The Polocrosse Victoria Committee encourage all members to have ambulance insurance because ambulance is not covered by VPA Insurance. Worth checking if it is covered by your private health insurance - It is only $80.60 family and $40.30 Single and here is the link http://www.ambulance.vic.gov.au/Membership

Tournament

Our tournament will be held on March 15-16 @ Ballarat, more info to come closer to the date. We will need people with RSA’s to help us out on the bar - The club will pay for those interested to attend the accreditation course so please let us know names asap.

The 2014 Victorian Season draw is still in draft format and it is attached. I will send a revised version and South Australian draw once finalised.

Sponsors

Crossroads Trading will again be the Clubs major sponsor. We will have a selection of sponsorship packages available this season including season and tournament sponsors starting at just $250. We are drafting these at present so please give some thought to potential new sponsors.

Team/name entries

All weekly entries go to Zac Gleeson 0431304017 on a Monday before the tournament. Zac needs to enter players via the VPA website before it closes so please be mindful to get your names in early

Club gear (shirts etc)
