A canteen will be operating on the grounds and spectators are very welcome. Note: There will be no junior football games played today, and the Toowoomba competition is taking the weekend off, too.

In more modern times, Mother's Day began in the USA when it was copied from England by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War as a call to unite women against war. But in the UK and Australia, the day simply celebrates motherhood and thanking our Mums. And if you'd like to give your own Mum a big "Thank You!" today, here's how you can do it: Sunday Bingo - Wondai Bingo games will be held at the Wondai RSL in Mackenzie Street, Wondai this afternoon, with eyes down from 1:30pm.
