MESSAGE FROM GIL VOYSEY

We are all set for the National Masters Championships for 2019 to be hosted by Western Australia Country in Bunbury and Busselton. The tournament runs for a fortnight from Saturday September 28, younger ages finals Sunday October 6, older ages finals Saturday October 12. This year a total of 82 teams are attending, and we have 16 teams representing Queensland. This translates into is a very busy time for selectors and committee to prepare and organise over 250 players, plus support personnel, officials, etc. The task has been made much trickier with a very large number of withdrawals.
Some dates to note:
Australian Masters teams nominations close before the tournament at 9.00pm Saturday 22 September.
Queensland Masters Committee AGM will be 9.30am Thursday October 3 at Bunbury Hockey Centre.
Queensland Dinner at South-West Italian Club at Bunbury on Friday night October 4. Your manager will have more info.
NB:
In 2020 Men’s Masters Championships will be
45s, 50s, 55s, 60s, 65, 70s, 75s June-July
35s, 40s early October
Both at venues to be announced
I would like to wish all of you who are heading west every success for the tournament. Represent your state proudly, and remember what a privilege that is by showing respect to team mates, officials and opponents. Let’s all make sure we have a great time!
Gil

 
OVER 60 CARNIVAL 2020
The Qld Mens Masters Over 60 Carnival at which the Qld OVer 60,65,70,and 75 teams are chosen will be held in 2020 in CAIRNS from 29 - 31 May.
This will cause some potential issues witht the Nationals being held in  June/July.  The committee is relying on all those selected in Qld teams to be prompt with uniform orders, payments etc in order for this date to remain in place.  I am confident that us older guys can be organised when we need to be.
Ray Langler (Canrival Organiser)
 
 

 
IMPORTANT DATES 2020
1. As Gil mentioned above, in 2020 Men’s Masters Championships will be
