Avoca Public Park
For those of you who have not been to the AvocaPublicPark for a while, prepare to be shocked as there has been some major works taking place over the summer period.
The clubrooms are in the process of a major facelift and the interior of the building is also undergoing major renovations.
New netball change-rooms, & netball medical room have been a welcome inclusion and external access to male and female toilets. A new trophy cabinet will also be installed in the Social Room renovations, which will allow the club to finally display our silverware.
The Bar and kitchen facilities are also being updated to a commercial standard, while outdoor works will see a underground sprinkler system installed onto the oval with a 260,000 litre water tank. (Hopefully asap as the ground is in a very dry state at the moment)
Social Calendar
The Social calendar has a couple of major events this season.
The 20 year reunion of the 1993 Football and Netball teams will be held on Saturday 13th July which will also coincide with the 500th time that Trevor Field dons the Avoca Guernsey. Yes that’s right! Trevor Field will play his 500th game of football for the Avoca Bulldogs! A great achievement!
So needless to say that this will be a big weekend!
The club cabaret Ball will also be held on this weekend.
If you have any idea’s of a Social event that you think would be good, please let us know.
