I do the wickets at Duncan Fraser #1 & 2 (gepps cross), Gaza, Kilburn and LJ Lewis reserve (elders 1 day ground)

the other half of our wickets are down the port end, Riverside oval, EP Nazer (Port Adelaide CC), Rosewater oval and Port District.

Football ovals are basically everything from North Haven to Gaza. Few soccer ovals 2.

Glanville and Valley View Par 3's and Regency Park GC.

Yes, extremely sad to hear being in a similar industry, however I think you will find it had more to do with a major accounts manufacturing plant shutting down in the Riverland than any kill off by "multi nationals"

That explains why, when the truck pulls up to Rosewater, no-one gets out. He is so tired after doing your oval, he has to have a sleep.

I was refering to a multi national transport company that undercut Fletchers and took a number of their contracts.

You are right though, Berri Juices moving interstate was a big nail in the coffin for Fletchers but if they could have retained all of the transport contracts they may just have traded on even if the bulk of their work wasn't local anymore.

Yeah it does FC, TTG council is literally the other side of the fence, our council border takes in a few of the back streets behind the golf course and the 3 ovals behind it..

Just like the PAE council boundary goes around Alberton Oval. cant have another council looking after the sacred gound ;)

Fibreglass pipes have a guarenteed life of 150 years underground as opposed to the 50 years of concrete pipes. Very interesting stuff really.

EDIT; Best thing about my job is the hours. 5 weeks out of a 2 month block I work 12 hour days, 3 days a week. 3 weeks out of that 2 month block I work 12 hour days, 4 days a week. Once every 2 months we get an 8 day break.
There's plenty of jobs going there for people who are looking for a job and are in the Lonsdale area. You apply through Skilled Recruitment.


I work as a storeman for a company that supplies you guys your rolls of cardboard, plastic, etc...if i see an invoice that has Fibrelogic on it I know im gonna have to get all the heavy sh!t out :lol:
