Football Wagga Wagga has unilaterally decided to stop sending Result and Ladder summaries and advice of changes of venues for upcoming games to Clubs, as has been the custom for many years. Accordingly readers will henceforth have to check the Football Wagga Wagga website for updates, which they have advised will be available each week from Monday evenings for results & ladders and Thursdays for venue changes. Our apologies, but there's little we can do about it!

We are pleased to announce the availability of Club Merchandise for sale. Initially we will have the Club polo shirt and cap available, with a windcheater-style jacket soon. These quality items are a comfortable and popular way to show support for your team and your Club. Click the picture at left for a large version.

Initial stocks of the polo shirt (similar to that pictured but without the 50th Anniversary logo) have been ordered but are selling fast. Additional orders will be placed depending on demand. Caps will be available after our supplier's minimum order quantity has been reached.

Polo shirts cost $25 (sizes S to XXL) and caps ("one size fits all") $15.

Payment will be required to confirm your order but you will be contacted in due course. Please be sure to include quantity and size as applicable in your email.

Football Wagga Wagga has been contacted by Wagga Wagga City Council in regards to parking at Bolton Park for SSG.

Please do not park in the car parks of private businesses in the area, eg Good Guys/BCF/Pet Barn. Ample parking is available in the Council car parks beside the basketball stadium and the multi-deck carpark at the corner of Morgan and Berry streets.

Football Federation Australia, together with Football NSW, have advised changes to the format of Small-Sided Games for the 2010 season and beyond, resulting from feedback received from parents, clubs and associations over the past two years. You can read a summary of the changes in an open letter from the President of Football NSW, Mr Jim Forrest, available from Download Central.

The attention of all members, their families, coaches, officials and spectators is drawn to the following policies of Football NSW and support documents which are available for review and/or download from either the Football NSW or other websites as shown below.

All participants should familiarize themselves with these policies.

Don't forget you can get a 5% discount on any purchase not already on special when you shop at Rebel Sport and show your Henwood Park Rebel MVP Card. When you use your card, Rebel puts a further 5% into a special account that the Club can use to buy equipment such as balls, training bibs, portable goalposts etc.

You win - the Club wins! Don't spend potential sponsorship dollars elsewhere!

If you don't have a Rebel MVP Card pick one up from the Clubhouse whenever it's open for clothing sales or contact Junior Vice President Emilie Graham at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

An overview of the Rules for Small-Sided Games, as will be played in Under 6 through Under 9 grades this year, is now available in our FAQ section. These are summarised from the FFA Small Sided Games Handbook together with local modifications.

At the AGM held on 5th November it was unanimously agreed to change the name of the Club to Henwood Park Football Club, to more accurately reflect current customs in our sport.

The new name will be effective as soon as administrative details with the Dept of Fair Trading are completed. Our web address will change to http://www.hpfc.org.au, although the old one will still work for the foreseeable future.
