THE Beerwah Bulldogs is holding their launch night on Saturday, February 15, to bring the community together and kick off the A Grade trial matches ahead of the 2025 season.
Club president, Kurt Quinn said this event will be a great way to entertain the community, with a day full of family friendly activities.
There will be free rides for the kids, market and food stalls, an A Grade trial match from 4:30pm, live music at 6:30pm and fireworks at 7:30pm.
“We don’t profit from the event, we’ve got a $10,000 budget to organise it,” he said.
“It’s a way of letting the community know that we are there and we are community based, so come down and bring your whole family.
“It might get people who have never seen a game of footy to come down and want to come back again, and that’s where you benefit from opening up your club to the community.”
The Bulldogs A Grade Men will also play their first trial match of the year, against the West Panthers from the Brisbane rugby league competition.
President Quinn said it’s a great way to improve the A Grade’s preseason preparation.
“We try to do our trials against teams that we aren’t playing all year,” he said.
“When we have one more trial match in March and then our season officially kicks off on March 29.”
The bar will be open for the adults and there will be facepainting for the kids.
There will also be a sign on tent for new and existing junior and senior players to register for the season ahead.
The launch night will run from 2pm to late.
