Roys Recovery – Joe Johnson Indigenous Round

May 21, 2024

Dear Roys Families,

What a wonderful start to the Joe Johnson Round last weekend. It was great to see the photos of our Joe Johnson medallists on our socials on Sunday night.

This weekend, Joe Johnson round will culminate with a very special Roys Recovery Event. Please RSVP here to help with catering.

We’d love to see as many of our Joe Johnson medallists as possible (from both round 6 and 7) at Roys Recovery.

Indigenous T-Shirts

To commemorate our indigenous round we are excited to announce our new ‘We are Fitzroy’ t-shirt. You can purchase at our Roys Recovery on 26th May, or if you don’t want to miss out pre-purchase online! These are selling like hot cakes so order soon.
