AFTER two years in football no-mans-land, the Ardmona Football and Netball Club (AFNC) has again had to make the tough decision to sit out the 2024 KDL season. But the fight’s not been beaten out of the Bushcats yet.
They know it’s a battle ahead to get everything ready for the 2025 season. With the new committee announced in October last year, they are ready to meet the challenge. The new committee consists of president Allicia Barber, vice president David Savige, treasurer Renee Barnett, secretary Justin Arrowsmith, and football director Tim ‘Plugga’ Magann.
Part of the rebuild is raising much-needed funds that were depleted in the wake of COVID. To begin the process AFNC will hold a Show ‘n’ Shine at their ground to bring families in for a fun-filled day for not just car, bike and truck enthusiasts. Live music, an open bar, market and food stalls, and activities for the kids it’ll be a day out that everyone can enjoy.
In a show of community spirit, AFNC will donate half the entrance fees to Neffy’s We Listen, a local charity that raises awareness about suicide and mental health. Vehicle entry is $20, spectators are $5, and kids under 12 are free.
AFNC’s Show ‘n’ Shine will be held on Saturday, February 24 at 125 Lenne Road, Ardmona. Gates open at 8.30am, judging begins at 11am. For more information about the event or to get involved with the club, visit their Facebook page, or call David 0422 811 125 or Allicia 0417 577 661
