New Nipper Members

A warm welcome to new Nipper members!

It’s great that you’d like to get involved in our Nippers programme. It is compulsory for at least ONE parent/carer to register as a General Member but much more fun if both parents/carers register!  Why?

  • You cannot assist in Nipper activities unless you are a member.
  • Sunday morning Nippers will be much for more fun for you and your kids if you’re helping out.
  • If you injure yourself at Nippers, you will be covered by insurance.
