2016 marks the 150th anniversary of Australian Football in Queensland.
This milestone provides a fantastic opportunity to not only celebrate the history of our code, but the history of your club.
We want to hear your story and find out what’s unique about your football club, no matter how long you’ve been established.
To this end AFL Queensland is inviting all our clubs across the state to get involved in our HOMECOMING theme and establish a HOMECOMING round or event for 2016.
HOMECOMING celebrations can be as large, or as small, as you wish to make them.
HOMECOMING events provide you with an opportunity to reengage previous members of your club and share your history with current members.
Efforts made early in the season can help boost your club throughout the year as you reconnect with your past.
HOMECOMING IDEAS:
HOMECOMING HERO Homecoming hero each home game with a story pre-match and match day coin-toss.
CAPTAINS LUNCH Homecoming Captains table pre-game lunch. Invite all former captains back to the club.
BEST & FAIREST BBQ Pre game lunch. Invite all former Best & Fairest winners back to the club for a match day.
VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION Recognition for outstanding contribution to your club over 10/20/30/40 etc. years with 150 Certificate.
HOMECOMING ROUND Invite former players, supporters, volunteers, coaches, sponsors to come back for one homecoming game
HOMECOMING BALL Theme your night-of-nights with a homecoming ball. You could even theme tables from different eras.
VIDEO Take the time to film a 3 minute video and tell us your club’s story.
