The Bulls went down in the grand final to East Maitland, who are ironically their same opponent in Saturday's B-grade encounter.
Members of the Bulls side from what turned into a golden period with a number of premierships are being urged to attend the local derby.
Club publicity officer Ben Blakemore said they were also keen for members of the Griffins premiership team to come along for the day.
It's an exciting time for the club after some lean times.

There's going to be plenty going on with the juniors kicking off things in the morning and the main game kicks off from 3pm, with beers on sale from 1.30pm.
Blakemore said the club was having a tremendous year this season under new coach Jason Smith and a new committee headed by president Darren Pearson and vic-president Dave Mexon.
"We started in D-grade and have been bumped up to B-grade where we are sitting second on the table," he said.
"Jason and the committee are stirring the club back into premiership contention. It's an exciting time for the club after some lean times.
"We always get great roll ups and we want to see all the old boys but in particular the 1989 team."
