AFL Goulburn Murray, in conjunction with the Geelong Cats, will host an official function at Sir Ian McLennan Centre in Mooroopna on Thursday 3 March as part of their AFL Australia Post Community Camp to be held in Shepparton and Echuca on 3 and 4 March.
Geelong Cats players will be in attendance at the dinner as the team prepares for the NAB Challenge clash against Essendon on Saturday 5 March. For local Geelong and football fans there will be no better opportunity to sit next to Geelong Cats stars whilst enjoying dinner, drinks, player interviews and other activities.
Geelong’s General Manager of Football Steve Hocking sees the AFL Australia Post Community Camp as an important part of the club’s pre season calendar.
“Geelong greatly values the opportunity to interact with our fans and we are looking forward to a busy and productive couple of days in Shepparton and Echuca” he said.
“Thursday night’s function will be a lot of fun with players distributed amongst the tables to sit with fans and interact in a social setting.”
“There will also be a raffle and some auctions on the night to help fund raise for the development of the game locally.”
“The club has many supporters in and around the Shepparton area and we encourage them to come along to the function and get involved in what will no doubt be a great event.”
AFL Goulburn Murray Football Development Manager Mark Lambourn is also busy working on the overall impact of the Camp.
“The function will be a highlight of the two day Community Camp but other activities include visits to community organisations such as GV Health, an open training session at Deakin Reserve Thursday afternoon and school visits in Shepparton on Thursday and Echuca on Friday.”
“Thursday night’s function will feature prizes, raffles and auctions on the night and not only will people have the chance to get up close to their favourite player but also to walk away with signed merchandise along the way.”
