If its this one - Square Payments.
No minimums per month and 1.9% rate as DirtyRed says - on all transactions including AMEX. Perfect for a club like ours that only operates a few months of the year though I am thinking about taking it up the pub to do Friday meat tray raffles for all those people who say "Aw mate I don't carry cash - what a shame!" *wink* *wink*
I'll get the bastards. Could be worth another $50 a week in raffle takings. Also comes in a version you can plug into your phone (though it doesn't work on all Android).
Does all chip cards that pay via contactless, but not EFTPOS like Savings/Cheque accounts.
Pfitzy, long time reader, 2nd time user .... The Square Payments / Reader works great, they also send reports the following day detailing amounts received etc.
BTW, please keep your chin-up, it is people like you that will keep our great game going, aim high good man and don't let the turkeys get you down.

My Treasurer is extremely impressed. Now if only the canteen staff would ring up the cash sales through it as well! 
Having an iPad handy to run it at canteen is good I must say. Would even consider purchasing a 4G version for the club to use in future so I can stop using my son's wifi model with a dongle nearby

Div 1
Petersham v Mosman- Petersham playing very good rugby should be too go for an inconsistent Mosman side
St Pats v Knox- Knox should win this in a tight one
Balmain v Waverley- Going to go with Balmain here, Waverley will be strong in lower grades not sure about 1s though
Colleagues v Drummoyne- Colleagues to knock off competition leaders this week
Div 2
UNSW v Mountains- Mountains should win this easy but travel factor is always something with them, few injuries as well to some key players
Lindfield v HAC- Interesting Game, Lower grades Lindfield will destroy HAC, 1st grade may be closer than people think depending on how they travel, will stick with HAC
Hills v HH- this will be a tight old tussle, Hills to squeeze out a win here at home
Forest v Beecroft- Forest should take this one out, don't see Beecroft travelling
Div 3
St Ives v Newport- St Ives to take this one, travel and injuries not helping Newport's cause
Redfield v Valley- Redfield to run around the much bigger valley side and take this one comfortably
Iggies v Barker- Should be a cracker im gunna go Iggies at home
Epping v Brothers- Be interesting too see if the mid season 1st grade resurgence will continue for brothers as they take on the red hot Epping side, cant see them knocking them off though to much class across the park

Div 4:
Sydney Irish v CANTERBURY - County Coogee might be a bit of a graveyard for the men in green tomorrow, with a firm artificial surface for Berries forwards to run rampant on. The personnel count for Irish will be down due to Lions tour I suspect.
Mac Uni v BLACKTOWN - a short trip up the M2 doesn't really mean "travel" for the orange horde. They'll do this fairly well I suspect
Briars v OATLEY - a couple of surprising losses to Oatley this year, they will be stinging for some payback.
SYDNEY HARLEQUINS v Rouse Hill (2nd Grade) - home side will be too good I think. Have no idea who is coming from my club at this stage, but President Pfitzy will be playing a lot of minutes come Saturday I suspect.

Hi I'm johnny Knoxville but that isn't my real name.
This is considered a play on words because I represent Knox, YEAH YEAH! Knox!
Been reading a while and I have a few issues or questions.
- why do people pour crap on the fence at Lane Cove? Isn't it nice for people to watch and feel at ease when a ground has a nice easy on the eye fence?
- what's with everyone constantly tapping about divisions 3-5? Especially silly 3? Like who cares? Div One is where it's at and where the talent happens. I'm actually shocked it doesn't get more coverage here. I have seen backs who canso 11 seconds flat in Div one.
Just to put my point in perspective,
My passion is the NRL and I often talk about the teams I'm most passionate about, the tigers and the raiders, with my friends, be it the pub or at my neighbours who has Bbqs on gameday. We talk about Brooks, Moses Suli, recruitment, Ricky Stuart, and sometimes talk about expansion into areas like Perth, central Coast, north shore or Wellington. It is always about FIrsT GRADE issues and we never talk about reserve grade except when a player returns from injury or something erratic happens.
Yet weirdly I come here and all I hear about is clubs with players who literally can't play? It's such a slap in the face to the teams who built something special

Johnny Knoxviile. What was the name again of the wooden dildo that Knox boys used to sodomise each other with at school?
Happy to hear about DIv 1. How are Knox looking across the grades?
In terms of league I think the NRL has a blog on all things mungo which you can post on about Ricky Stuart. Go the Eels!

why is it a problem to talk of division 3?
do you realise that every club in division 1 was once in the lower division. lower division rugby the ball is thrown aroudn more and very exciting and that is why lower division team always wins the suburban 7s rugby competition like blacktown and redfield
i think if the division 3-4 winners could easily beat the division 1-2 winners.

i think a better idea would be to have a suburban rugby multicultural world cup where players align with countries such as new zealand, paupa new guinea, samoa, tonga, india, ireland, england, fiji, italy and netherlands to make a sydney 7s world cup. this would see talent amongst division and also bring the countries and rugby together we could have 4 pools and play it over one weekend where no rugby is played or have rugby still played as rep players represent there countries like in super rugby. it would be played at unsw fields at david phillips.
Took a meander up to Beecroft last week and saw they had some Apple i-thingy (technical term for older blokes) for tapping cards. The payment then got confirmed on the guys phone. Looked like a cheap and easy solution to the ever encroaching cashless society. Can anybody else confirm they use this. Could probably help a lot of clubs out.
Oh yeah, some pretty good footy was played too
Can confirm 100% that we use the square reader at Beecroft, it's absolutely brilliant and has made life a lot easier with people constantly asking about card payments
Pretty unfortunate first grade result for us there, didn't help suffering 5 injuries, three of them season ending all within the first half of the game. Should bring about a interesting tail end of the season for us.
