Hammer and Tongs

Are you gifted on the grill? Are you a first class flipper? Then we need your help!

Beavers Basketball Club will be manning the Bunnings Warehouse BBQ at the Epsom store from 9am until 4pm on Sunday, August 14. If you can spare two or three hours on this day, please email Peter Allan at secretary@beaversbasketball.com.au

This is one of our major fundraising events for the year, helping to offset the cost of training court hire as well as many other club expenses. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other Beavers members and players from other teams!

Even if you can only help out for an hour or two, email secretary@beaversbasketball.com.au and show your support for Team Red!
