19.01.2022 Thank you to everyone that has started training. Numbers are looking really good. It is important that we have everyone at training that would like to play as we have to nominate teams in the next few weeks. Going on current numbers we look to field a Ladies C, D and E side as well as a men’s side which is super exciting. Hope to see you all at training tomorrow 6-7. If you can’t make it and haven’t already got your name down to play please comment below or send us a message.

13.01.2022 ** FINAL SEASON UPDATE ** It is with regret to inform our OAKEY BEARS TOUCH FAMILY that the winter season has officially been CANCELLED for 2020. As you are aware, all the clubs together with the TTA met again last night (29/6) to discuss whether it was reasonable to commence a short season. Unfortunately, it was agreed this would not be viable.... We understand some of our players may be disappointed but this has been totally out of our hands. Due to restrictions of COVID-19. If you want a question answered regarding any of this - ask and we will answer them. We look forward to seeing all our seniors, refreshed, in 2021. Stay fit, stay healthy and keep safe.

13.01.2022 Due to increased interest over the last few days we will postpone naming the teams. Final numbers to be determined after tonight’s training. All interested players please attend.

12.01.2022 Hi everyone. Teams are getting finalised and will be posted in the below private group before training on Tuesday. Please join the private group to see the post. It is important that we get everyone interested in playing to training as some teams are at capacity and we need to confirm exact numbers.

11.01.2022 What a great session we had last week for our first training run in 2020. Just a reminder that training is on tonight 6-7pm. We look forward to seeing you all there. If you missed last week but would like to play it’s not too late! Come along and register your interest.

01.01.2022 Hi Oakey Bears Touch, we just wanted to touch base as it’s been awhile. We hope everyone is well, it certainly has been trying times. The touch season will be discussed at a meeting in Toowoomba on Monday the 29th June to decide whether or not the season will commence. We will have a representative at the meeting and we will share the outcome as soon as possible. For the season to commence TTA will have to have a COVID safe plan signed off by the relevant authority. ... We also need to consider that as a club we will have to develop our own COVID safe plan and we will need volunteers to fill some new required roles. We may also need volunteers to fill roles every Saturday defined by the TTA COVID safe plan. If the current restrictions stay in place Kearney Springs could only have 100 people at the entire venue at any one time. If this continues the season would not be possible. If it is lifted to 300 people the season may commence Saturday 11th July. This will be a touch season that we have never been part of. We would turn up play our game and leave straight after. We wouldn’t be able to watch other games. Oakey Touch would also need to adapt our training sessions around COVID safety plans, this may require staggered training sessions for different grades, we would need a sign on sheet for a record of attendance and access risk management. Hopefully after the meeting on Monday we will have a clearer direction but if you are still interested in playing this season it would be really helpful if you could please comment on this post or send a private message. This will allow us to see that we still have numbers should we need to know at the meeting. Could we also ask that if you are playing that you would be able to volunteer to help the club on game days as well as training if needed. If we don’t have volunteers we wouldn’t be able to fill the required roles which could mean we wouldn’t be able to get our players on the field. Thank you for taking the time to read this update and we look forward to Monday so we can share more information. We look forward to seeing everyone back on the touch field when that time comes. If you have any questions please let us know and we will do our best to find out the answers.
