UMPIRING:

Umpire own game (i.e. each team is required to supply a competent umpire).

UNIFORM:

Uniform requirements are flexible. You can wear netball dresses, leggings + shirts, bike shorts + tops, skirts + tops, even team onesies if you really want! The main aim is to look like a team and be identifiable as a team. (Note - this is not a rep carnival, and teams do not have to be club teams. )

However, no offensive slogans on clothing. And please keep bottoms covered! 

It is preferred that teams bring their own set of bibs.

WET WEATHER NOTIFICATION

Winners and runners up of each division will receive medals, so if your team is in contention for a medal, please stay after the round to hear the announcement for your division.

Cars will not be permitted to park on the grass areas adjacent to courts A & B. There will also be restricted car parking adjacent to the club house at the southern end due to the coffee van, disability access, sponsor tents, etc.

Parking in the cemetery is strictly prohibited. 

As there will be home games happening at the nearby football fields, please do not use the football car park.

Charlestown teams will be rostered on to cover canteen. with each rostered team required to send two (2) volunteers for their allocated time slot. This will ensure 4 volunteers are in the canteen at all times. (Note: All workers in the canteen, including volunteers, are required to be aged 15 or older. )
