Dear members
It’s looking like it’s going to be another big week for the Dodgers.
Last weekend, our annual Halloween event was a successful night, it was great to see a bit of fun off the diamond and the well thought out costume ideas from our members this year.
This week ahead brings our Senior Player Auction on Thursday night at the club, and a relatively quiet weekend for home games. Our Sponsors and Life Members Night is being held on 15 November, and invitations are currently being distributed to those members.
Canteen and umpiring rosters are made available weekly on our Facebook members group, link at the bottom of this email.

It was fantastic to see everyone dress up and enjoy our annual Halloween event again this season.
The lucky raffle prize winner was Sharon Farr, and best dressed on the night went to:
Jason Earle as Willy Wonka

Tayla Conry as Po the Teletubby
Brandon Manzella as Maverick from Top Gun
There are a lot more photos on our Dodgers Members Group on Facebook, so be sure to check it out!
A big thanks goes to Liv Trembath and her wonderful team of helpers for getting this event up and running last weekend.
Senior Player Auction Fundraiser – This Thursday!
This Thursday, 3 November, brings our Senior Player Auction fundraiser to GGCD.
You’ve now been able to see the players in action on the field, so come and enjoy Pulled Pork Sliders during our regular Thursday Night Club Meal and support the Senior playing squad in this annual fundraising event.
Due to the timing it won’t be a late night, so be ready at 7:30pm and MC Steve Conry will get the action underway.
Adelaide Giants v Super League All-Star Game
Our very own Jake Campbell and AJ Verastegui have been selected for the Super League All-Star squad to play the Adelaide Giants tonight at West Beach.
Both players are anticipated to be in the starting line-up, so be sure to tune in.
Watch the action here if watching from home: https://youtu.be/doDLzzLGHmU
