You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.
Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.
We play twice a week and the 2020 season is starting up this coming Wednesday night 5th February.
Wednesday nights we play from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm and it is for the older teens, youth and adults.
Sunday afternoons we have children and younger teens from age about 6 and upwards playing from 4:00pm until about 5:15pm….
Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.
We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.
If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Cheers
Ole, Daren & Clint

Manna Park Community Church

They give you a price & then deny giving it charging you twice the amount quoted when the job is done. I have had a very bad experience today. The owner went to the extent of threatening me as well & not handing over the keys to the car.
Acacia Cove had a wonderful Race Night on Friday, 31st May.
The Jockeys and Jocketts were in top shape and as a result, their racing performance was remarkable. If I may add… Even their appearance has improved dramatically, some even looked about 60 years younger!

On 27th May, the bowlers from Possum Borne Village came to visit Acacia Cove. We kicked off the day with a nutritious morning tea, they had a delicious lunch and said their goodbyes over a cuppa during afternoon tea.
The weather was amazing, and the games were a pleasure to watch as the bowlers were all in top shape. Well done bowlers!

Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and impossible to fail Harvati quiche.
So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.
