This year was extra special as we were there to try and raise some funds for the Devine Family.  ...  We dedicated this bus trip to Michelle who is our Queen of Shopping Bus Trips and had nicknamed our first one as the GBDO.  


The trip up was pretty quiet as people caught up on the gossip and prepared their battle plan for the day,  Before we knew it we arrived at Birkenhead Point and received our special &lsquo;b&rsquo; stickers &ndash; we assumed this was for Butchers of course and we hit the shops to make the most of our special &lsquo;butcher&rsquo; discounts. 


The rain did not dampen our spirits as we all headed to the Drummoyne Sailing club for lunch where the sun came out and made for an enjoyable rest.  ...  It was here we found out that Jacqui had completely blitzed all comers and won Man of the Match already!  

...Thank god we did as we had to empty out the bottom of the bus to fit in, yes you guessed it, all of Jacqui&rsquo;s furniture!!!!!    Thanks to the bus driver, a fork lift and some helpful Freedom guys, it was all stored safely underneath.  

...After drawing the lucky door prizes and busting open some bubbly, thanks to all our girls for digging deep and donating to our cause for some of Michelle&rsquo;s GBDO champagne and Best Bus Trip Songs Ever music CD&rsquo;s.    Unfortunately we had a Flinstone&rsquo;s bus with NO CD player in it to play our special CD&rsquo;s &ndash; great, but no-one seemed to mind.  


As darkness closed in and the laughter got louder we did have to make an emergency pit stop (not mentioning anyone&rsquo;s names) but Tracey and Charmaine found they were unable to contain their drinks adequately.  

...We arrived at the Ryans and were met by a fleet of trucks to take Jacqui&rsquo;s furniture home of course and some very helpful hubby&rsquo;s who were there to collect their wives.    Our President did attempt to capture some photographic evidence of our shopping excitement but was unable to drive the camera &ndash; he is now on the bench.  


Thanks heaps to Ruby&rsquo;s, Greens Northern Coaches, Our Bus Driver, Birkenhead Point, Toni Emery, Cathy Bailey and Ann Lackersteen and all the Girls who came along. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>11-2 v St Pius</title><dc:creator>juniors@thirroulbutchers.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>News</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-05-23T22:02:22+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.thirroulbutchers.com.au/files/may-2008#unique-entry-id-326</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thirroulbutchers.com.au/files/may-2008#unique-entry-id-326</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[11-2 Blues v St Pius

Thirlmere rewarded their 250th club registration and hosted the Butchers on up to three fields at a time.


&nbsp;


Many youngsters enjoyed their first game, which were played with excellent spirit, and high quality refereeing was a highlight throughout the day.


&nbsp;


This year the Thirroul club is concentrating on up-skilling and player development with the assistance of experienced senior coaching staff and Friday night saw its first coaching and management clinic which helped build a positive atmosphere in the club.


&nbsp;


The club nurtures its mini players from 6 years to 8 years old ensuring development and enjoyment is experienced by all, these teams had a great hitout against the roosters.   The butchers boast eight mod league teams (players from 9 to 12 years old) who go through a developmental stage, learning the rules and the skills and this was seen on the field with fine performances at Thirlmere.


...But it was our international players (13 years to 16 years) that really stood up.   The huge Thirlmere club boasted some 20 plus players in each of these age divisions, but it was the Butchers who illustrated the skills and commitment necessary to play the game in the right esteem.   Perhaps the most pleasing results were from our Under 14&rsquo;s and 15&rsquo;s teams, who played short of players but outclassed and outplayed a larger pack.


...Thirroul JRLC welcomes all players and would especially like to see more Under 14&rsquo;s and 15&rsquo;s join our club.

The initiative aims to develop the Butchers&rsquo; juniors into skilled grade players.   It will provide the senior club with a high standard of player coming into under 18s and boost junior coaching staff to a new level.   Thirroul&rsquo;s seniors hope to maintain this relationship with the juniors to make the transition into grade easier.


The Butchers are the only Carlton League side from Helensburgh to Corrimal and have a strong junior base.


&ldquo;The idea has been initiated by us and is part of an overall strategy to build a successful club supported by the local community and sponsors,&rdquo; Butchers first grade coach Phil Ostwald said.


&ldquo;Another way of building our relationship with the juniors will be that senior players will attend junior coaching sessions and games.&rdquo;


The Thirroul Butchers&rsquo; under 15 and under 16 sides launched their 2008 season with a barbeque at Ruby&rsquo;s on Bulli Beach recently.   Thirroul junior and former Dragons and Wests player Ryan Powell will coach the under 15s.   He will be assisted by another former Dragon and Magpie, Aaron Beath and ex-Helensburgh Tiger Derek Short.   Former Steeler and Thirroul junior, Brett Jones, will also join the coaching staff when his Illawarra representative coaching duties are complete.   These grade players will be leading the boys into the next phase of their games and the response has been overwhelming.   The skills they bring to the team will definitely make them a force to be reckoned with on the footy field.   Aaron and Ryan extend an invitation to all prospective under 15's players to come along and join the team.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
