🏕️ OLD BOYS CAMP 2026 – IMPORTANT UPDATE! 🏕️

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has had other plans for us this weekend! 🌧️

We've been informed by the campgrounds that due to the recent weather conditions, the campgrounds are unable to be accessed. This means Old Boys Camp 2026 will sadly not be going ahead as planned.

We know how much everyone was looking forward to the weekend, and we're just as disappointed!

💙❤️ ATTN: FAMILIES WHO HAVE PAID

Please email [email protected] to arrange a refund.
OR
Alternatively, you can choose to carry your booking over to Old Boys Camp 2027, securing your spot for next year!

🍖🔥 BUT WAIT… THE WEEKEND ISN'T A COMPLETE WRITE-OFF!

We've already done the food shopping, and there's no way we're letting all that delicious food go to waste!

So we're bringing the Old Boys Camp spirit back home to the Hornets!

THIS SATURDAY, we're firing up the ovens at Pine Central Sports Club for ONE BIG COOK-UP! Come on down and join us from Midday! 🍽️

We're talking plenty of delicious roasts, yummy treats and a chance to get everyone together for a great feed, a few laughs and some good old-fashioned Hornets family time!

🏉 The Rugby League World Cup will also be LIVE on the big screen!

We'd love to see our Old Boys Camp families come down, enjoy some food and make the most of the weekend together!

While we might not be camping under the stars this year, nothing stops the Hornets family from getting together! ❤️💙

📣 OLD BOYS CAMP UPDATE! 🏕️🐝

To everyone booked in for Old Boys Camp this weekend, we want to reassure you that CAMP IS STILL GOING AHEAD AS PLANNED! 🙌

Despite the recent wet weather, the campgrounds have received very little rain over the past few days, and we're hopeful it stays that way for the remainder of the week! 🤞☀️

So keep packing, get your camping gear ready and prepare for a great weekend!

As always, we encourage everyone to come prepared for changing weather conditions, just in case Mother Nature has other plans!

Our Old Boys are looking forward to welcoming everyone for a fantastic weekend of camping, fishing, footy and plenty of laughs!

We can't wait to see you all there! 🏕️🎣🏉
