Tours

Since 1967 there had been an intraclub arrangement between the Como West and Mt Gravatt clubs that the top under 13 team, usually 13As, would tour annually between the two clubs. The first such team was organised by Col Henricks, assisted by Cleve Page, and was the only team to travel by train to Queensland. Following tours involved plane travel. This of course increased the cost considerably. Fundraising had become more difficult, and the cost of touring had become quite prohibitive for the parents and so the 1976, 13A team, became the last Como West team to become involved in such tours. The reciprocal agreement between the clubs was cancelled in 1977.

A weekend visit to Cessnock had been undertaken by 6 club teams, and organised by Harold Jackson, also in 1967. Arrangements were also made for a reciprocal visit in 1968. However later entries do not indicate progress or otherwise of these tours, only of "Tours Organiser Report Received".! Therefore period of such tours is unknown.
