On very short notice, Camberwell Lacrosse Club mounted a modest but informative stand at the Ashburton Street Festival on Sunday 22 February. Lacking any significant signage, our members provided some colour and movement by displaying some basic lacrosse skills. We handed out lots of information brochures on lacrosse and about Camberwell Lacrosse Club.

Once again, thank you to all our members who helped to run the stand on the day.
