    Re: Supporter Groups

    This was an excerpt I got from the East West Club Kennel Kapers April 2021 edition today in regards to the Sons of the West program:

    Further to my above advice, we are pleased to advise that the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation recently informed us that a

    Sons of the West (Maroondah) program looks to be going ahead in July.

    As this news has just been received you will understand that a lot of planning will go into this program over the next few months.

    We will, in cooperation with the Football Club, give you further details and updates as soon as they become available.

    Good stuff from the East West Club. Sons of the west expanding even further to Whittlesea in the north and now Maroondah in the east.

    Re: Supporter Groups

    From Kennel Kapers April 2021 edition:

    East West Supporter Group going forward

    Last year due to Covid, everything was put on hold and everyone was inconvenienced in some way or other.

    As a Supporter Group of the Western Bulldogs and especially now, in what is hopefully a new ongoing non-Covid era, we are working with the club to increase memberships from the area we represent outside of the Bulldog heartland.

    We mentioned in our last Kennel Kapers our meeting at Whitten Oval with club executives to continue with this membership support and other club initiatives.

    We shall also continue to look at introducing any of the Club’s programs that can possibly be rolled out in the East for our supporters and East-West members.

    We will look at revamping our children’s football clinic and family BBQ programs which have been put on hold due to Covid. We shall continue to support Bulldogs related community and health groups made possible by your memberships and donations.

    One tradition we do have in place is our Legends and Young Guns Dinner at Mulgrave Country Club now booked for Tuesday 3rd August.

    We shall provide more information and booking information as soon as we can on this event. In short a number of events are on hold but we shall keep you updated and we would always welcome any input from our members.

    Can’t see Easty giving up the Parma and cops that easily.

    Re: Supporter Groups

    From the Kennel Kapers No.3 - May 2021:


    Reaching out to East-West Foundation Members

    I was sad to hear of the recent passing of Ken Greenwood a past player and club Director.

    Ken had an important role in the establishment of our Supporter Group in 1983. Ken together with the then General Manager, and another Director, Bill Molyneaux were instrumental in establishing a Supporter Group in the Eastern Suburbs.

    They worked hard to promote this concept and raise funds for the football club. Over 100 people turned up for the inaugural East-West meeting. It was a group passionate and dedicated to spreading the Bulldogs brand.

    Over the years at our East-West events I have been lucky enough to meet some of those originals. They tell their stories of post-game get togethers at the then Western Oval, dinner dances, family days at Norton Reserve, Jells Park, and Wesley College. They also, with others, played an important role in fund raising for the 1989 fight back to save our club.

    Our current committee will continue to reach out to those remaining original members and would love to hear from them and print their stories in future editions of Kennel Kapers.

    The Committee will vote on what it considers to be the best story and award the author a signed 2021 team jumper - the winner to be announced in the year’s final edition of Kennel Kapers. Look forward to hearing from you with your stories.


    Sons of the West in The East

    Part of the charter of the East-West Supporter Group since our inception in 1983 is to promote the Bulldogs in any way we can in the East and areas outside the Bulldogs Heartland.

    We are very pleased to advise that the Western Bulldogs Sons of the West (SOTW) program Is coming to the East. The SOTW program is a highly regarded Men’s Health and Wellbeing program and is operated by the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation in cooperation with a local Council.

    The program in the East has been targeted to start in July 2021,and will be aimed at men in the Maroondah Council area.

    The suburbs in the Maroondah Council area:

    - Bayswater North
    - Croydon
    - Croydon Hills
    - Croydon North
    - Croydon South
    - Heathmont
    - Kilsyth (Shared with the Shire of Yarra Ranges)
    - Kilsyth South
    - Park Orchards (Shared with the City of Manningham)
    - Ringwood

    - Vermont (Shared with the City of Whitehorse)
    - Warranwood
    - Wonga Park (Shared with the City of Manningham and Shire of Yarra Ranges)

    The leader of this program at the Western Bulldogs has requested that anybody interested join an informal preliminary discussion with him and a member of the Maroondah Council, via a Zoom Forum.

    He has asked us to compile a list of email addresses for those that wish to join them so to those who live within the Maroondah Council area and are interested in taking part in this preliminary discussion, please send your email address as soon as possible to :

    tony.crehan@icloud.com.

    Your reply will come directly from the program leader at the Western Bulldogs Football Club.

    From Kennel Kapers No. 5 - July 2021

    East-West Going Forward

    Your East-West Committee is in discussion with the football club to get a Legends function going at the end of the current season possibly in October.

    Another project we are working on, also post-season, is aiming to provide bus transport pick ups at various points in the East and South-East to take any interested supporters on a tour of the VU Whitten Oval.

    Such a visit could include a tour of the venue facilities, the Bulldogs Museum, the area of the planned new facilities, the Bulldog Shop and a walk around the oval for those that are interested.

    The tour would finish with a pre-planned meal at Barkers Cafe and then a return to the bus for the journey home stopping at drop-off points in the East and South-East.

    These initiatives are still very much in the planning stage and we aim to have more news for you in the August Kennel Kapers subject to all the scenarios that may occur.



    Sons of the West is coming to the East

    We are very pleased to be able to advise you that the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation Sons of The West is heading to the East.

We shall continue to work in association with the football club to promote and keep you informed of future women’s or men’s programs for our Bulldogs and East-West members and supporters in the East and South- East.

    We shall always emphasise to the club that there is a strong core of Bulldogs supporters in the East who are passionate Bulldogs members. It is important to promote our club and our brand in the East to build our football club membership as your East-West Supporters Group has been doing since 1983.


    Sons of the West is coming to MAROONDAH

    Re: Supporter Groups

    East West Club Inc. Annual General Meeting

    Our East West Supporter Group AGM will be held on Monday 21st November starting at 7.30 PM at the Mulgrave Country Club.

    We are always seeking new committee members who may like to join a dedicated group of Bulldogs supporters who want to do just that little bit more for our football club. Our committee holds one meeting a month usually at the Mulgrave Country Club (or via Zoom if necessary) and a couple of times a year help out at functions to raise funds as part of our charter to assist the football club financially.

    Part of our 2023 year will be the celebration of the 40th year of our East West Supporter Group and our ongoing support of the Bulldogs over that time.

    Re: Supporter Groups

    East West Inc 40th Anniversary Celebration

    As mentioned above, 2023 will mark the 40th year of the East West Supporter Group.

    It all started with a meeting at the Mitcham Hotel in 1983 of a group of like minded Bulldogs supporters who lived in the east and south east of Melbourne or outside the traditional Bulldog heartland. I assume that our East-West membership of today consists of a mixture of supporters who were raised or lived in the west who moved to the east plus the traditional Bulldogs people who maybe through a number of generations resided in the east.

    We are already in discussion with the Club on how we can best celebrate this occasion. We shall keep you informed on this event.
