MOVIE FUNDRAISING AFTERNOON:
Our movie fundraising afternoon will be held on Sunday 22 March at
Hoyts Garden City.
The feature movie Two
Fists One Heart rated (M) will be screening at 1pm with a bar
operating from midday.
Tickets are $15 and everyone
is encouraged to come along, bring family and friends, enjoy
the movie and socialise with other members of the Rugby Club. Tickets can
be bought in a number of ways:
- The Trinity College Online Store,
- Judy Mackintosh on a Thursday morning outside the
boardroom from 7.45am to 8.30am, or
- From any member of the Rugby Committee
All profits from ticket sales and drinks sold will go
directly to the Trinity College Rugby Club which will benefit all
boys playing rugby.
APPAREL ORDER AND CONTACT DETAILS FORMS:
As in the last newsletter there two forms attached to this
newsletter which need to be filled out and returned to Mr. Lewis; a Contact
Details Form and an Apparel
Order Form.
The Contact Details Form enables the Rugby Club to keep in
touch with all its members and through our newsletter provide parents
with the latest information concerning Trinity College Rugby.
In keeping with the aim of raising the prominence of rugby
at Trinity College some changes have been made to the senior playing kit
for 2009. The Apparel Order Form details the kit items available to be
purchased as a package
only from the Rugby Club directly. No items are being
sold separately but the packages have been heavily subsided by
our sponsors.
It is compulsory for 1st and 2nd XV players to have this
new kit for the commencement of the PSA seaon. Contrary to what was
said in the last newsletter, touring
players from the 1st and 2nd XV must purchase their PSA kit
as a package ($90) similar to the boys that are not going on tour.
The tour kit which they will be presented with cannot be worn for PSA
matches due to PSA regulations on advertising and sponsorship.
Guidelines on measurements are attached on the second page
of the Apparel Order Form. Touring players have already been measured so
these measurements have been used for their PSA kits. It is
imperative that the Apparel
Order Form along with full payment be returned to
Mr. Lewis by Friday
13 March to allow adequate time for delivery.
For Years
7 to 10 it is optional to purchase their package, which
contrary to the last newsletter consists of only two items, a warm-up top
and a kit bag for $45. All other items including playing top, shorts and
socks need to be purchased from the College uniform shop as normal. It is
hoped to eventually have the whole Rugby Club wearing the new gear but
the present stock from the uniform shop must be sold first.
For those parents who are keen to stand on the sidelines
and support their sons a supporters fleece is also available for
purchase. Details are included on the Apparel Order Form.
Payment can be made for these packages by cheque,
credit card or via the Trinity College Online Store. All items have been
made by Canterbury, a reputable
and world renowned rugby brand and so are of excellent quality and very
good value for money.
TOUR MEETING REMINDER:
A parent information evening for those parents who have
boys going on the tour to Sydney will be held on Tuesday 10 March
in the upstairs PE classroom in the Foley Centre (above the gym) starting
at 6.45pm
sharp. It is expected that at least one parent and their touring son
attend. The itinerary for the trip will be outlined as will expectations
for the tour. It will provide parents with an opportunity to ask
questions.
RUGBY CLUB SCRATCH MATCH AND FAMILY FUN DAY:
On Saturday 4 April the entire Rugby Club is invited to
watch a combination of the 1st and 2nd XV's play a scratch match against
Aquinas at Waterford starting at 10.30am. There will be a complimentary
sausage sizzle and soft drinks supplied by the Rugby Club. This is
primarily a social event for the rugby community and an opportunity for
the senior players to get to know their younger counter-parts. All
members of the Rugby Club are welcome.
TRIATHLON FUNDRAISING:
As outlined in the last newsletter the Rugby Club have
been given an opportunity to raise funds by providing marshalls at
triathlons. We have already had a group of parents who marshalled at a
triathon recently and rasied $900 for the Rugby Club. Thank you very much
to those parents who attended. This has enabled the club to buy drink
bottles for all teams and playing bibs for training sessions. There
are two more triathlons, one on Saturday 4 April and one on Sunday 19
April. Please contact Colin Mackintosh at cjjmackintosh@bigpond.com if
you are willing to help. This is a great and simple way of raising
significant funds for the Rugby Club and it only involves a few hours of
your time.
