November 21, 2018 November 2018 No Comments

Our Social Touch Competition has started up again, if you have not got a team entered then just pop down and either watch or if a team is short they may be looking for a reserve.  Fridays from 5.45pm, a fun evening for the whole family, whether a spectator or playing!

WORKING BEE – our annual working bee to give the Clubrooms and the Gym will be held on Sunday 25 November at 10am, this will be an opportunity to give everything a good scrub, all helpers are welcome as there will be jobs for everyone, many hands make light work!

AGM – to be held on Monday 26 November, 7.30pm at the Clubrooms.  This is an opportunity to get involved in the running of our Club, all members and supporters are welcome to attend.

A massive THANK YOU to Trust House who have granted us $5,000 towards a new roof for the Clubrooms! After a few years of patching up our leaky roof it is time to replace, this Grant is a huge help in meeting the cost of this. Thank you Trust House!

Also a big  thank you to the NZ Racing Board who have granted us $1000 towards playing jerseys for our Sevens team. Each summer we enter teams in various competitions within and outside our region, it will be great for them to have their own playing kit.

We recently said Bon Voyage to two of our valued players Chris Raymond & Cody Cunningham who have left for Irvine Rugby Club in Scotland for a season of rugby.  We wish them safe travels and good luck for what lies ahead, and look forward to seeing them back for our 2019 season!
