to all WLC players, family and friends to our first newsletter of 2017 for what we hope will be another successful lacrosse season for the club. In addition to our usual communications via Facebook and TeamApp, which we encourage all to join, we will be sending out regular emails providing information of fixtures, results, upcoming events, and general news.

Fearon Reserve

As you are no doubt aware upgrading works continue on the Fearon Reserve. Works to date include levelling, new irrigation system and finally turf being rolled out this week. There have been a number of setbacks to the upgrade which will basically mean we will not be able to use the Fearon until the turf has fully taken. Council have indicated mid-May before we might get access. We will continue to update you on the progress but we need to be patient to ensure the surface is completely ready for use before we start using The Fearon again.

In the meantime we have been working closely with council to ensure we have suitable training and playing venues.

Sponsorship

The club relies and appreciates the support our sponsors provide each year. Sponsorship is integral to the running of the club and ultimately to our success. Sponsorship is used to keep player fees down, provide essential resources and most importantly allows us to actively engage in junior recruitment and development.

The club wishes to thank the organisers of the Klemm-Bell Surfboards 50th anniversary reunion held in Williamstown in Janurary. Their kind donation from funds raised on the day wil be used for Junior Development.

Anyone wishing to sponsor the club are asked to contact the club to discuss details.

Player Registration & Family BBQ

All Senior & Junior players, family and friends are invited to the Player Registration & Pre-Season Family BBQ at the WLC Clubrooms from 3pm onwards on Sunday 5^th March.
