November 4, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

A simple idea by one of Kingaroy’s largest companies to encourage team building among staff members has grown into a project that involves multiple workplaces … and a new sporting event for the region.<\/p>\n

Eight teams have registered for this year’s Workplace Warriors Footy Funday, but if it goes as well as expected, even more teams could take part next year.<\/p>\n

The idea to hold a Footy Funday grew from internal discussions at Bean Growers Australia.<\/p>\n

Several BGA employees already take part in the local Touch Football competition, so it seemed natural they would pick this sport for a team-building exercise.<\/p>\n

More people heard about the event, and more teams came on board.<\/p>\n

The Workplace Warriors Footy Funday will be held at T.J. O’Neill Oval in Kingaroy from 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, November 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Team captains held a briefing with BGA representative Veronica Roderick on Thursday to finalise arrangements for the big day.<\/p>\n

Teams must be mixed, and can include children aged from 8 and above.<\/p>\n

The winning team will earn a trophy plus $1000 to donate to their charity of choice.
\n<\/strong>
\nBGA will be entering two teams: “Bean Touched” and “The Mixed Beans”.<\/p>\n

Other teams are Crumpton’s Peanuts (“Crummie’s Avengers”), Fiedler Brothers Plumbing (“The Fiedler Flushers”), Domino’s Pizzas (“The Dominators”), Deb Frecklington’s Office (“Team Deb Frecklington”), “Untouchables”, and Cardio Central (“Cardio Conquerors”).<\/p>\n

Spectators are invited to come along and cheer on the players, and there’ll also be a jumping castle and face-painting for the children, as well as hot food and cold drinks. A licensed bar will be operating from 4:00pm and there will be a free barbecue dinner.<\/p>\n

Veronica emphasised that all the arrangements had been made locally so dollars spent would go back into the local community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
