THE Broncos are headed back out west on Saturday, November 24 for their annual Arrow Energy Brisbane Broncos Dalby fan day.

Players and support staff will be at the Dalby Leagues Club from 9-11am to mix and mingle with local supporters and fans.

Broncos' hooker Andrew McCullough, who grew up in Dalby, will be returning to his old stamping ground.

"It is always exciting to come back to my home town and bring my teammates with me,” McCullough said.

"This is a great day for the community and the players really enjoy interacting with the Western Downs fans that might not usually get the opportunity to talk to us.

"We hope to see a big crowd of people turn up for the Arrow Energy Dalby fan day.”

There will be plenty to do and see on the day with LifeFlight coming in with a Leonardo AW139 aeromedical helicopter and laser skirmish run by Dalby PCYC.

The helicopter is essentially a mobile intensive care unit which services the southwest region with funding from the CSG industry.

Aspiring young athletes will also get to work on their football skills with the players before grabbing a photo and autograph.

This year will mark the sixth time Arrow Energy and the Broncos have run the event.

Arrow Energy vice president external relations and tenure management Leisa Elder said the company got a real kick out of bringing the Broncos players and staff out to Dalby each year.

"I know the Broncos enjoy it as well,” Ms Elder said.

The line-up for Saturday includes players Alex Glenn, Corey Oates, Troy Dargan, Patrick Carrigan, Myles Taueli, Sean O'Sullivan, Thomas Flegler, Payne Hass and more.

Arrow Energy funded the IGNITION program which allowed the PCYC to purchase laser skirmish equipment. Program co-ordinator Kelly Ryan said she looked forward to seeing the community support the Leagues Club and play laser skirmish.
