BUMPER EDITION

QUIZ N IGHT

The club is running a Quiz night on Friday

19th August and will also be playing the

Eagles vs Hawthorn on the big screen.

We are looking for your support with this event

so the club can finish strongly with its

fundraising activities this year. Its a great

chance to have a cheap night out with the

bar being open and alcohol served at cheap

club prices. The game will be playing and we

will have a variety of activities at quarter, half

and three quarter time with the quiz starting in

earnest at the completion of the game.

The night is close to SOLD OUT so reserve your

tickets soon as there will not be tickets at the

door.

L INCOLNS LAST BASH

For those that don’t know the Quiz Night will

also be the last social function with Lincoln

Rollo as President as he will be stepping down

at the end of this season after 5 years.

It would be great for everyone including those

past parents and friends to get to the Quiz and

Friday Footy night as by all accounts the

Canham Eatery Roast whilst great will pale into

significance next to the roast that Lincoln is

going to get.

YR 7 KAMBA LDA TR IP

WGJFC 4 5 29 def Kambalda 3 0 18

For those that don’t know WGJFC and Kambalda

Football Club have an annual Yr 7 exchange that

alternates between the city and country now

into its 43rd year.

2016 was our teams turn to travel to Kalgoorlie

and Kambalda during the July school holidays

and what a memorable experience it was. The

boys had an amazing time and a win against

Kambalda.

The players all got to bond and know each other

off the field. We visited the super pit, where it was

super cold, learnt about Kalgoorlie in the

Goldfields museum.

At camp the players spent countless hours

playing table tennis, air hockey and foosball.

Late nights, very cold mornings and they even

did the dishes and cleaned up (sort of) after

themselves.

We would like to thank Shaye for pulling it

together, Andrew our bus driver and the

supervising parents and Jarrod as coach.

Thank you WGJFC for allowing us to have this

experience and to Kambalda Footy Club for

hosting the event and being so friendly.

D I S TR ICT DREAMING

ROUND

We celebrated District Dreaming round on

the 26th June at Ellersdale whilst the district

also ran some celebrations over at Barry

Britton oval in Balga.

District Dreaming (formally District

Dreamtime) is a celebration of Indigenous

Culture, and an acknowledgement of the

contributions from both Aboriginal and non-

Aboriginal Australians to our great game of

Australian Rules football.

It is also an opportunity to continue

reinforcement of positive game

environments, provide a history of Aboriginal

culture, and an opportunity to integrate the

community through football.

Before each game the Australian and

Indigenous flag were taken out to the middle

of the ground and the President read out an

Acknowledgment of Country with all players,

coaches and umpires present. It was well

received and plenty of parents were taking

pictures.

SIREN

And the siren sounds. For the first time in the clubs

history the siren is now sounding. The mobile siren

Penistone.

The siren is operated from the canteen, and will

add to the game like atmosphere for all home

games.

YR 11 MELBOURNE TR IP

During the July school holidays the Year

11 team travelled over to Melbourne on

the annual WGJFC Year 11 Melbourne

Trip.

Most of the team attended with 9 parents

in tow. They attended two games at the

MCG and a few tours with the high light

the tour of the Collingwood Holden

into the going ons of an AFL club.

Plenty of shopping was done with some

peculiar purchases made!

Thanks to all the parents who attended

for ensuring the boys were safe and able

to enjoy a great trip with loads of

memories.

E L LERSDA LE RENOVAT ION S

As some of you may or may not be aware, the

club is working with both the local and federal

governments in order to receive a grant for

some upgrades to the clubrooms.

The rooms haven't been upgraded for a very

long time and both the storage space and the

change rooms are showing their age and lack

of capacity. There is also a proposal for the

upgrade of the kitchen area.

The proposed renovations will be benefit both

players and members in the long run so please

get behind all club fund raisers such as sausage

sizzles, the quiz and by purchasing the clubs

famous Billy Burger (Bacon, egg and cheese) as

the fundraising from these activities all assist in

raising the much needed money to make

something like this happen.

The club are hoping to conduct these works

before the start of next season.

AND REA M I TCHELL MLC

on-going support of our club. Andrea has

PRES IDENTS F INAL WORD

It’s hard to believe we are in the final month of the

regular season! What a season it’s been with some

good and bad results but loads of positivity around

the place.

We currently have 4 teams in the top 4 and have

our fingers crossed a few will make it into finals.

Good luck also to the Mods players and Auskick

players on finishing the season on a high.

This column is likely to be my last as I am stepping

down from the Presidents role at the end of the

season. It was a hard decision to make as the club

has been such a big part of my life for the last 5

years I have filled the role. However it’s the right

time to hand over the reins of the club to a new

President with fresh ideas and loads of enthusiasm.

PRES IDENTS F INAL WORD

(CONT)

I believe I leave the club in a solid position

moving forward and this is in no small part

because of the effort of the Committees I

have sat on over the last 5 years.

We have achieved many things over the

journey but the highlights for me personally

are our club achieving Gold Status within

the Quality Clubs Program being one of

only 29 clubs across Australia. I also will

never forget the feeling when our club won

Champion Club of the Year 2 years in a row

which had never been done before by any

club in our District.

However the thing I will be really proud of

when I'm finished is to have improved

player safety and ensured a higher

importance is put on player development

which extends to every player at our club.

So in ending I want to thank all the

Committee members I have served with, all

the Coaches and Managers I have worked

with and all the other volunteers around the

club that have made it what it is today. I

also want to thank and acknowledge my

family for the sacrifices they have made to

allow me the time to devote to the Football

club.

Lastly I want to thank and wish all the best

to the players both past and present, good

luck to you all.

See you around the tracks and as always

Go the Knights!!
