Message From NDSFA re Glass Bottles & Alcohol Consumption

• There are no glass bottles allowed on any field in the Nepean District.  All councils have a ban on glass bottles at playing fields.
• There is to be no consumption of alcohol, at all, at grounds that have a total ban.  If approached by a club official to pack up the esky, please do so without backchat.  Officials are all volunteers who give up their time freely to serve your community and make it a better place.  They don’t deserve smart mouthed drunks giving them a hard time. 
• At all other fields, there is a 10m rule.  No consumption of alcohol within 10m of a playing field.  Some clubs have designated areas.  If members are directed to a designated area, they should oblige the request made of them without fuss or argument.

Specialised Goal Keeper Coaching is available on Monday nights between 5 and 7pm at Hunter Fields. There is a nominal fee (EPFC subsidised) involved and coaching is conducted by experienced Senior Level Keepers. For more information, please give James Warwick a call.
