I have been communicating with Paul Atkins from
Taradale Rugby and Sports Club in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand about organizing a old boys rugby game and other social events. He just recently updated me with event happenings and dates for festivities with us Canadians.
Every Friday & Saturday from 24th September our rugby club will be open from 4pm till late for anyone wishing to watch RWC games. A big screen for fine viewing, our restaurant will be open as will our bar for a few drinks. Everyone welcome to join in with our local rugby club patrons and visitors from Japan.
Sunday the 25th we are hosting a mini golden oldie rugby tournament.
At 8.00am for those that are keen, we encouraged you to experience/ be apart of preparing and laying a traditional Moari evening meal called a "Hangi".
While the Kai (food) is cooking in the earth, the rugby will commence, kickoff at 1.00pm.
We have a team from Japan confirmed to play as well as our own local Taradale 69er's.
Teams from throughout the Hawke's Bay region and even a couple from Manuwatu a neighbouring district.
Following the rugby and aftermatch antics the Hangi will be lifted and an evening meal will be had by all.
Everyone welcome.
Regards
Paul Atkins (Acky)
Thanks "Acky " for the invite. I hope we can round up enough of us old boys to play some games!
Add your name in the forum if you are able to play.
