The official opening of the new building at Punt Road Oval by a "very special guest" will be a major highlight of Richmond's Jack Dyer Foundation Day on Sunday, March 16.
Another key attraction will be a giant Tiger slide (reportedly the biggest Tiger slide in the known world!) that won't be confined merely to the kids.
Jack Dyer Foundation Day will be a terrific prelude to the 2003 season, providing all Tiger supporters with the opportunity of gracing the hallowed Punt Road Oval turf and enjoying the festivities with fellow members of the Yellow and Black faith.
The gates (turnstiles near the Punt Rd entrance) will open at 11am and the fun continues until 3pm. A gold coin donation is all you'll need to enter and there'll be tin rattlers at the door to take the donations.
Car parking will be available in Yarra Park (please note this is organised through the Melbourne City Council at a charge of $5-$6 per car).
All the Richmond players will join in the Jack Dyer Foundation Day celebrations, all day long, and they are looking forward to joining in a host of activities with the kids (from 11am-12.15pm), including kick-to-kick, handball, golf, drawing, sack races, Tiger Zone, and maybe even that massive Tiger slide!
Popular kids' band "Jelly Beans" will perform, so, too, teenage group "Boyz" and then, later in the day, the mighty "Mega Men" will strut their stuff on stage (as they did so entertainingly at last year's Tiger Family Day).
The Lord Mayor of Melbourne, John So, will hand over a cheque to the Tigers for the new building, which will then be opened by that very special guest, who's bound to attract plenty of attention.
You can bring your own food, or partake of the superb catering available at Punt Road. The bar will also be open, but please note: no BYO drinks.
So, pencil Sunday, March 16 into your diary/calendar now, because it's going to be a great day for the Tigerish . . .
