Red and white filled the Narromine USMC, major sponsors of the club, as players, friends and family gathered together to cap off the football season.
The Jets were honoured to have Geoff Mann and his wife Bridgett as their special guest and MC for the evening.
Mr Mann is highly respected for his sports involvement and knowledge and has recently been named Project Chair for the Sporting Legends Drive that will form entry to the multi-million dollar sporting hub to be in Dubbo that was recently announced.
Also special guests Bob Walsh and his wife Robyn from the Narromine USMC were present on the night.
While it wasn’t a successful season on the field as the Jets would have liked, there was still plenty of celebrating to be done.
The Jets had a great year off the field building their team work, club culture and reinforcing their commitment to the community.
Fantastic events took place throughout the year such as the Cale Oval Working Bee, annual Charity Day, Indigenous Round, the Jets Ball and the fundraising for Chris Wilcox who was unfortunate enough to be injured during the season.
Jets President Archie Harding thanked all the sponsors for the season. “We are very lucky to have a fantastic group of people who support the Narromine Jets,” Harding said.
“Without their financial support the club could not function.”
Harding also went on to praise the coaching and managing staff.
