LEITCHVILLE GUNBOWER FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB
SPONSORS' DAY ALMOST A PERFECT SUCCESS

It was LGFNC Bombers' Sponsor Day on Saturday and everyone had a great day.

Unfortunately the teams didn't manage to win everything - the A grade netball came up trumps but the seniors saw the home team go down 47-74 against North Bendigo.

But these days are always a great way to spend a Saturday because you don't just get the games, you get to catch up with old friends, old team-mates and, for Sam Birrell and me, that meant a chat with club legend Matt Hawken.

A huge Congratulations to Ryan & Family! The community will be sad to see you go but we look forward to welcoming the new owners!!

The happenings at the Leitchville Hotel. Firstly Linda,Dianne and I have sold the business and freehold which takes effect on 1st July 2024
The new owners and us have been working together for a while now to ensure a seamless transition.
Mary Anne and Dale have both been self employed and are looking forward to not only the challenge of a new business but being involved in the community.
Please pop in and say hello and make them feel welcome.
It’s been a dizzying journey for Dianne, Linda, myself and the kids. We’ve made life long friends from all over the country and had some truly amazing experiences with you our loyal customers and moreover our friends.
I (Ryan) will be staying on for a while to help with the change over and we’ll still be involved in local sports and community groups
With a touch of sadness and heaps of excitement it’s time for our family to start the next chapter of our journey and the hotel to have only the 5th publicans in nearly 70 years.
We wish Mary Anne and Dale all the success in the world and look forward to catching up with you over the next few months
Cheers with cold beers
