Dear members and supporters,
We have a busy week around the club this week with all our teams finally in action with the return of Dodgers T-Ball on Friday nights. This season the program’s time has been changed to 5:30pm, so take note and see you out there. Alex and Aimee Earle have taken on the role of T-Ball co-ordinator this season, so if you see them out there on a Friday night remember to say thank you.
After the successful Senior Player Auction last weekend following a gala weekend of home games, this Saturday night also brings our Dodgers Halloween celebration. There will be the annual diamond walk throughout the night to judge the best dressed costumes, fun and games and all around a good time for members of all ages.
Canteen, bar and umpiring rosters are available via our Facebook members group each week.

PLAYER AUCTION NIGHT RECAP
Our Senior Division 1 and 2 squad were up for auction last Saturday night, with incentives for best player each week and other coaching sessions, this turned out to be a great night all around for the players and the club.
Lots of bidding wars developed across the board and it was a fun night on all fronts.
See below some images from the night of the players and their winning bidders.

THURSDAY NIGHT CLUB MEALS
Thursday Night club meals are back this season, with Anne Christensen coming on board to fill the gap in the In-House Operations Director again this season, she is bringing some amazing options out each week again.
Every week there will be a rostered senior team to assist, so when it’s your team’s turn please make sure there are people provided per the roster at the requested times.
Check Facebook each week to see what options are being provided, and come down and have a yarn with other club members and past players each week and help support the club.
DODGERS HALLOWEEN
Get your costumes ready if they are not, because this our Dodgers Halloween celebration is this Saturday! This is an all ages event and we are looking forward to seeing many Dodgers families out!
There will be the annual Diamond Walk for the judging of the best dressed, donut eating competitions, raffles and more!
Our major sponsor, the Pickled Duck, has donated 2 vouchers to be used in the restaurant at a total value of $40 for the winners of our Dodgers Colouring Competition.
See the attached image and this is available in print at the club all weekend. The competition will close at 5pm on Sunday, 29 October, so make sure they are returned to the club by then! There will be a colouring station around the club as well so kids can do so while at the club. Good luck!
