125th Year Celebrations – 2026
| 125th Year Celebrations – 2026 In 2026, the Walkerville Football Club will reach a historic milestone: 125 years since its founding in 1901. To properly honor this significant anniversary, the club is establishing a dedicated committee to plan a year-long celebration. Key Initiatives that we have in mind include: 125th Anniversary Celebration Dinner: A grand gala to gather past and present members, players, supporters, and community figures to celebrate the club’s rich history. Historical Videography: We are collaborating with a professional historian to create a comprehensive video documenting the club’s journey from its inception to the present day. This project will capture the stories, achievements, and challenges that have shaped the club’s identity. Commemorative Memorabilia: Design and produce special edition merchandise and memorabilia to mark the anniversary, providing fans with a tangible way to remember this historic year. Community Engagement Events: Organize a series of events throughout the year to engage with the broader community and share the club’s history and legacy. This could include open days, school visits, and exhibitions. The club is actively seeking individuals who are passionate about Walkerville Football Club’s history and want to play a role in shaping the 125th-anniversary celebrations.
