The Seventh RSL Club Over 35s Rugby Tournament -
As well as the large group of Kiwis attending our event, we were very excited to secure the services of our special guest, Sir Colin “Pine Tree” Meads – a world recognised player in the rugby community. He was a generous man with his time, coming to all of our events, talking with anyone and […]
Gold Legends Invitational Charity Match -
The event luncheon was well attended with the highlight of the lunch being the friendly banter of some of the guys who toured together – a certain case of “what happens on tour stays on tour” we think. We were very pleased that we raised money for our charities with an auction of memorabilia and […]
