21.01.2022 LAST CHANCE! We our holding our final AGM tomorrow night at the Rec Centre, 6pm start. This is our last chance at having a basketball competition for this sea...son. We need to meet our quorum of 25 financial members (from last season) but we invite everyone to come along. Attendance by all members is requested to discuss options for the season as a result of the delayed start from poor attendance at the previous AGM’s. If you do not attend to have your say on the season, do not complain about the decisions made. Some issues for discussion will include: - Season timing i.e. reduced season, playing multiple nights per week, recommence in early January, etc? - Junior competition only if there is no interest in taking on full committee roles do we consider just running a junior competition this year (provided that the key committee positions can be filled still to manage this)? - If no season competition, will we still consider nominating for country championships? Please come along so we can have a basketball season. Please also ensure at least 2 members per team are present, but the more the better. See you tomorrow!

21.01.2022 Don't forget our AGM is this Monday 8th February! 6pm @ MRC&LC - The quorum is 20 financial members and a minimum of 4 members for club are required to attend. See you there!! :)

17.01.2022 A progressive workout routine involves incrementally increasing the length, difficulty or number of fitness sessions that you complete each week. This type of workout plan helps to gradually build your fitness, strength and exercise performance over a set time, or until you reach your main fitness goal and get where you want to be! Ways to progress your workout might include: ... Cardio Add in new terrains try adding in some hills or slopes to your path each week to increase the intensity or difficulty of your regular cardio session. Strength Increase your sets or reps Try increasing the number of repetitions or sets in your current strength or weights routine. If you are currently doing two sets of 10 reps of bicep curls, you might like to try doing three sets the next week, then four sets the following week. Group Fitness Classes Participate in a longer class. You might like to switch to a 45-minute class instead of a 30-minute class throughout the week.
