The WESTS HOME RUN DERBY was the SMASH HIT of the season so far

Members and friends had a great day at Wests yesterday – great weather, sensational food, smashing events and a good time was had by all.

Huge shout out to Andrew “Rawlo” Rawlinson for creating the day – even if he was lollygagging over in the USA on the day.

The Brisbane Bandits were a huge part of the day and thanks to Ryan Searle; “Buster” and the team for their support

B2B attended with their large range of quality baseball gear and they provide 2 x $50 vouchers.

The food trucks were amazing with Flaming Horns smoked meats – so delicious; the ice cream and coffee trucks provided great product and our own canteen served heart warming, tasty food.

The great day ended with the extensive prize range being awarded.

Thanks to our hard working Committee for making this day so special
