OUR 2026 SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
Get these dates into your diary - 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!

Retro Night: Last year was such a hit that we'd love to do it again. It's a nostalgic night that you don't want to miss! Join our current playing groups in a little catwalk rocking your old playing kit, a light training and a whole bunch of laughs. Meet everyone at the social rooms (Because photographing it all is a must!) before the coaches help you stretch out your limber bodies and join in on the Thursday night training fun. So dust off your kits and we'll see you on Thursday the 30th of May from 6pm. Make sure you spread the word and let your old team mates know. And don't forget the bar will be open and dinners in the rooms will be available... Just like the good ol days.
We can't wait to see you there!
Past Players Day: Our 2026 Past Players Day is coming up on Saturday the 2nd of May as we take on Tarwin at home. We'd love to see all of our past players back at the club- Come down, catch up, share a few laughs and relive the good times. From 12pm onwards.
We are also very excited to have Guest Player & Ex AFL Star Dyson Heppell come out and play with us!
Make sure you lock this date in and bring the crew out to Meeniyan to make a day of it!

WE ARE ON THE HUNT FOR OLD BATTERIES!
As part of an MDUFNC Fundraiser we're collecting any old batteries lying around your home or workplace, and trading them in to raise funds for the club.
If you're able to help please either drop them into Kurt at Dumbalk Ag Warehouse, or get in contact with us (You can ask any of our committee members, Liam Bourke or comment on our social media post) to arrange a pickup - We would be incredibly grateful.
All proceeds go directly towards future club projects to help improve our facilities and support our players.
PLEASE SLOW DOWN.
Just a small reminder when driving in the Meeniyan Rec Reserve on training and game days, please slow down.
There are children and animals in the area, and your care helps keep everyone safe.
Thank you.
WE DESPERATELY NEED NETBALL

Whether you are new to umpiring and keen to learn, looking to further develop your skills or you are an experienced umpire, we would love to hear from you. Training and support will be provided. If you’re interested in becoming involved, please get in touch with us, or Kate Lafferty.
