The clubrooms will be officially opened by Treasurer Peter Gutwein, who is a patron of the club.
Club secretary Peter Fish said the night would also be an opportunity for the Magpies' new coach and new recruits to meet the club's supporters.
"The night will have the two purposes of allowing the new coach Heath Fox to outline his vision for the year, and we've also picked quite a few recruits, especially Sam Cairns, Damien Medwood and Sam O'Keefe," Fish said.
"With the clubrooms, we got a $70,000 grant from the state government, which allowed us to completely renovate the clubrooms, and it is really a significant upgrade, and people will be able to have a good look at that."
The club will also have past players Karl Beattie, a member of the club's first premiership team in 1964, and Don Henwood, who coached the club to a flag in the 1980s.
"'Karl will talk about the role of the footy club in the North-East community, while Don will also be here to have a chat,
"We will have all our members there and have invited our members and our sponsors, but there is also an open invitation to supporters and others who might be interested in how the footy club is going.
"We're coming from a fair way back being wooden spooners the last two years (in the seniors), but we've got about 12 new players, so there is a really good feeling around the club."
The club did win the under-19 premiership last year, and Fish said the Magpies had retained most of those players.
The season launch will be held at the Scottsdale Recreation Ground from 7pm.
