Captains Club hosts Barwon Heads lunch

EVENT organisers are celebrating the success of the fourth annual C+M Build Group Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club Captains Club Lunch, held on July 12.

About 60 people filled the club rooms for the event. where guest speaker Andrew Welsh was interviewed by MC Ian Cover.

A former Essendon player and incumbent Essendon Football Club vice president, Welsh spoke about his beginnings and how he got into sport, followed by his business endeavours.

“He talked a bit about his role on the board at the Essendon Football Club and he’s been hinted at as the next president,” Captains Club co-ordinator Dale Fraser said.

“He’s started off with a small business, his original business was hiring construction fences and toilets to construction sites, now he is a developer of land all throughout Australia.

“Ian Cover does the interviewing, and he’s excellent at what he does and how he delves into people’s backgrounds or into their story.”

“They enthralled and engaged with the audience and held the audience quiet for 75 minutes and were well and truly accepted by them.”

The Captains Club is a coterie group of club supporters whose members receive additional rewards as part of their package, including the recent lunch.

“We will give them a luncheon each year, and hopefully it turns out as it did this year, they’ve all been successful and we get really good guests” Mr Fraser said.

This was also the first year the event has had the lunch catered, adding to the atmosphere and triumph of the day.
