The site fence for our new amenities block went up today. Stage 1 of our club house has begun! It's been a long time in the making and we would like to thank everyone involved with the process, from the original grant through to the leg work with council over these past few months. You are all amazing. The women of Emu thank you especially! We will have toilets up the top!

Please remember: 
(1) Draws are subject to change. 
(2) We need as much help as possible on the BBQ and in the canteen so please help where you can. 
(3) Contact your coach/manager to clarify uncertainty. 
(4) Teams and divisions will not be completely finalised until late March so please do not panic, gossip or stress over team selections and division nominations - when in doubt, ask a committee member for the facts
(5) Have fun!

Please read the attached message from Penrith Panthers' High Performance Manager, Matt Cameron, regarding the 2013 CUBs program.
