What’s On?
We bring all the festive cheer this week Sharks Family as we have a very special visit from Santa’s elves and the Grinch! Sing your heart away to some good old Christmas classics from our resident musical performers and pick up some drinks and food just before the game.
The Sharks will be arriving by the main reception from 11:25am so make sure you’re there to give them a Sharks Family welcome as we roll out the blue carpet.
Don’t miss the chance to catch Cliffy chat with local lads Sam Dugdale and Rouban Birch in the Sharquee at 12:20pm. Finally, at the Ruck Truck this week we have a couple of #YourSharks from 12pm-12:30pm.
