25.01.2022 Smashing handsteel at training today! Biceps will be feeling it tonight

24.01.2022 Tonight is the night for our AGM and wind down function, all loyal sponsors, wombats supporters and those interested in the wombats are welcome to attend! Just a friendly reminder that if you are displaying cold or flu like symptoms please stay home! If you are interested in joining the committee and cannot attend tonight please send the page a message and we will ensure your name is put forward. ... We'll be practising social distancing and will have hand sanitizer available for all. It is a cold day in Kal today so make sure you rug up as our shed doesn't have heating! And please bring $10 to cover BBQ costs. See you tonight!

24.01.2022 The WASM Wombats have been actively broadening their presence on the web and social media - from the creation of our website at www.wasmwombats.com within the last year, to our most recent LinkedIn page which was set up just a week ago. Follow us here to find out more about the club, and how we are constantly looking to build closer relationships with not only our sponsors, but the many other companies within the mining industry... who may even be interested in becoming future sponsors!

20.01.2022 Come help us out at @diggersndealers 2019! We're looking for student volunteers to help us out to pack the conference bags and do some mic running during the conference.

17.01.2022 Sam popped down to Ausdrill Limited today to catch up with the new managing director Adrian Firth; to not only chat about the Wombats recent America trip, the competition and American mine tours, but also to thank Ausdrill for their gold sponsorship for the second year in a row! A huge thank you to Ausdrill from all the 2019 Wombats! #ausdrill #wasmwombats #legends

17.01.2022 The WASM Wombats have recently been scattered around Kalgoorlie and Perth, and have taken this opportunity to thank some of their many sponsors. Recently, some Wombats visited Boart Longyear, Onsite, Perseverance Drilling, and Saracen, who all supported the team under our Bronze Sponsorship package. Thanks to these companies for their generous ongoing support. #boatlongyear #onsite #perseverancedrilling #saracen

17.01.2022 Keeping with the past years trends of zoom meetings, skype calls and digital relationships the Wombats and the Mining Games are back! This years games will be contested digitally. In short what that means is all teams will film themselves competing in all the usual events and upload the film to a google drive folder to be judged and scored. The games will be judged in accordance with a general set of rules currently being compiled and set to be the standard for years to come.... All teams are aiming to compete on the weekend of 19-21st of March with allowances to be granted for anyone subjected to travel restrictions or other prevailing circumstances. If any alumni teams wish to enter the competition please get in touch with us via messenger. With no travel out of WA required, hopefully we have a strong showing on this front! Finally we would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support during these times. While life is effectively back to normal in WA many other places are not as lucky but these games show the strength and proud history of both the mining games and the wider mining games community.

16.01.2022 Another HUGE thank you to STEEL BLUE Boots for your continued support of the wombats. We didn't make it to the games this year but we will be back soon with a vengeance wearing the comfiest boots known to mankind. #thankyou #steelblue #mininggames2020 #WASMWombats #builtforcomfortmadeforwork #comfortguaranteed
