Former members of the Chewton Football Club will be holding a Premiership Reunion at the Campbells Creek Recreation Reserve on Saturday July 11.
The club are inviting Life Members, Past Committee Members, Players and Supporters along to the celebrations which will kick off at 12.30pm.
The club disbanded after the 1990 season but have continued to hold premiership reunions every ten years, following their 1986 Senior and Reserves premiership wins in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League.
This reunion will include the following premiership wins:
– 40th anniversary, 1986 Senior & Reserves Premiership.
– 50th anniversary, Under 19 Reserves Premiership.
– 51st anniversary, 1975 Senior Premiers & Champion team.
Reunion attendees will be watching Campbells Creek take on Harcourt in a MCDFNL match at Campbells Creek.
An entry fee is to be paid at the main gate, and drinks will be available for purchase in the clubrooms. Finger food will be available throughout the afternoon.
A display of Chewton Football Club memorabilia, including trophies, flags and photos along with a short history of football at Chewton from 1884 to 1990 will be given during the afternoon.
Following the senior game, we will adjourn to the Five Flags Hotel at Campbells Creek for tea at participants’ own cost.
