MANDURAH MUSTANGS ARE GO! February saw the launch o f t h e M a n d u r a h Mustangs Integrated Football Team. The Mustangs have joined the WA Amateur Football L e a g u e ’ s ( W A A F L ) integrated competition. This competition offers our clients the chance to play competitive football, with games made up of 15 minute quarters and played each weekend.

The integrated team is a mixed gender side for players 16 years and above. The response has been overwhelming, with a very successful sign up day and Derby Match with Warnbro already under their belt.

They would love to see you at a game. Go Mustangs!

Keeping up with Craig at 470 Mulga!

Besides keeping things ship shape at 470 Mulga, Craig has been creating beautiful woodwork centrepieces. Craig’s vision is to soon have enough pieces to set up a stall and sell at the Mandurah Markets.

CONGRATULATIONS ELIZABETH!

Congratulations to Elizabeth on her recent Graduation with Activ. Elizabeth accepted her Certificate 1 in English in Perth. Dressed to the nines and ready to impress. Elizabeth was a bit nervous about accepting her Certificate and said she could not have done it without Rhiannon’s support on the night. Elizabeth is very proud of her achievement as she worked very hard for six months to complete it. We are so proud of you Lizzie!
