Narromine Jets set for take-off at the Masquerade Ball

“BACK in the day”, South Dubbo stung like Hornets

When John Colwell was blasting sixes at Victoria Park and Andrew Zell, Cameron Humphries, Jarrod “Choppy” Simpson and Mick Hall were smashing stumps, the fun-loving Hornets stung everyone.

Last Friday night the team reunited for the South Dubbo Castlereagh Hornets clash with Colts under the big lights at No.1.

Our main photo (right) shows the years have treated most of them well!

Unfortunately, the young South Dubbo side was overwhelmed by the experienced Colts who have taken over the mantle as “team to beat” since the Hornets’ halcyon days in the 1990s.

It was great to see so many travelling home to catch up ST MARY’S Primary School competed strongly at the Northern Region Catholic Schools Carnival in Coonamble last week. 17 swimmers will compete in the Diocesan Carnival today (Thursday, March 1) at Dubbo Aquatic Centre.

Sally Everett says tickets will go on sale on May 1 for this year’s Masquerade-themed Ball at the Narromine United Services Memorial Club on June 1.

“Ball-goers can expect champagne on arrival, a three-course meal, DJ, photo booth with Katie Havercroft Photography, a take-home souvenir and our very own Jets’ players showing their off-field talents with Burlesque performances,” Sally bubbled.

Major sponsors of the Ball are Toby & Kellie Rush Constructions and David Reid Homes who are also generously backing the photo booth. The Narromine USMC is providing souvenir stubby holders and the Ball committee appreciate the generous support of local businesses who have already made contributions.

“The Masquerade Ball can not be the success it is shaping to be without their support. Sponsorship proposals are currently open and the committee is keen to speak to anyone interested in being part of this hugely successful night. It was a sell-out last time and we have every con-fidence that the June 1 Masquerade will go the same way,” Sally said.

Tickets are $60 per head and the format of the night is tables of 10 so start organising your ta-bles now!
