Last weekend, the OFCFNC hosted Yarra Glen FNC, on what was a very significant day.
NETBALL COURT OPENING
The official opening by the Hon.Mr.James Merlino MP, of our new netball court took place. The ceremony took place at the conclusion of both matches, perfect timing given the excellent win by the A Grade side. With many dignitaries in attendance, it was a fantastic function and once again, provided terrifc exposure to the work of the HillTop Recreation Association. HillTop President, Steve Scott, and OFCFNC President, Peter Hayne, were very generous in their praise of all our HillTop volunteers and also, the brilliant relationship thats been established with the Shire Of Yarra Ranges.
We now have a fantastic facility, located right beside the ground, and as Mr.Merlino spoke of, we now have a viewing precinct for football and netball that is the envy of all Victorian football Netball clubs.
LIFE MEMBERS DAY
The other part of the day, and no-less important, was our annual Life Members function. The OFCFNC has 35 living Life Members and we are constantly in contact with them. Most are living fairly locally but we do have a number of interstaters as well.
It would be remiss of me not to mention Arthur "Choofa" Charteris, who this year, celebrates his 50th year as a OFCFNC Life Member. Remember, it takes at least 10-15 years of constant committee service to achieve Life Membership, so it infact is "Choofa's" approxiamtely 60th plus year with the club, unbelievable ! As always, he was in the time keepers box for the day but it gave me great pleasure to take him over some sandwiches, hot food and a beer ! As for the beer, I mentioned to him that if he wanted another one, just blow the siren. I counted another 5 !!!
All in all, another terrific function and a very special thanks to all our OFCFNC Life Members who've given so much of their own time to make our club such a wonderful place to be a part of.
