and Fitzroy Junior Football Clubs Community Focused Partnership Program"

It's more than a game!
The FJFC wins major community award!
We are excited to tell members that the Fitzroy Junior Football Club
has won the 2003 Community Participation Initiatives Award Prize at the
2003 Sports and Recreation Industry Awards. The prize was awarded by the
Minister for Sport and Recreation Justin Madden at a function at the Sofitel
Hotel on 2 September. Our President Steve Turner proudly accepted the
award and a cheque for $1250 on behalf of the club. The award will be
on display at the FJFC Presentation Day this Sunday.
The club won the prize with the Fitzroy Reds due to a community-focused
partnership program which aims to strengthen the local social fabric by
encouraging community participation. Special mention was also made of
the clubs' pro-active efforts to support "at risk" sectors.
Justin Madden congratulated all winners and finalists across the 10 award
categories and paid special tribute to the tremendous contribution of
community-based volunteers such as the many people who give their time
for our club.
"These people devote hundreds of hours of their own time to organising
and administering sport and recreation activities that not only provide
access to sporting opportunities but also enjoyment to all Victorians
- regardless of age, location or ability," Mr Madden said.
"Our latest winners and finalists illustrate how vibrant the sport
and recreation industry is and the strong contribution it's making to
a more active Victoria. This year's nominations also show the partnership
approach shown by community-based sport and recreation groups which has
no doubt been a key to their success," he said.
Mr Madden said that many of the nominations showed the innovative ways
that leaders in the sport development sector in Victoria were taking to
increase physical activity levels.
This award is something for the whole club community to celebrate and
it's another reason we are all be proud of being part of the FJFC. Well
done everyone!
Function for coaches and team managers
The club will be hosting a function for team coaches and managers at
the end of the season as a gesture of appreciation for all of their selfless
and tireless work. Stay tuned for more details!

Flying the Flag!
Ian Shepherd, Lisa Patience and their two sons, Tom and Sam, had a wonderful
trip to Europe last year. As well as singing the FJFC club song
on Bastille Day on the Champs Elysees (while the French merely sang the
national anthem!), Sam and Tom were spotted at various well known European
landmarks in their Fitzroy jumpers. (last updated: 10/8/2003)

If you have pictures of anyone wearing the team jumper in an
exotic locale, send them to us and
we'll start a gallery.
If you are travelling somewhere exotic in the off season and want to
take a jumper so that you can take your photo in it, contact Steve Turner
