05 | SPJFC Year Book 2016 SEASON OPENING SPJFC SUNDOWNER The 2016 season got off to a great start with another successful Season Opening Sundowner. Held at Como Bowling Club on a lazy Sunday afternoon in late March, this sundowner was a great social event for families, both for catching up with existing football families and welcoming all new member families. At the end of the 2016 summer sports season, there was nothing more enjoyable than seeing loads of children, all ages, running around of the green oval kicking a football, especially when the weather is cooling but not yet cold. Better still was mingling with football minded parents around the shade of the oval trees as the sun was setting. This certainly set the warm football community spirit that this club is well known for and was a perfect reflection of the positive football season to come. Casual pizzas, a refreshment to watch the kids play and jump on the jumping castle very kindly provided by the Como Bowls Club. Thank you to our sponsor Megan Brier from Hire Events for supplying the gorgeous furniture it was a hit!
