Proud Supporters Page 3 Tournament News 2015 Congratulations to all of the girls who represented Laurimar Netball Club at the recent Banyule Tournament. We had 2 x U11 Teams, 2 x U13 Teams and 1 x U15 team that travelled to Macleod on a cool Sunday morning and had a tremendous experience. The day started with a Net Fit session involving some celebrities including Chloe Watson from the Melbourne Vixens which put everyone in the right mood and warmed up ready for action. All of our teams put up great performances, but the highlights were the U13 A Team finishing Runner Up and our U15 team also finishing Runner Up. Thanks to our Coaches, Lisa, Treasa, Adam, Bob and Olevia and our umpires, Chloe, Akira, Olivia, Claudia and Denise. Our next Tournament is the Craigieburn Club Tournament on Sunday 20th September.

Dear Laurimar Netball Families, Part of our plan to raise funds for Laurimar Netball Club we are running a fantastic Ferguson Plarre Family Pie Fundraiser. Ferguson Plarre has been making Pies & Savouries for over 110 years so have perfected their recipes over a long time. You know that when you get a treat from a Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses that you are getting a top quality, hand-made treat for a great price. We have decided to run a Family Pie Drive! Each Family Pie is available for $12.50 which is less than the RRP, so this is great value for you and your family and friends. All of our profits will go to Laurimar Netball Club. You, or your representative, will be able to collect your special Ferguson Plarre Family Beef Pies from the Doreen Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses on FRIDAY 4 th September. To encourage all members to participate in this Fundraiser, we are giving the team that sells the most pies a team PIE NIGHT (pie and drink to each team member and coach) at Ferguson s Doreen. We suggest you sell to family members, colleagues in the workplace, friends or neighbours. We do not recommend involving children in selling, but if they are involved, they must do so under adult supervision, especially if selling door to door. We ask that all orders and money collected be returned to Nicole Pearson (0408 992 933) or a Committee Member in an envelope by the Wednesday 2 nd September. Please remember to take a copy of your order. Fundraising activities such as this make a vital contribution towards improving FACILITIES for the benefit of our entire Netball Club In anticipation of a successful fundraising drive, we thank you for your support. Nicole Pearson & Ian Landy Laurimar Netball Club
