Lofty Legends 2018 Reunion

Lofty Legends 2018 Reunion

by | Jun 2, 2018 | Event, General

Thank you to everybody who helped make the annual reunion on Saturday 2 June a wonderful success, especially MC Leith Dawes and also to everybody who attended. 

We estimate there were around 140 people in attendance and it seemed that people had a great day and night with the club eventually closing around 11pm.

Earlier in the day Kevin Hampton, accompanied by Past Players, made presentations of Medals, sponsored by LLG, to junior players, selected by their coaches, as deserving of recognition on the day in their matches against Blackwood:
Mini Colts (Under 14) – won by Blake Lewis and presented by Brenton Westley
Junior Colts (Under 16) – won by Campbell Giles and presented by Andy Fletcher 
Senior Colts (Under 18) – won by Shaun Maple and presented by Daryl Hampton

The wine raffle (7 bottles, including 2 Henshcke wines) was drawn late in the afternoon by number 1 member of the Lofty Legends Group, Jack Hampton, and the winner was Yvonne Little.

Sincere thanks to Kevin and Kathy Hampton and Kevin Stevens for the terrific photographic coverage of the day. 

Junior Footy Boot Exchange

Junior Footy Boot Exchange

Can You Help?

As we are all aware kids feet grow fast and they grow out of footwear including footy boots at a rapid rate, with many families accumulating collections of boots that are still in perfectly useable condition.

With this in mind the club is planning to initiate a Footy Boot Exchange Program for junior players. The idea is that as kids grow out of their boots they will be able to simply come in and swap their old boots for a larger pair of (slightly) used boots that fit. Senior players will also be able to donate old boots they no longer intend to use for those teenagers with large feet!

Not only will this help ease the financial burden of kids sport it also helps to teach them to reuse and recycle things of value, reducing unnecessary waste.

At the end of each year we also intend to donate a portion of the boots to sporting charities such as Boots For All (bootsforall.org.au) or Fair Game (fairgame.org.au) that distribute used sporting equipment to disadvantaged communities, enabling those children less fortunate than ours to participate in sport as well.

More details will come once the area has been set up and is ready to use.
