Welcome to Mid Canterbury Netball's first newsletter of 2021! It's absolutely awesome to see netball back on the court in 2021 and we all have our fingers and toes crossed for a Covid-free season. A massive thank you to all our our sponsors - our premier sponsors ACL, our social sponsors Neumanns Tyres, Jennian and Sidekick, our new Saturday senior sponsors KFC and Bellissimo, our Saturday morning junior sponsors Ashburton New World, and our Year 3-4 Future Ferns sponsors Midlands. The support we receive from these businesses is awesome, and helps to keep the cost of our subs down each year, so thank you to each of these businesses. A reminder that due the Tupuranga U16 Championship being held at the EA Networks Centre at Queen's Birthday Weekend, there is no play that Saturday, June 5. There is also no play the middle weekend of the July holidays - Saturday 17 July. Premier and social will play the first week of the holidays, but not the second.  |
