NEWSLETTER & NEW APP!

This is the new way we will provide information in "newsletter" form. I am delighted and excited that we have been able to find a way to make communication work better and integrate it with our website so everything is in a convenient location. We know we have issues with polling and this will continue to be something we look at, test and establish a new way of organising season teams every week.

We have had a lot going on in 'Spectres Land' over the last month. We had our strategy day (committee) which saw some great planning and actions for the remainder 2022 & start of 2023. We held our Awards night! Congratulations to all the winners, all very well deserved!

We have so many exciting things coming up such as our first ever Spectres Tournament, November Pride Events (We are Marching Again and will need volunteers for Fair Day!). Mark F will be setting up the Pride March Committee, so if you want to be involved, hit him up! So much to look forward to, more announcements to come!

New Seasons at Bendat commencing soon

It’s hard to believe, but there’s only two more rounds of the regular season left at Bendat before the finals commence. It seems like only yesterday the first round kicked off, but the shorter seasons at Bendat mean they come around fast!

At this stage neither of the Spectres teams playing at Bendat (Magenta and Ultra Violet) are likely to make the finals, so there will probably be a two week break during finals until the Spring Season commences on the week of August 8.

To get prepared for both Bendat and the next Loftus season we are opening up registrations now.

EVERY MONTH WE WILL FEATURE USEFUL COMMUNITY INFORMATION

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS RAINBOW GROUP We all love a drink, but in the queer community a lot of us can use alcohol as a coping mechanism. Alcoholics Anonymous Rainbow Group meet every Tuesday 7pm in the hall next to St Luke’s Church, cnr George and Rowland Sts, Maylands. For more information for yourself or anyone you may know struggling visit www.aaperthwa.org

BI+ COMMUNITY PERTH

Bi+ Community is a safe place for people who are not gay or straight (they use the term ‘bisexual’ as an umbrella term for that) to engage in discussion, connect with people, and form community online. There are also regular opportunities to connect in person, including events for Bi Visibility Day (23/9) and the Pride Parade.
