Merry Christmas and all the best for 2016!

Submitted by NorthPort on

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for their involvement again this year.

It's been a little quiet over the off-season, and January to March are also normally quiet months.

I have just returned from overseas, so I have a lot of catching up to do with the website and VFA/VFL news. I hope to get some of that updated in the early weeks of January.

My thanks also go out to Robbom who continues to post up relevant information including week by week fixturing, scheduling and media coverage of games each round. Robbo, I hope your Dolphins are up and firing in 2016.

2015 was a fascinating year, with Channel 7 coverage being a massive boon for ratings and the exposure of the clubs involved. Hopefully that continues in 2016, and despite me being unhappy at the loss of seeing Cleary and Co from the ABC on our screens each week, I thinkg the Ch7 team really embraced the coverage and they should be credited for that.

Hope you have a wonderful Chrissy break and look forward to a big season in the new year.

cheers,
David.

Thanks for your kind wishes Mega It's quite an honour to be singled out. I think you misunderstood my comments on the Sandridge Events Centre, didn't I say it was the "BEST WHITE ELEPHANT" in the league.

Speaking of social clubs, I note from the constant TV ads down here in Warrnambool that the parma at the Roosters facility has been 'voted number 1 in Ballarat'. Is that correct digs? and if so, who voted for it & when was the poll taken? Might have to try it next season if its so good .....

Good pick up Wal. No 1 means the BEST.
I'll let you know how the voting came about but if VFA George has put his stamp on it then that speaks for itself.
He's not known as the "PARMA KING" for nothing.

Yes, that's a good recommendation digs, does Willi play at Eureka next season? I haven't really studied the draw too closely i must admit

Mixed reviews on Trip Advisor, digs, but the parma does rate a mention

Wal,
The survey was done about 12 months ago by the local newspaper The Ballarat Courier with another currently under way.
The club monitor all posts to Trip Advisor & then take the appropriate action.
Looks like you will have to wait until 2017 to sample the wares as Willy don't make the trip up here this year.

Disappointing digs, always enjoy the journey up the highway to Ballarat on the supporters bus & a few coldies in your social club
