    Masters required for Newcastle games

    The ADF Basketball Association anticipates sending a women's over-30 team and a men's over-35 team to the games, so the opportunity to represent the ADF is open if you fit these age categories and are a current serving member or past serving member who has been involved in ADFBA-sponsored events.
    Further information from SGT BJ Browning by phoning 02-4928 6242, or FSGT Tassie Horvat on 02-4928 6118.

    Hit squad wanted for island
    Interested squash players are sought to have a hit during lunchtime at the Garden Island gym or after work at Garden Island or Randwick Army base.
