Division 2 Training Changes

Apologies for late notice.

Please note that while at Oval 7 on these two nights we are NOT permitted to use football boots. RUNNERS ONLY! Also, please be aware that there will be areas of the field still under repair and we may not have full access to changerooms and the canteen.

The field may also remain closed for Monday 6th of December if the rain does not cease over the weekend.
UPDATE: Oakman Park has now been closed for Monday 6th of December 2010.

Friday 3rd of December the alternate training will be a Biathlon to be held at Ithaca Pool on Caxton Street, Paddington. Training will start promptly at 6pm, so make sure you are there before that time. Training will finish around 7pm.

All players will need to bring togs/towel/runners. You will also need to bring $4 entry per person to get into the pool.

Monday 6th of December training will be held in the UQ Sport High Performance Gym from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. UQ Sport have kindly given us the use of the HPG for free. Please make sure that we are returning the HPG to it’s original state once we are finished.
