Eden Roskill Softball Club Newsletter - April 2021

Well that's it folks! 

It is the end of another great softball season and what an ending it was. It has been an eventful couple of months with our teams competing in the finals, the Junior Prizegiving, Senior Prizegiving and some of our members attending tournaments around New Zealand. 

We would like to acknowledge all of those people who have helped with the 2020/2021 season. Without you, there would be no club and we appreciate your support. 

We hope you all keep safe and healthy during the Winter period and we will see you all back on the diamond next season. 

Mā te wā!

Calling all members, we need you!

We need your help to pull down the fences and clean up the area at our end of season working bee.

WHEN: Sunday 18th April 2021
TIME: 10:00am

More hands make lighter work, so come on down, bring your smile and lend a hand.
