QLD MASTERS IS ON FACEBOOK - ARE YOU??
Thanks to Mick Lever Qld Masters is now on Facebook. It is hoped that eventually this will be a useful way to contact each other, pass on the latest news, post pictures and results from carnivals - the list goes on.
If you are already on Facebook then simply search for Qld Mens Masters Hockey - soon you will be able to link from our website as well.
If you (like me) are not already on Facebook (or Faceache) as a friend insists on calling it, then simply search for Facebook on your browser, sign up with as little or as much information as possible and search for Qld Masters hockey as before.
