Jane is a Thunderbird
Thunderbirds are go!
It’s time for me to pack my things, say goodbye to the lovely city of Newcastle and head back to my home state. I have had a wonderful time in Newcastle playing with the Hunter Jaegers, working at Sticky Advertising and meeting the great people within the area who made it feel like home from the very moment I moved here in January 2005.
But “you are a long time retired” and that in itself is one of the very reasons I have decided to strap the sneakers back on and try to break my way back into the netball scene. I have been fortunate enough to have been picked up by the Adelaide Thunderbirds for the 2009 season which kicks off in April/May; however I will be moving to Adelaide in mid November to start the crazy pre-season!
I have been in heavy training for the last few months trying to get my body back to some sort of fitness level before I get flogged at the first pre-season session. It has been good to get back to training for something again rather than force myself to run around the block because I know it’s good for me.
With all of this going on, please be rest assured that Babble will continue in the Hunter Region and is actually expanding to South Australia. Read my article Babble opens in Adelaide to see how Babble is spreading its wings.

I hope those peeps in Adelaide are treating well.
Good luck with the Adelaide Thunderbirds…I think they’ll win this season.
