Seems we've finally hit the big time! Our lives will never be the same again. We'll be unable to walk down the street without being mobbed by crazed fans!!
This short Time Out NYarticle ran the week before our tournament.
The New York Post wisely decided to run an article on sports in Manhattan and featured netball (and more importantly MINC) in the report. The article ran on Saturday June 26th and as soon as I scan it you'll be able to see it here!
The Australian Consulate has also realised just how newsworthy we are, and has published an article about us in their monthly newsletter. Thanks to Aussie Bec Smith for the "in" on that one! Click here for the article.

MINC News
MINC T-Shirts
To get your T-shirt, essential for travel and generally being a cool dude, email Juliet Walker and let her know what style and size you'd like. See the merchandise page for more details, and more gorgeous MINC items with which to impress your friends.
Start packing your MINC shirt when you travel for business or pleasure and snap away at some recognisable monument or location and send the resulting (digital) graphic to Tess and she'll add it to the photo board of exotic places that the Straphanger has visited, courtesy of our chests! Check out the story so far by clicking here.

Quiz Master - Richard Hart
Welcome Edward Digger Savage
CONGRATULATIONS to MINC Alum Pippa and hubby Stan on the arrival of Eddie. He made his appearance on April 25, weighing in at 6:12. Mum, Digger & Stan are all doing well and we wish them all of the best. We look forward to meeting the handsome guy.
Rather than enjoy their usual Saturday morning sleep-ins, these hardy MINCers travelled to the Hope Gardens Community Centre in Brooklyn to paint walls, weed gardens, make line games and clean out closets. Thanks to Nicky, Matt, Dre, Drinky, Della,
Katherine, Andy, Kate, Beverley, Jenny, Ross, Diana and Ros for their hard work. To see them in action click here (and turn up the volume on your computer!)
Pub Quiz at The Australian
We recently celebrated the start of our social season with a very successful Pub Quiz one lazy Sunday afternoon, which turned out to be all but lazy! Check out our Social Events for more on how Richard took us through our paces and for some celebrity photos. A big thank you to Richard for running such a great show and to our sponsors on the day... The Longboat Key Club, The Australian, NFT, & Wine Australia. Thanks to all MINC members, past & present for participating and donating. Turns out we have some smart jocks, who knew?!
Recently we were approached by Dan Macht who is a student studying journalism at the City University, New York's Graduate School of Journalism. He tells a good story of why we continue to play this game so far away from our homes and why we have Netball passion! Dan spent a couple of evenings at our training sessions and then followed us to our first NYC tournament of the season. Read here for more on "our" story... Thanks to Dan for taking an interest.
