Hockey! CPL grand final Friday night.
http://www.hockeyact.org.au/news-archive/news/article/2012/may/cpl-grand-final/
CPL was a new competition structure this year, only 4 teams of high level players from all clubs getting together for some really fast paced, jazzed up games. Womens at 6.30pm, Mens at 8pm
It’s a great atmosphere, hot chips, hot chocolates and alcohol on sale. Think about taking the kids if you haven’t been before, make sure you rug up and take a blanky!
A friend & I are taking our preschoolers to the Pegasus Open Day and Mini-Fete, which I actually saw advertised here on the Riot Act:
