Our first official big function in the new Ormond Park clubrooms was our 2009/10 Firsts/Seconds Premiership reunion and selection and announcement of the Teams of the Decade from that year, and it was a raging success.
It was a time for story-telling and for introduction of the players to the crowd - superbly handled by Life Member and Moonee Valley legend Ian Denny.
Our new, big rooms are designed for family-friendly entertainment, so wives and partners were on hand to hit the dance floor as soon as the presentations were over.
We had a First Eleven home game at Ormond Park on the day of the October 26 function, and at our request most of our games started a bit earlier than usual, so the guys also had plenty of time at the end of the match to get showered and changed and dress up for the occasion.
