Sporting organisations and clubs called to sign up for Get Active Sign On

Date published: 16 December 2024

Townsville’s Get Active Sign On is back in 2025 and with Council calling on local sporting and fitness organisations from across Townsville to register to be involved, it could be bigger and better than ever.

Acting Mayor Paul Jacob said with more than 60 exhibitors registered for this year’s Sign On, Council was looking to build on that number to grow the event while promoting living a healthy and active lifestyle.

“The Get Active Sign On is always a highlight on our yearly event calendar, but to make it even bigger and better Council is calling for sport, recreation, health and fitness clubs and organisations to sign up to exhibit at the event on Saturday 15 February next year,” Cr Jacob said.

“The Sign On is one of our most popular community events with thousands of visitors coming through the doors each year, which is why we want to make sure our community has options galore when it comes to exhibitors.

“The day gives sports clubs and fitness and recreation groups a great avenue to reach out to potential new members and show them what getting active their way is all about so we’re calling on all potential exhibitors to get their registrations in now.

“It’s never too early or too late to start incorporating a good dose of healthy activity into your life, not only is it great for the body, but also for mental wellbeing.

“As a Council we’re passionate about embracing participation in sport and recreational activities and this is just one way we can support our sport and recreational clubs, and who knows perhaps even support the development of our future sporting stars.

“We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sports teams in Townsville that cater to tiny tots right up to senior grade players, but we also have plenty of non-competitive groups and clubs that cater to all levels of physical fitness.

“Being part of these clubs and groups not only gives you a physical outlet, but it’s also an easy way to make friends and let your mind take a break from the hassles of daily life.”
