday is the summary, according to ABC news weather.

Please bring a rain coat and umbrella, because we’re playing on at Flagstaff! We are fairly confident that the rain will be patchy and should not interrupt the majority of gameplay.

We have contingency plans to relocate to a covered court if the rain is too severe, however the court is only large enough to support 1 game at a time.

Apologies to all our interstate visitors for our famously imperfect weather system, consider it a part of your holiday to Melbourne.

Friday

Please Bring: Power Drills, Extension Leads, Screwdriver bits for your drill, power boards, side cutters, car with trailer, car without trailer, drop sheets (for spraying/painting logos on boards)
We’ll meet at flagstaff, get organised, send a group down to fishmarket to get the boards, build them up
