OUR 2026 SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
Social Functions are an important part of our club's well being - It's great for our members to bond and enjoy themselves and it also helps us fund important projects to improve our club. We always aim to host events that will suit as many people as possible and highly encourage everyone to come along and support our club. We’re looking forward to a great 2026 season ahead!

When it comes to road safety, we're all on the same team.
Our club is proud to be a part of the TAC Club Rewards program again this year- An initiative that brings AFL Victoria clubs together to help make our roads safer and encourage positive driving habits within our communities.
​
By getting involved, we're not only supporting an important cause, but also giving our club the chance to earn valuable funding, rewards and prizes that can make a real difference.
​
This years focus is on speeding and the impact it has on road safety. Together, lets help spread the message and be a part of the change - Read and share our social media posts, take the survey we will share in due course, and most of all, be safe.

BUDDIES WEEK FOR OUR NETBALLERS
Round 9/ 11th & 13th of June our netballers celebrate buddies week at the club. Buddies week is a great opportunity to connect with players across our club, share netball knowledge and have fun with people we may not usually. We all trained together on the Thursday evening incorporating some fun, team/netball orientated games, and on game day we were matched up and cheered one another on in our games. It was such a great time for everyone, and definately bought the younger and older netballers together as one. Head over to our social media to see more of the week.
