Fencing goes up at Bridge Street on Tuesday 1 September. It is the first step in the ground redevelopment, and it means we lose access to the field for quite some time.
What that means right now
- U12s Grand Final training moves to Eltham High this week.
- Tim is asking whether other sessions can run there too, including the Bendigo 7s squads.
- Off season training and touch will need a new home. We are actively looking at options and will let you know as soon as arrangements are confirmed.
The clubrooms stay open. Saturday’s Presentation Night is going ahead as planned.
How we got here
This one has been a long time coming. It has taken years of persistent advocacy from our committee, and it is backed by the fundraising this club does year after year. Eltham has committed $50,000 of our own money to the work.
A sincere thank you to Nillumbik Shire Council for their support in finally getting us across the line. For a small volunteer run club, this is a genuine milestone.
There is no pretending the next few months will be convenient. But this is the work that gives our juniors and seniors a proper surface to play on, after a season of shifting home games to other clubs.
We are not going into hibernation. We will keep finding ways to train and stay connected over the summer, and we will share those as they come together. Keep an eye on your team WhatsApp group while things settle.
Thanks for your patience. 🖤💛
