ALPHINGTON FREE FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Alphington Football Club is a not for profit organisation (soccer club). Our home ground is at Alphington Park, Alphington and every year we put on a free firework display and invite the local community to join us. This year we will be running this event on Friday 22 September which coincides with the end of the state school term. The fireworks are put on by Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics (http://www.howardsfireworks.com.au/) who are a very highly regarded pyrotechnic company. The display is truly amazing and it is absolutely free. Admittedly, we do sell sausages, run a bar and, for the first time ever, there will be a silent auction. However, there is no obligation for families to purchase anything.
We hope you and your school community can join us to see the end of term 3 out with a blast!
Regards
Elaine McPartlin
Club President
