“We are expecting 3500 visitors to Goulburn with 120 primary school teams attending,” Seaman said.
“We were very grateful for the Soldiers Club to come on board. It gives the students an opportunity to meet students from different schools and dioceses and build that Catholic school spirit.”
Broadbent added that it was pleasing to see both SS Peter and Paul primary school and St Joseph’s primary school come together for this project and ensure its smooth success.
“We want to make sure all of the visitors have a warm and welcoming stay in Goulburn”.
General Manager of the Goulburn Soldiers Club Toni Mitchell said the Soldiers Club supported the basketball challenge in the past and is happy that this will continue for the championships in November.
