We’re having a ten pin bowling day at AMF Bowling in Castle Hill (3 Salisbury Rd, Castle Hill) on Saturday, 17 July starting at 1pm.

Because it will be school holidays, there’s a holiday special: $21.90 for two games for adults including Shoe Hire and every paying adult one child is free.

For any questions, please phone Brittany Mamula on 0432 175 402.

Our ten pin bowling days are always a lot of fun so we hope we see you there!

Annual National Sporting Weekend

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:00:47 +0000

This year was the SSPA’s 15th Annual National Sporting Weekend in Albury. This weekend was originally introduced in 1995 to provide opportunities for people with short stature to play competitive sport against others like themselves. It began with the State of Origin match between the NSW and Victorian basketball teams and has since progressed into a weekend which provides competitive sporting opportunities for all who attended. Since 1995, Leanne Wegner has coordinated the organisation of this wonderful event and we thank her for all of her time and effort. The weekend has grown from strength to strength and has turned itself into a mini-convention with on average, 80 people in attendance.

2010 saw some new sports added to the agenda including boccia and badminton, as well as the usual State of Origin basketball match between Victoria and NSW. Victoria played a great match and were deserving winners of the Rosemary Hobbs Trophy, 34-19.

Trivia Night

We held a trivia night fund raiser on Saturday 22nd May, 2010 at Carlingford Bowling, Sports & Recreation Club. We were raising funds for this year’s Convention being held in Western Australia.

As well as the trivia competition, there was a raffle and auction. Whilst the night went very well, the funds raised were lower than recent year due to our lowest turnout for a while.

If you’d like to support the branch but haven’t got time to get involved in the running of it, supporting events like these is an easy but also very helpful way to help out.

NSW Branch Meeting

We held a branch meeting at Troy Parker’s house in Kings Park on Saturday 22nd May, 2010. We were joined by a few members from Victoria who were visiting for the weekend for the trivia fund raiser on the same night.

Besides the interstate visitors, numbers were still low. If you’re interested in coming along to meetings we’re always keen to have members come along and have a say in the running of the branch.

Basketball 2010

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 03:00:29 +0000

We held basketball training during the first half of 2010 at Blacktown and Emerton Leisure Centres.

So far there’s no basketball planned for the second half of the year but there will no doubt be some sports days organised so please check the website for further updates.

Easter Picnic

We had an Easter Picnic at Lake Parramatta Reserve on Sunday, 21 March, 2010. Unfortunately, not many people were able to make it but it was still a great spot and a fun time.

Sports Day

We held another Sports Day at Emerton Leisure Centre on March 7 from 1pm to 4pm.

We played basketball, followed by badminton, boccia and then indoor soccer. Some of the younger ones enjoyed the pool at the centre also.

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed a fun day!

NSW Branch Meeting

Our February meeting was originally planned for the Bos’ near Newcastle but was switched to the home of Michael Blair in Narrabeen. The meeting started around 11am and afterwards all stayed around for a bbq lunch.

With beautiful Narrabeen beach a short walk away, most cooled off after the bbq with a swim at the beach.

Pool Party

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:00:29 +0000

We held a pool party & bbq at the Mamula’s in Greystanes on Saturday 13th February. Despite overcast weather for most of the day, we had a good turnout and plenty of time in the pool for most that went.

Thanks to the Mamula’s for hosting another wonderful pool party!
