ST KILDA’s annual Family Day will be held at Frankston Waterfront this year, with the fitting theme ‘Family Day by the bay’.

The day, which is a highlight in any Saints fan’s calendar, is proudly presented by Mortgage Choice and will take place on March 10 from 1pm to 4pm.

Members and supporters will have the chance to meet and greet the entire playing list, as well as the coaching staff and club management.

Free activities such as beach volleyball and football competitions will be available, as will free giveaways for the red, white and black faithful.

Junior Saints fans can enjoy the football challenge and other interactive activities as well as a charity gold coin donation for a lucky dip.

A live DJ will be on hand to entertain the crowd with on-stage interviews with all your favourite Saints stars.

The first 500 fans to register on the day will be able to take part in a one-hour autograph signing session with all players, so make sure you get in quick!

Free signed autograph cards will also be handed out throughout the day.

The signing session will be followed by the official 2013 jumper presentation to the entire playing list with the Rooey’s recruit members doing the honours of handing out the guernseys.

The St Kilda membership support team will be on hand for any enquiries from current or potential members who will have the opportunity to sign up on the day.

The UD Trucks Saints Locker will also be on site selling the 2013 merchandise.

We are expecting upwards of 2000 people attending what is a free event but a gold coin donation will be welcomed, with the entire proceeds going to a Saints charity partner of your choice – the Frankston Charitable Fund, the Trevor Barker Foundation, Blue Ribbon Foundation or the Sacred Heart Mission.
