As part of their ten year celebrations, the Wonthaggi United Soccer Club is holding a birthday party/fundraiser this Saturday night 6^th June from 8pm at the Caledonian Hotel in Wonthaggi.  The celebrations will include live band, lucky numbers, raffles, cake cutting and plenty of fun.  Local band Mere Mortals who have close ties to the Club are donating their services as we take this opportunity to commemorate a fantastic ten years of soccer in Wonthaggi.  The Club has had a huge year so far with its move to Rec Reserve 2 in the main sporting precinct enabling us to field two full size pitches to cater to all age divisions in the league from Mini-Roos right through to Reserves and Senior Men and Women.  With fantastic support from Wonthaggi Workmen’s Club we have also been able to purchase new uniforms for the entire Club.  Our old uniforms will be put to good use with plans underway to send them overseas where we hope they will be able to benefit particularly Junior teams in impoverished areas.

Our goal now is to raise the required funds to enable training lights at Rec Reserve 2 to be re-installed.  With great support from Bass Coast Shire Council and Wonthaggi Power the re-furbished lights will finally enable the Club to be able to train at proper capacity during winter.  To date we have been relying on borrowed portable lights kindly provided by Rotaret in Wonthaggi.  Together with the move to the new ground, the training lights will be a huge step forward for the Club and also a valuable community resource for the town.

We would like to invite all the community along to the Caledonian this Saturday night, in particular past and present Wonthaggi United Soccer Club members and the wider sporting community to help us celebrate.
