Footy finals are around the corner and Sunbury children are getting into the kick of it.

The Sunbury Blue Light Disco’s next theme is footy fever. Disco treasurer Rose Le Guier is encouraging all young groovers to come dressed in their favourite team’s colours.

“We often do the footy or sport theme for our August disco because footy finals are coming up and the kids are all into it,” she said.

“We’d love to see all teams there … it’s whatever you like. Sometimes we’ve seen kids there wearing other sports colours like NRL, cricket, or their local footy or sporting club colours. We love seeing the kids getting dressed up in any of our themes.”

The disco recently received a $1000 Stockland Community Care Grant which will be used to upgrade lighting and audio for future discos.

“It’s the second time we’ve received a grant from them,” Ms Le Guier said. “We applied again this year to enhance our disco experience … Some of the equipment we’ve had for many years, so we could do with a bit of an upgrade.”

The next Sunbury Blue Light Disco for primary school-aged pupils is on Friday, August 30, from 6-8pm at Sunbury Memorial Hall.

Tickets are $7 and can be purchased on the night.
