The club will hold its old boys’ day on Saturday at Lindsay Park with the afternoon to feature the club’s under 15s in action followed by the All Age C-grade game against competition leaders Raymond Terrace.
The event also marks the 30th anniversary of the 1984 under 20s grand final winning campaign.
The teams will also wear replicas of the 1984 jerseys.
Club committee member Kim Bolton said the club wanted to find out more about their history.
“We’ve been looking to find stuff on the club and been struggling to find information,” she said.
“Originally the seniors and juniors were separate at Beresfield so unfortunately we’ve got no information.
“We’ve asked our old boys and other people but if anyone has any information on the club and its history we’d love to hear from them.”
Bolton said the entire club looked forward to the event.
“It will more just be a relaxing day and a fun day for everyone to catch up,” she said.
“We’ll have a pass the ball competition for the kids and our under 6s and under 8s will be playing a demonstration game at halftime.”
In the C-grade fixture, Thornton Beresfield will have to be at their best against Raymond Terrace.
The visitors thrashed Carrington 74-1 last weekend and have the minor premiership in their sights.
Raymond Terrace is on 22 points, two behind top of the table Waratah Mayfield.
Thornton Beresfield is a place back in third on 19 points and a win would further secure their position in the finals.
Bolton said the club hoped as many past players and fans as possible would attend.
The under 15s game kicks off at 12.30pm while All Age is at 3pm.
