Greetings all! Welcome to August!
First and foremost, I wanted to send out a huge thank you to all for your help with our inaugural Bunnings Sausage Sizzle held on a weekend that had a lot going on in Townsville. We successfully raised $650 for our association, which as pledged, has gone towards subsidising the costs of our training shirts and singlets. I am so pleased with how so many have stepped up and purchased one. Not only will we be walking billboards for the association, but we are promoting our sponsors. The support of our sponsors has enabled AFLTUA to contribute when our rep umpires attend competitions in an official capacity.

In the past month we had another Cactus Jacks catch-up, which was well attended and just awesome for some of us to use our club ‘Legend’ vouchers.

Our next event as posted via Facebook and promoted at training is the Putt Putt Golf Night. It will be a family social night to mark the end of the Home and Away Season on Saturday 18th August from 6pm.
Prices will be:
Adults $19.50

We will be dusting off the ol putt putt award 😁
Please let me know via the Facebook post if you able to attend the mini golf, for booking purposes.

Our next Compulsory Night (2 August) will be
Roast Pork and Gravy Rolls with Coleslaw
And for Dessert - Sticky date Pudding and Ice-cream with Butterscotch Sauce
(I was a bit keen last time and cooked double what was needed, so plenty for Thursday. Perfect 👍)
As always, Family and Sponsors are more than welcome to pop along. Any non-members it is a $2 contribution.

Well that’s about all for now…. See you round the paddock 😁 KO
And remember, we as an umpire group are proudly supported by our association sponsors. Please if you or anyone you know are in need of a product or service that they supply. Keep them in mind and mention that your part of the AFLTUA. That way they know that we are getting their brand out there.
