A word from our president

Hello fellow Picklers,

Well, what a great time we've been having, new venues, and so many new times to play here in the Garden City. 

The opening day at 'The Church' was brilliant with the sun shining almost as brightly as the play. Nice to also have Matt Carter call in for a few games.  We’re sure it helped his training for the pro league team the NZ Hustle!

Our club coaches were boosted by two more, with Ian & Augie sitting their IPTPA Level 1 qualification. Handy timing with our two new sessions for newer players to the game as they enter our fantastic sport. 

See you all at the Kitchen line , happy dinking!

Alister Giddens, President
