Over 100 members enjoyed the last official training night Dinner and Auction on Thursday 6th September.    A sit down BBQ meal was followed by the announcement of the winners of the Jack “Ripper” Robinson Training Awards for 2007.   The trophies were presented to the winners by Mick Robinson, President of the GFUL Life Members Association and brother of the late Jack “Ripper” Robinson who was the GFUL Training Supervisor for twenty years.

The Winners of the Jack “Ripper Robinson” Best at Training Awards were:

Field – Greg Cullen
Boundary – Jake Robertson
Goal – Rick Jones
Junior – Pierce Johnson and Jake O’Brien
Junior Development Squad – Jack Krzywdzinski

The Annual Auction followed the Training Award presentations and after a slow start, Auctioneer Mark “The Fireman” Osborne, fired the gathering up into a bidding frenzy with the end result being the best result we have ever had.

Congratulations to all the Training Award winners, Auction Item Donators and bidding participants who all contributed to a fantastic evening.
