AFLQ150 – HOMECOMING

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.

The aim of HOMECOMING is to provide an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions, both on and off the field, which members of your club have made.

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.
