🎉❤️🖤🤍 Bellarine Athletics Turns 50 in 2026! 🤍🖤❤️🎉

That’s right – on March 24, 2026, Bellarine Athletics celebrates 50 years!

With this huge milestone ahead, we want to hear from Group members about how we should celebrate!

Should we hold a 50th Celebration Event/Dinner — and if so, when?

We’re looking at two possible times:

End of the 2025–26 season – aligns with the official club formation date (March 1976)

Start of the 2026–27 season (October 2026) – aligns with the beginning of our first season

We’re also gauging interest to see if this kind of event is viable, so your feedback is really important.
A quick poll will be posted in the Facebook group – please vote and let us know:

Which timing you prefer

If you’d attend

Help us Make it Special – Get Involved!

We want this to be a true celebration of our club’s history. To do that, we’re looking to:

Collect old photos, stories, memorabilia and memories

Create a timeline or historical feature to showcase during the celebration

If you have photos or something to share (or know someone who might), please send it via Messenger or email us at hello@bellarineaths.au

Spread the Word – and Help Others Join

We’d love your help reaching past members, supporters, and friends of Bellarine Athletics.

Our Facebook group is private, so people will need to:

Request to join, or

Have a current member request for them to be added

Please invite or tag anyone you think should be involved — we want to include as many people as possible! If you know someone who doesn't use Social Media you can send us their email instead.
