Penny first joined Raiders over 20 years ago and has been involved in the club in many ways; playing, umpiring and various roles on the committee. The multiple end of year events for all age groups at Raiders are not to be missed! From our littlest players having a super fun games night and bbq or pizza at their final training session to our older players dancing the night away. This all takes a huge amount of time and effort to coordinate and organise each year.
