FINACT T20 Quarter & Semi Finals on March 3 at Deakin Ovals

We got the ground locations amended so that we can have two grounds next to each other for Quarter finals and Semi finals. It would be easier to organise and manage all 6 matches on 3rd March 2013.

It is our earnest request to Captains that they cooperate with organisers and make sure that the matches start and finish on time to accommodate other games that follow.

Hope you will understand the situation and enjoy the remaining part of the tournament sportingly.

Home Project: Canberra Centenary Celebrations on March 11

The HOME project brings people from diverse backgrounds together to celebrate the diversity and depth of Canberra’s culture while honoring the meaning and importance of HOME.

FINACT and several of its member associations are portraying “Unity in Diversity”, a concept that is dear and common to India and multicultural Canberra (the two places we call HOME).

We have chosen a peacock, the national bird of India, painted it in the tri colours of the Indian flag and written ‘Unity in Diversity’ in several Indian languages on the feathers.

It is a huge peacock covering about 2 meters..
