Hi Everyone,

This information regarding the batting Cages was passed on to me from Murray Cumming.

“Anybody interested in keeping their batting eye sharp over the winter should think of getting a group together.
The Absolute Baseball Academy at McMahon stadium is once again giving our members a break on the price of the batting cages ( half price), during weekday afternoons.
The deal is that we can use the slopitch batting cages (2) for $10.50 for an hour from Noon – 4pm Monday to Friday. If no paying customers need the cages then we can continue as long as no-one else (full paying) wants it. Nov. thru March are usually quiet though. Generally school holidays are out because it gets busy.
I have a couple of interested people for Mondays at noon and more are welcome.
Unfortunately the deal isn’t for working people after 5pm, but I’m working on it.”

Thanks for that information Murray. It is very much appreciated.

Cheers Everyone,

Paul M
