Celebrating Tom Wills’ birthday in Captains Flat
Thomas Wentworth Wills was born on 19 August 1835 near Captains Flat in NSW. He is one of the writers of the original rules of AFL and an early member of the Melbourne Football Club. The home ground of the GWS in Sydney is the Tom Wills Ground and Melbourne plays GWS on Sunday 17 August.
So the Captains Flat Area S355 Committee is celebrating his birthday with a party and the first public showing of the AFL on the cinema screen in the Hall.
When: 3.00 pm on Sunday 17 August
Where: Captains Flat Community Hall
The game commences at 3:20 pm, so the Hall will open at 3:00pm. At half time there will be birthday cake and party games. Post game drinks and meals will be available from both the Hotel and the Club and, if you make prior arrangements, meals from the Outsider Gallery & Café.
