Come and celebrate Australia Day tomorrow at the Glenelg Football Club, Gliderol Stadium. The Triple J Hottest 100 will be playing all your favourite tunes from 2011, so bring your deck chair and come and relax with friends and family. This is a FREE family event proudly supported by the City of Holdfast Bay. It all kicks off at 11am, and there will be kids entertainment including mini golf, giant Chess and more. The Bay Bar & Bistro is open for lunch and snacks, and the outside Canteens and bars will be open throughout the day. Strictly no BYO drinks. Happy Australia Day!

In reference to today's headline in the Advertiser which states "Lights dimmed on Glenelg Oval plan" I wish to state that the Glenelg Football Club is rapt to have achieved its goal of delivering night SANFL matches to Gliderol Stadium commencing on 31 March this year.

To suggest that plans are dimmed is misleading.  We have fought an Appeal in the ERD Court successfully to ensure night Footy in 2012 comes to the Bay.

Any secondary usage in the future e.g. by community groups would be encouraged by the Club however would require separate applications to Council.

We are looking forward to a huge evening on March 31 for the first ever night match to be played at Gliderol Stadium.
