North Sydney Pickup

Where is it?

Just north of North Sydney Oval in St. Leonards Park. Usually they manage to get first dibs on the "music shell" field which is beside Miller St.

When do they play?

Thursdays, warmup at around 12:30, game start around 12:40, finish when not enough people remaining (usually around 13:25). Many of the people that play are workers from the nearby offices but there are also some eager schoolkids that turn up.

How hard is the game?

Casual but still some hard running. Everyone is welcome and beginners are given lots of encouragement.

How do I get there?

Buses or trains to North Sydney will get you close.

Who can I contact to confirm that it's on?

The main contact is Graham who can also be reached by phone on 0416-070360. A decision about playing is made at 11:00 so if you let Graham know a bit earlier that you want to play he'll then let you know if the numbers are enough for a game.

Anything else I should know?

Depending on what the local schools are doing the preferred field may not be available in which case have a look up towards the east (freeway) and you'll probably see the game happening on a patch of ground up there.

They have an email list that sends reminders out each Wednesday. You can join that list by sending a blank email to north-sydney-pickup-subscribe [at] yahoogroups [dot] com
