After the success of the Junior Club Round in 2008 that was highlighted by celebrating 150 years of Australian Football, the Vodafone Brisbane Lions would again like to invite your junior club to attend the Brisbane Lions v Melbourne game at the Gabba on Saturday 27 June 2009. We would like to continue to recognise the relationship between junior clubs and the Vodafone Brisbane Lions through the Adopt a Junior Club program.
To recognise your club and the efforts of those involved at all levels we would like to offer the following to you:
1. All registered junior players receive a free of charge ticket with a full paying adult. Adult and concession tickets are available for parents, relatives and friends of the junior players for a flat rate of $30. Seating will be allocated in Categories 1 and 2- that is a saving of up to $27 per ticket. Attached you will find an order form you can use to order tickets as a club or to distribute to Club players. Please see below for more information on how we can help your Club sell tickets.
2. The Club that sells the most tickets outright and the Club that sells the most tickets as a percentage of their registered players will receive a 9 seater corporate box at the Brisbane Lions V North Melbourne game to be used at your discretion e.g. raffle, take sponsors, reward volunteers etc.
3. Each Club is invited to participate in a competition to win a place in a pre game relay race during the pre match entertainment at the Lions V Melbourne game. Clubs need to design a small banner and the Clubs with the best banners will be invited to nominate 8 players to participate in the relay race. The winning Clubs will need to make the banner they designed and hold it up as the finish line of the relay race. The Club that wins the relay race will receive a 2009 signed football and each team member will receive a ball signed by the leadership group. All runners up Clubs will also receive a prize. To enter this competition please send your banner design via email to sbrady@lions.com.au, fax to 07 3217 4905 or mail to BLAFC, PO Box 1535, Coorparoo DC QLD 4151 by Friday 19 June 2009. You will be notified by close of business Monday 22 June if you are successful.
Assistance with selling tickets
You will receive flyers by post that you can use to hand out around your Club as well as order forms for distribution. You have an option to book tickets as a group through the Brisbane Lions using the enclosed order form or instruct your Club members to book directly through Ticketek. When players are booking directly through Ticketek please ensure you encourage them to quote their Club name so they are added to your tally to go towards winning one of the two corporate boxes up for grabs.
We would also like to showcase the great contribution your club makes to the game of AFL. Please also email a high resolution JPEG photo of your clubs junior teams if you have any of these available to assist with our presentation to sbrady@lions.com.au
If you have any questions regarding any of the above opportunities please contact Sarah Brady from our membership department on 07 3335 1789.
We thank you for your involvement in the Vodafone Brisbane Lions Adopt a Junior Club Program and look forward to seeing you when the Lions take on Melbourne.
