Rangers RAP – 05/04/2024

April 5, 2024

We know it is FOOTBALL & NETBALL season because we have rain!

Unfortunately many matches will be called off due to ground closures so please make sure you keep up to date with messages from the Club, your team managers and the Associations…and make sure SAFETY comes first when making decisions about travelling to and from matches and whether or not to play even if a ground is open.

Regardless of the number of matches that get called off, we will be celebrating the start of the season in true RANGERS STTYLE at the Great Northern Hotel. From 12:30pm until close…Rangers will have the fireplace area all to ourselves. You won’t be able to miss it as it will be dressed in Rangers Blue & White. Come along and enjoy some social time with your team mates, meet other teams and even some of the life members of our amazing Club. The Great Northern has offered a Rangers Pizza Deal with all pizzas priced at just $15 as long as you register for a loyalty card (normally $10 but free for Rangers members). There will also be raffles, competitions and lots of fun…so make the effort to get along and brighten up this gloomy weekend!

If you are coming as a team…feel free to book a table to ensure you have enough seats.

uniforms

There has been a flurry of purchasing from the Rangers Shop to get socks, shorts and shirts ready for the start of the season. Hoodies and Jackets are also moving fast and won't be restocked soon so get in quick if you need something. To kick off the season we have some new items and some sales!

GRIP SOCKS & CUT-OFF SOCKS Some players have requested 'Grip Socks' so we are trialling these items to see what response we get. There is very limited stock available right now - and they are on SALE!

If they prove to be popular we will get more stock. SALE ITEMS Apart from the Grip and Cut-off socks, we also have Caps and Backpacks on sale at the moment - grab them while they last!

And don't worry...the cap is not as big as the backpack!!
