For any people in Manitoba who want to get involved in footy, an article appears in the Downunder Club of Winnipeg's publication "The Southern Yarn" asking expat Aussies in Manitoba if they are interested in starting an Aussie Rules club to compete against other clubs in Minnesota, Calgary, Toronto, London and Ottawa.
The benefits of this to people like yourself would be that the club could co-ordinate AFL watching events (grand final), be in constant touch with like minded individuals. Having live amateur games played in your area offers the secondary benefit of growing awareness and participation which in turn creates more demand for television coverage.
Anyone interested should contact AFL Canada www.aflcanada.com
