Torquay Rotary Post Brownlow Social Night on Teams

You are invited to our Brownlow Social Night.

Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions we are unable to meet anywhere Face 2 Face so we will again be meeting using Microsoft "Teams" (see link below) 

Thanks to the "Master of Fun" aka the "Wandering Rotarian" who is finally back home, Neil Henderson, we have a cracking guest presenter for the evening.

Brett Allen is a retired Australian rules football Field umpire in the Australian Football League. He umpired 346 career games in the AFL since his debut in 1992.

He is fifth on the AFL Umpiring all-time records for the number of finals games officiated, with 33, which is one behind fellow 2007-listed umpire Darren Goldspink. He has also won the All Australian Umpire of the year four times over his AFL career: in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2006.

He announced his retirement on 5 September 2007, citing the increase in interstate travel and training required to umpire at the highest level.

He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2017. On 24 October 2000, Allen was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to the game.

This will be a speaker "not to be missed" as I am sure many of you will have questions to fire at him regarding umpiriring from a spectators viewpoint.

The meeting will begin at 6.30pm and I suggest that you logon 10 or 15 minutes early to ensure your connection is working and to engage in some social banter.

You are also welcome to invite friends and guests to join us by forwarding this email containing the Teams Link to them.

Meals will be "self served" and Drinks at "Home" prices
