Happy New Year and preparing for Sri Lanka

Good training session run by Father Christmas (Thommo with beard).

Don't forget to be at the airport by 8am on TUESDAY 5th JAN.
Touring party is to meet near the Qantas Departure gate.
Once everyone is checked in, we can watch Day 3 of the Sydney test (this year renamed to the "Final Day") from the Departure lounge. Look out for Coach Toth in the Noble Stand...

Have a fantastic time gents and coaches.
An amazing experience awaits you.

Departure Update

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and you are now sitting watching the Aussies smash the Windies in the Boxing Day test.
This is just a friendly update on our departure. I told Thommo that 7:30am was a bit early to arrive at the airport so we have agreed that we will meet at 8:00am in the Departure hall near the QANTAS check in.
Hopefully Thommo will let all the boys know at the training day on the 30th.
Enjoy your New Years celebrations

6 weeks to go.....

The team has been finalised.
The coaches are strategising.
The players are deciding how many jumpers they will be packing. Gents as a heads up, click on this link: Fairly Hot
There has been some fantastic work done by many behind the scenes to make the Barker College Tour of Sri Lanka in 2016 an event to remember.

The Ryan Carters "Batting For Change" XI vs the Barker First XI on Wed 11th Nov, raised some much needed funds that will go to great use at the Foundation of Goodness in Sri Lanka.

Thommo has been fixing some discarded bats to take with us.

If you want to look at what the Foundation of Goodness do, please click on the link.

More preparation information to come.
