Reg Smith was born in Williamstown in April 1916 and he played in his first A Grade game for the Williamstown Rovers when he was 16 years old. He continued playing until he was 43 years old however he did play another game when the team was short playing Cambrai. He played this game with his son Ivan when Reg was 56 years old.
The Reg Smith Trophy for A Grades Best and Fairest player was first presented in 1980 following the amalgamation of the Lyndoch Football Club and the Williamstown Rovers Football Club to form the Barossa District Football Club. As a life member of the Williamstown Rovers, Reg was one of the main instigators of the amalgamation when both clubs were performing poorly (being thrashed) in the Gawler League. He pushed the issue and with some assistance from a few other personnel the amalgamation went ahead. He was also a key player in developing the new clubrooms at Williamstown Oval in 1984. The building of the clubrooms was achieved by the supply of labour by the government and the materials paid for by the club and park committee. Reg spent many hours liaising, ordering, supervising, supplying machinery and delivery of goods and materials at no charge. Reg was very proud of the new club and was very honoured to have the A Grade Best and Fairest Trophy in his name.
Reg continued as a stalwart of the club until he passed away in 2002 at 86 years of age.

You also can purchase beverages over the bar and you can purchase more chips if need be.
There will be a DJ for entertainment and it’s a great night to be indoors and out of the rain will also have the Footy on for anyone that wants to watch the footy 🔥🔥🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Barossa District Football Club Life Member, Allan Turvey, on 4 June 2026, aged 84 years.
Allan was a former player with the Lyndoch Football Club and a dedicated committee member who played a significant role in the amalgamation of the Lyndoch and Williamstown Football Clubs to form the Barossa District Football Club. As an inaugural committee member, Allan served as Social Chairman and helped lay the foundations of the Club we know today.
His commitment to community sport extended well beyond our Club, with Allan also being a Life Member of the Lyndoch Cricket Club, Lyndoch Bowling Club and Willaston Football Club.
We are incredibly grateful for Allan’s significant contribution, dedication and service to our Club and the wider community. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his wife Denise and all of his family and friends during this difficult time.
Allan’s funeral service will be held at Taylor & Forgie’s Adelaide Road Chapel on Friday 26 June at 10:30am, with a wake to follow at the Lyndoch Bowling Clubrooms.
Rest peacefully, Allan. Your legacy and contribution to our Club will never be forgotten. ... See MoreSee Less

Now we are back up and running at Barossa Park for 2026, we are on the hunt for more Bar staff and set up volunteers for external events.
We are working with around 1 or 2 external events each month and for those, we need both RSA accredited bar staff and junior glassies. For most events help is also required to set tables and chairs in position - this is a volunteer role and generally only takes up to an hour with a few helpers.
Earn a few extra dollars - RSA Bar Staff earn $25 per hour and Glassies $15 per hour.
If you are interested in being notified about available event shifts, follow the instructions for the Barossa Events TeamApp attached.
