Pink Stumps Day - Kingaroy
South Burnett cricketers and everyone who'd like to help a worthy cause this weekend will be gathering at the Red Ants Football Grounds in Youngman Street (just next to the Kingaroy Cricket Club) from 8:30am onwards today to support the McGrath Foundation's Pink Stumps Day - an annual fundraiser that helps to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast awareness in young Australian women. Teams who want to play need to pay a $60 nomination fee and have at least two women in their ranks. There'll also be a $5 penalty for those who don't dress in this year's theme (which is "Pretty In Pink"). And while competing teams battle it out on the pitch. Spectators are also very welcome to watch the fun under cover at the clubhouse, take part in raffles and prize draws all day; chow down on meat and gravy rolls and sandwiches (which will be on sale); and try to grab a bargain at a great charity auction which will be held in the afternoon. The club is fully licensed and everyone is welcome! Note: This event was originally planned to be held last Sunday but had to be postponed at the last minute due to region-wide flooding and road closures. It was also originally planned to be held at the Cricket Club next door, but was relocated because the footy grounds are better suited to social cricket.
