What an exciting, but freezing night up at Hill end on Friday night. Some amazingly talented people putting their work on display. Pop in over the weekend and enjoy some of these award winning artists in our own backyard

Official opening of the Dowton Park rooms at Yarragon today. Almost a $4mil investment into regional sport facilities. Exciting day with a great presentation from Harriet and an emotional one from the President of Dowton Park.

I spoke about remembering the past and all those who contributed to the building and maintenance of the old rooms. A new chapter starts in Yarragon with an incredible Sports precedent now complete.

Looking forward to getting down to Panther land tomorrow and hope to see a lot of old team mates and supporters there for the official opening.

We are delighted to bring together esteemed champions, committed volunteers, and enthusiastic supporters from all the affiliated clubs, past and present, to collaborate and celebrate the official opening of this exceptional facility.
