4. Barbeque:
This season we will have a roster of age groups to run the barbeque each week, as shown on the Nippers calendar. Each age group
has been rostered on twice during the season. At the beginning of each Nippers, the rostered age group will ask for a few volunteers
to go to the BBQ area by about 10-10.15am (generally in front of the club, depending on the weather). The food, price lists,
instructions etc will be ready and waiting. BBQs on Nippers Days are yummy, friendly, fun, and an important fundraiser for the Club.
