Fundraiser for junior rugby league

Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club will hold a "Legends of League" fundraiser in late May.

Club president Mr Mathew Harvey said the event was being held to raise money for items such as jumpers, training equipment and gear.

"Umina Junior Rugby League Football Club continues to grow in numbers," Mr Harvey said.

"We have increased our numbers from 194 last year to 230 boys and one girl for this season.

"With the growing numbers comes more strain on raising funds.".

"We are also still trying to attract sponsors for the 2005 season," Mr Harvey said.

"It has become increasingly harder each year to attract sponsors to support our teams. "We have packages starting from $400."

The fundraiser will be held on May 21 at Umina Beach Bowling Club.

The event will start at 7pm with special guests including football greats Brett Kenny from Parramatta, Royce Simmons from Penrith and comedian Ray Seager.

Only 250 tickets will be sold at $50 a person or $360 for a table of eight.

Ticket includes meal, beer, wine, soft drink and entertainment.
