This guy might be wearing the wrong coloured tie, but at least he's got the right idea!

This week AFL Sweden through their social media channels are taking an in depth look at the Södermalm Australian Football Club in the lead up to the inaugural AFL Sweden Elitserien. The club history, review of season 2014, expectations for the future and player profiles will be available to browse through during the week. So head on over to https://www.facebook.com/aflsweden?fref=nf or http://www.aflsweden.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=181&Itemid=230 to check some of the little known facts about the club. Don’t forget we even have our own Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sodermalmafc?fref=ts  and if you’re lucky you might just be logged on when Bluey is there checking out all the great info as well! Things are looking to be shaping up for a stellar 2015 season. Go BLUES!

The calendar is now updated with our preliminary 2015 training and game fixtures – check it out! http://www.sodermalmafc.se/fixture/

HOWEVER… please note that training times are are still not confirmed and kick off times for some games are not confirmed. We are also looking to add a second training time, possibly a joint training with Stockholm Dynamite (preferably on Thursdays but this is also subject to the other clubs and location of the trainings).

Trainings in March/April will held on Sundays at Globala Gymnasiet (Hornsgatan 93, 117 28 Stockholm) but bring your outdoor gear as we will hold the trainings outdoor if possible. If the weather is kind enough we might also add on outdoor midweek trainings in April.

If you are interested in joining us for training to try out Aussie Rules – or if you have played before and want to pull the boots on in Stockholm, we would love to see you at trainings! Email the club at sodermalmafc@gmail.com or just turn up to Globala Gymnasiet for training at the above address according to the club calendar on this website!

Tjo!

Gentle Men!

As most of you are aware it is that time of year again!

Put on you’re best or worst suit, tie the Söder tie and come on down for Rego night 2015 at the humble, slightly medieval irish setting of the OC.

O’Connells Irish Pub & Restaurant

Stora Nygatan 21, 111 27 Stockholm, Sweden

www.oconnells.se

(if you don’t have a suit, wear a collar and get a söder tie! if you don’t want to wear a suit, get over it and wear one anyway!)

This Friday night 27th March – booking is from 7pm, try not to be late!

For those that are keen, the party will continue afterwards!

The season proper is drawing closer and the Södermalm players are sweating out every Sunday evening (and most likely other nights as well, going for runs on their own initiative, isn’t that right guys?)  as the pre season preparations are in full swing.
Today, Saturday the 21st March 2015 is only 5 weeks out from Södermalms first official game. That’s right you read that correctly only 5 weeks! It was hoped that pre-season would have moved outdoors for tomorrows training session but we have been thwarted by the weather. So for the time being the pre season training will continue as before:
Sundays @ 17.00, Globala gymnasiet, near Honrstull Tunnelbana station.
Contacts: Mick Larsson – 076 279 96 14 or Kaj Karlsson – 073 073 26 25
This in turn brings a close to the always well received off season social events.
The club will round off March with the Annual Registration night.
WHAT: Södermalm AFC Registration Night
WHEN: Friday 27th March, 7pm (19:00)
WHERE: O Connels Pub in Gamla Stan. http://www.oconnells.se/
 This is great opportunity for players, both past and present as well as our valued social membership group to meet all our new recruits as they get their picture taken with Bluey. As per usual the rumour mill is reporting all sorts of information about Bluey Svenssons attire for the evening. Even thought it is most likely that Bluey will show up with full playing kit the club would prefer it if attendees come in at least a button up shirt and preferably a club tie.
Club Ties and Stubby holders will be on sale for the night and if you forget to bring cash any purchases can be made by bank transfer to the clubs BankGiro.
Please contact the club if you are planning on attending as we have booked a preliminary number of 20. Current members have already received an email about this and a reply YES or NO is required as the club will need to adjust the number of booked seats at the venue.
Memberships for 2015.
NO changes to membership prices this year.
Full Playing member: 1000kr
Student/Unemployed Playing member: 500kr
Social member: 350
Payments are preferred via the clubs BankGiro accout number. However, in an effort to simplify payment of membership fees this year the club will be accepting SWISH transfers to the Presidents Mobile number.
Joel Burnell: 0738 341 357
As an extra incentive, anyone who has paid their membership before or on registration night will receive a free stubby holder OR club tie.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday the 27th March.
Go Blues!
