July 2014.
Hi All Diamond Burras ,
This is just an update on what is going on at footy club and who is away on holidays and who have come back.
We have a bye this weekend which is a great time to do other pastimes other than footy or netball. There are a few travelling to the snow and hopefully not injuring themselves (only their livers I presume). There are some who are going to catch up on sleep or family outings or just plain doing nothing all weekend.
We still have a some jetsetters overseas, meaning Thea and Hugh. Thea became a grandmother again while away and cannot wait to see Daniel in person for a big cuddle. Daniel made his first appearance at Diggers home game against Kilmore and checked out the netball court and also The Burra Club and had a lot of attention from all the ladies. A few of The Diamond Burras, including mother of Daniel, Adele welcomed him into the world with a alcoholic beverage.
Another Diamond Burra, Jenny Stead is on a driving holiday to NSW and Queensland with her husband Paul. While away Paul will celebrate his 60th birthday and when Jenny returns at end of July she will be looking forward to becoming a Grandmother for the first time and she also will be celebrating her 60th birthday on
10th August. It is to say a big month for The Steads.
We welcome back Judi and Des Higgins from the overseas holiday and like a true Burra, Desi came to the footy on Saturday after arriving home at 6am that morning.
Congratulations go out to Diamiond Burra, Claire Williams and Peter O'Connor on the impending birth of their first grandchild due in December. Best wishes to Rachel.
A big happy birthday goes out to Lance Eddy, who also on 10th August will be turning 60. Isn't that a coincidence that he shares the same day, month and year as Jenny Stead?.
They maybe be brother and sister!!
We would like to say that our Secretary and fellow Diamiond Burra is recovering from her illness. She is on the mend after TLC from her boys and family to recover and get back healthy. It's fair to say the bar sales for bubbly went down that week but she is trying to make up for it now! We need everybody fit and well for the season ending and our finals campaign.
A big Hello to Chris McKay as well. It will be great to catch up again at the footy with you.
Everyone enjoy their weekend off and see you all at Romsey for our next game.
'GO BURRAS'
Cheers,
Dawn.
PS. Will try to get together for a drink or chat before the season ends. Watch this space.
Dawn.
Hi all Diamond Burras and Hugh,
I am hoping everybody is fit and well. A big hello goes out to Chris McKay and hoping you are on the road to full health again.
Some of our Diamond Burras have been travelling or are about to travel. We wish them well and hoping they do miss yelling 'GO BURRAS' whilst
they are enjoying their holidays.
Two of our Diamond Burras are having babies. Adele Downey who has only weeks to go and Mel Sharpe, who is due in September.
There will be more Baby Burras running around the Burra Club. We wish Adele and Mel all the best.
We have a very big weekend coming up on Sunday 8th. June. We will be playing Broadford and Barry Hall is playing so we are hoping there will be a huge crowd
come to watch at our ground. I am hoping any Diamond Burras who can help out on the day the club would be much appreciated.
If you can spare time to help out around the ground just tell Chris, Sue, Lance or myself, and we can give you a job to do.
We are playing Riddell this week so lets hope we can get all our teams over the line with our support.
GO BURRAS.
Cheers,
Dawn.

Dear Diamond Burras & Hugh,
" WELCOME TO SEASON 2014 "
If any of The Diamond Burras were personally affected by the fires this week, our love and support go out to you all.
It's that time of year again. Our registration night for DIAMOND BURRA MEMBERS will be on MONDAY 3RD MARCH at 7.30pm at The Burra Club.
If you can attend would you please let me know for catering purposes. There will be drinks and nibbles available and also it will be a nice time to chat to new members and catch up with our ongoing members for 2014.
The cost of membership is still $100 dollars and can be paid on the 3rd March or if you choose to pay earlier there are several ways to do it.
1. CASH
2. CHEQUE (Payable to Diggers Rest Football Club Inc.)
3. EFTPOS
4. EFT BANK DEPOSIT ( BSB NO. 633-000 A/C No. 141807339 )
If there are any problems with payments please contact me.
As part of our membership we sponsor a footballer or netballer. There are a few new players and netballers so hopefully I"ll have a list of who can be sponsored.
We will let you know of new merchandise that will be available for sale at the start of season and also the social events that will be occurring during the season as well.
Our first big event will be April 5th. at our ground as a seasons launch. It is actually Round 1 but we have a bye, so we are having practice games, in football and netball, against Bacchus Marsh.
That night the club is having BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. So if you Diamond Burras have kept your school uniforms you can wear them and join in the fun. There should be a lot of laughs on the night. It is being organised by Amy and Peta who just happen to be Diamond Burras. Well done girls!!
More information will be available in The Blog, which will be published next week.
We also have to talk to our man TUCKS to see what his DIAMOND BURRA contribution will be this year to our fundraiser.
We may have to beg Sue to complete that task!!
Thankyou for being Diamond Burras in 2014. Hope to hear and see many of you on 3rd March. Please let me know if you can attend.
Cheers
Dawn.
GO THE BURRAS IN 2014
