Over the last couple of seasons the club has raised money through sales of Cadbury Chocolates Variety boxes.  Simon Krieg has taken on this important job this year and placed an offer for 15 variety boxes, each box having 50 chocolate bars, for sale at $1 per bar.  The 15 variety boxes have been delivered to my work address and Heath has kindly taken the first 3 boxes and I think he was passing one of these boxes onto Stinga to sell through his contacts.  Thanks guys!

I have sent this message to everyone on the committee and the team captains hoping that you will all put your hand up to co-ordinate the sale of these boxes.  Let me know if you can sell a box on behalf of the club.  The club gets to keep all proceeds from the sale of these boxes.  I can bring the boxes down to training on Thursday night.
