Team Photos 18th & 19th June – Save the Dates!
Junior Team Photos this season will be conducted at Eastlake Gungahlin by Michael Thompson Photography (MTP), over two weeknights, Wednesday the 18th of June and Thursday the 19th of June.
Team session times are now available here.
Eastlake Gungahlin is a great place to tuck into a meal before or after the photo sessions. For those coming on Wednesdays it’s Pizza Night. Thursdays are Steak Night along with 2 for 1 Cakes and there is a Meat Raffle!
You can book a table at Eastlake Gungahlin via phone 6147 5511.
Where: Eastlake Gungahlin, 51 Hinder St, Gungahlin ACT 2912
When: Wednesday the 18th of June and Thursday the 19th of June (specific team days/times)
Parking: Underground parking is off Efkarpidis Street or there is more parking over the road. Guests will receive a parking ticket when they use the underground parking. Guests will need to hold on to the ticket to remember their arrival time. All guest parking is free whilst using the venue. When leaving the venue, reception will issue a new ticket to scan on exiting the carpark if they have been in the venue more than 2 hours. Gates will be open from 7pm, and tickets are not required after this time.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bring your cleaned boots and put them on just prior to the photo. Don’t come into the club wearing your boots. This often brings unwanted grass and dirt into the club and is not appreciated.
Function Attendee Information:
- All attendees must present to reception on arrival.
- Eastlake Members can present/show their members card to Reception, and head into the function space.
- Non-Member attendees (18 years or older) must present their Photo ID to Reception and be signed into the venue, before heading into the function space.
- When signed into the venue as an attendee of a function only, please be aware you are excluded from using any of the venue’s gambling facilities (poker machines, KENO & TAB). Function guests are welcome to purchase food and drink from the Bistro and Main Bar.
- The Eastlake Group does not allow any external food or beverage in any of its venues.
Arrive early to allow the sign in process.
Volunteers wanted for Team Photos
Belnorth requires volunteers to assist with photos on the 18/6 and 19/6 from 4 pm to 8:30 pm to coordinate teams to ensure sessions run smoothly.
If you can lend a hand as a volunteer even for part of this time, can you please let us know via admin@belnorth.org.
Parking outside the box at Kaleen
With only 259 parking spots via Birie and Turon Place, parking is at a premium at Kaleen. On-street parking is available, but please be respectful of local residents and park safely/legally.
Parking inspectors regularly patrol the vicinity of sports grounds to support safe parking. You can be fined for parking a vehicle:
- On a footpath
- On a nature strip or roadside verge
- On the wrong side of the road and not in the direction of travel
A parking hack at Kaleen worth considering. Instead of looking for spots on or off Diamantina Cres, try parking on the other side of the stormwater drain along Wakool Cct, Campaspe Cct, Florentine Cct or Tyrrell Cct.
Otherwise, consider carpooling or riding a bike to Kaleen.
Club Vested Officials
U12 teams and above need to provide a Club Vested Official (CVO) at each match, home and away. We also encourage U10-U11 teams to as well.
What is a Club Vested Official?
A CVO represents the club and is responsible for the actions of supporters from their club.
Essentially, they get to wear a cool vest, help ensure spectators behave themselves and foster respect.
Who can be a CVO?
- A parent or another responsible spectator/supporter
- Someone at least 18 years old
- Can’t be a coach, manager, reserve player or assistant referee (linesperson) at the same time
- Can be different people throughout the season
Over 40 Women Wanted for Masters games
A Belnorth Womens over 40 team are looking for more players to participate in the Australian Masters Games held in Canberra in October. All skill levels welcome!
Contact president@belnorth.org if interested.
More information about the Masters games is available later in this newsletter.

No Kicking Balls Against Shipping Containers
