WOMEN’S MASTERS NEWSLETTER JUNE 2015
We hope everyone is enjoying the winter as we move rapidly towards the first of our Women’s Masters events.
We recognise that there may still be some confusion because the selection trials are before our State
Championships rather than after, so in consideration of those who were unaware of this, the closing date for
nomination to stand for selection has been extended until mid next week. SO IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
Click here to access all the paperwork necessary for nominating.
