Stadium to open doors for holidays
CAMPERDOWN’S Stadium will be opening its doors to the public next Friday, providing some entertainment for families as the school holidays begin.
The stadium open day is a free afternoon event which will allow families to participate in some sporting activities before winding down with a film.
Corangamite Shire Council recreation officer Ricky Birmingham said Camperdown has a first-class community stadium at 1 Fuller Street.
“We hold weekly competitions across various sporting codes and organisations for all ages,” he said.
“Have you or someone you know—friends, family, workmates—ever thought about playing sport locally to keep active or just to get social?
“If so, come and join us at the Camperdown Community Stadium as we kick off the mid-year school holidays in style.
“Join us for our showcase and movie night on Friday, June 28, to coincide with the end of term and with the netball grand final.”
Mr Brimingham encouraged residents to take a tour of the stadium facilities, as well as participate in the soccer clinic which will be held.
“There will be loads of fun things on offer for the kids with games, activities, and craft before finishing the night with a movie screening,” he said.
“In the theme of the evening, the movie will be ‘Back of the Net’ is a 2019 comedy about American science student Cory, accidentally gets on the wrong bus and ends up at a soccer academy instead of a Sea Science.
“It features Disney star Sofia Wylie (‘Andi Mack’ and ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’), Australia’s Christopher Kirby (‘Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith’ and ‘The Matrix Reloaded’) and Trae Robbin (‘Girl at the Window’).
“Entry is free and bookings are not required. We will provide a free barbecue dinner and canteen facilities will be open (cash only).
The soccer clinic will kick off at 5.15pm, with the junior netball finals running from 4-5pm.
