Are you the next helper Bullants need to keep our club operating and our players on court?  You don’t need to have netball skills, just a willingness to pitch in and give back to your community. It might be that you share club information with our team Managers, help put our kit bags together at the start of the season or help with our end of season events. The ongoing committee members can provide guidance and answer questions. We are always looking for more people-power!

Stay inside, stay warm and hopefully we’ll be back on court next week!
