25 rounds completed and one game to go in the regular season of the 2024 Knock-On Effect NSW Cup. And it's going to be a great one! We kick off the day bright and early with local junior league grand final games starting from 9am and ending at 5pm with an A-Grade grand final between Asquith Magpies v Narraweena Hawks. Following at 7.30pm with Bears v Knights and under lights. To top off an epic day of footy, it's also Members Round. This is the time of year we get to say a big thank you to everyone who backed the Bears in 2024 and took up a membership. Members are the lifeblood of our club, and your ongoing support is truly appreciated. Come on down, help the team get the win and enjoy the last home game of the season at Bear Park.

Our last home game of the season is fast approaching, and we are excited to be playing under lights for Saturday Night Footy! We kick off the day nice and early with local Junior League Grand Finals for ages U11s and up. Come cheer on the junior Bears in the making and watch some great grassroots footy at iconic North Sydney Oval. In the evening, Bears take on the Newcastle Knights for our last home game for 2024 and the last game of the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup regular season before finals begin. And to make it even more special, it is our annual Members Round! A time when we get to say a big thank you to everyone who backed the Bears in 2024 and show our appreciation for your ongoing support. We will have a string of local craft beer tents on the hill and special bar seating set up around the fence line for ultimate Saturday night footy viewing. Check out all the fun activities we have planned below >>

This development has fast tracked the possible inclusion of an additional team in the national league and speculation amongst media, fans and key stakeholders is once again a buzz. The Bears can confirm that our Chairman and CEO met with Peter V'Landys, Chairman of the ARL Commission, regarding the Bears proposal for readmission in the NRL.

The North Sydney Bears would like to dedicate our 2024 Indigenous Round, to be held on Sunday 26th May 2024, to those who resided on this land 6,000 years ago, land that is now North Sydney Oval. To those indigenous men, women, boys and girls who have proudly represented the Red and Black, to our local ancestors the Cammeraygal people and to the land on which we play, on this day we acknowledge them.

Our current board ran unopposed at the Annual General Meeting held on Tuesday 26th March 2024 at Norths in Cammeray. All seven directors were deemed eligible and therefore elected to comprise the club's board for the next three years. Congratulations to the elected directors Daniel Dickson (Chairman), Peter McGrath (Vice Chair), Marty Lawson, Justin Owen, Billy Moore, Michael Chetner and Guy Gunasekera. The motion to appoint Tony Crawford as a Sponsor Director was also successful and we welcome Tony to the board also for the next three year. The director positions on the board are all voluntary and unpaid.

In the final days of summer on a beautiful warm night at The Greens North Sydney, we brought together our corporate partners, sponsors, members, staff and senior playing group to celebrate the launch of the North Sydney Bears 2024 Knock-On Effect NSW Cup season. Guests sipped on chilled Bear Park Brews and Grizzly Gin-gers, featuring our very own Bear Park Gin, consumed delicious morsels of bao buns, sliders, arancini balls and gourmet sausage rolls and reveled in the feeling that only the anticipation of a new season brings. With one week until comp kick off to go, pre-season is almost done, trial games successfully completed and now the big job of tackling the next 26 rounds begins.
