Stingers Update - June 2021

Published Sat 29 May 2021


Good luck to both our Spice Girls and our Ballers this winter!

We had over a third of the club at Gunyama Park Sunday for the launch of our first INTRA competition! Thanks to all the Stingers that came out to support and good luck to our 5 teams of Stingers, each with their very own new junior coach, vying to be our first INTRA champions! INTRA will continue Sundays at 6:15pm until the Grand Finals on 11 July. Come to ALL IN training from 4:45pm and stick around to cheer on our INTRA teams!

Good luck also to our 5 METRO teams this winter season. The L4 and L5 teams start Round 1 this week out at Ryde from 7:15 and 8pm; I would encourage you to go support your fellow Stingers! M5 and M7 teams start next week. Training will continue across winter, with a training schedule for the entire season available on the RevSport training page

Coming up

The Club will shortly poll to determine how many teams we will send, but if you want to get in early, you can pre-register and save on final registration costs today! 
  • INTRA Finals are on 11 July! Come along to Gunyama to see who will take the first title. We will have awards and a social event following the finals.
  • Trivia is happening on 23 and 24 July! Get your co-workers in Friday night and your friends in Saturday!

 

Trivia is back!

Our club's famous Stingers Trivia is back this year, taking us on a tour of the decades over two nights on the 23rd and 24th of July. The club might be reaching two decades of history itself this year, but our Trivia Nights will test your knowledge (and nostalgia) back in time even further. Stingers Trivia is one of the most important and fun events of the year for us as a club and it's a fun-filled evening full of performances, prizes and a few trivia questions for your friends, family and co-workers. 

Tickets go on sale next week! Watch out for announcements from our Trivia Managers Alex Lau and Tim Spencer, and help us sell out these 2 nights in record time this year!

Additionally, if you're keen to help out on the night, whether through participating in performance, supporting the event or connecting us with spectacular prizes to draw people in, reach out to Alex or Tim. 

Help make Stingers run - become our next Recruits or Social Coordinator!

We are looking for new and capable hands to help manage some of the club's most exciting and rewarding roles. A huge thanks to Brad Hastings for managing recruitment and bootcamp and to Ivan Buckingham for managing our social events over the last few years. If you're passionate about helping others discover how great our club is, or in helping members enjoy just how great we are through our social events, please reach out to myself or Bianca. We are keen to ensure that all parts of the club are represented across the club's management, so please reach out if you have questions or want to contribute but are unsure how. 

See you in the water 💦
