These are running daily in a number of schools under the Sport

The Club has already benefited financially
and now the club has been offered significant reductions in our hire fees for the general club meetings. Thank you to Steph,
Dan and Roger for their efforts. Our junior members who attend the participating schools can also attend their after-school
clubs. Likewise those GNAS School club members can attend our DPA sessions.
