Calling all Seadogs
March 18, 2002
The Harman Seadogs Rugby League Football Club will celebrate its 30th anniversary on the long weekend of June 7-10.
The Harman Seadogs is the only ADF rugby league team in Australia, with many members and past players scattered all over Australia.
The club was founded in 1972 and competes in the second division competition in Canberra, known as the Canberra Cup.
All past and present players, supporters and families are invited to join the celebrations.
On the evening of Friday, June 7, the current Seadogs team will play a Canberra Cup competition game at HMAS Harman, followed by a 'Bop-n-Flop'.
On Saturday, June 8, there will be an Old vs New Seadogs team, which is bound to be a crowd pleaser (Oztag style).
On Saturday night, the 30th anniversary Seadogs dinner will be held at Hotel Heritage, Narrabundah, featuring a four-course meal, drinks and numerous awards and entertainment.
Official celebrations will conclude on Sunday with a recovery barbecue at HMAS Harman, where there will be an official naming of the sports oval and the unveiling of the Seadogs' Museum.
Organisers welcome donations of any Seadogs' paraphernalia including old photos, jerseys and memorabilia that can be placed in the museum.
If you are a past Seadog or associated with the club and may be able to assist with paraphernalia and would like to come along to the celebrations, or to help us contact others involved with the club in the past, please contact the committee (details below).
Tickets are on sale now for the dinner at $50pp which includes a four-course meal, drinks and entertainment.
