This great man turns 75 today! Congratulations "Floody" (also known as “Floodman”, but christened "Ian" by his parents). Floody has been a fixture at our club for pretty much all of those 75 years – a very funny man and friend to all. He has a swathe of North honours – Hall of Famer, Life Member, 221 Senior Club Games, Best Clubman (1975), Reserves Best and Fairest (1979 and 1982) … the list goes on! He’s the living definition of a true Northie and we love him to bits. HAVE A RIPPER FLOODY! Thanks for all you've done for us over the years. Fun fact: Floody has a twin sister, Patricia Finn (pictured with him), so we send our best wishes to Pat from the North family today as well!

The North Ballarat family is sad to advise of the death of former Board Member Wayne Strong, who passed away recently at his home in Spain.
Recently we had feedback about the appropriateness of using "WE WILL ROLL THEM IN THE MUD AND COVER THEM IN BLOOD" in our Club Song. In summary, the concern was that given our contemporary understanding and abhorrence of family violence and generally any violence - these lines were jarringly inconsistent with the values of contemporary society and of our Club.
