Pan Pacific Masters Games 2020, Gold Coast
The Pan Pacs are very popular, this has resulted in a significant number of basketball teams in 2014, 2016 and 2018 being unable to register. A further complication in 2020 will be the need to register five players at the start when registering a team; this may restrict the Club from registering two teams per age group. We need members to commit early or members may miss out.
Christmas Party - 2019
The Club held their Annual Christmas Function on Saturday, 23 November 2019 at The Veneto Club Club, Bulleen, Victoria.
