A message from Warwick Grant, President Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the weekend a great success and in particular a big thankyou to the Organising Committee and helpers: Jess Grant (Social Convenor), Daniela Gooden, Judy Grant, Sandra Harris, Robyn Gooden, Old Boys Mark Gooden, Lyndon Taylor, Helen Taylor and Ashley Briggs. Thank you also to Stephanie Day for your assistance. Planning for our Golden Jubilee weekend commenced in March 2007 and the way in which our members past and present responded to this weekend says much about the calibre of our Club. A great effort. The weekend's activities got off to a good start at Rom's on the Thursday and Friday night ably assisted by Old Boys Dave Walker, Meggo and company. It was good to see Dave Lennon, Tubs and Ann Worboys, 'Muzza' Wilkinson, Dave Heckendorf, John Walker and Digby and Jo McNeil to name a few. Rugby was always going to be a winner on the day! What more could we ask for - great weather, three wins against Aggies, 350 present and past members reliving their youth and 'sharing' their stories at the Dinner and a good response from many of our original members at the recovery breakfast on the Sunday. It was a great honour to have many of our original members and Life Members attend the games and the dinner and our boys were honoured to have Jim Lenehan, Beres Ellwood and Bob Conolly say a few words before and after the game. The 'Tahs Old Boys hosted the Hospitality Tent and promoted our Golden Jubilee apparel. My thanks in particular to Ashley Briggs for also organising some great tucker for our visitors. The highlight of the weekend would have to be the Dinner at the RSL. We were in the company of many great players and others who have made significant contributions to our Club and to Rugby. and of 15 Life Members 14 were present: Mick Millard, Our MC for the evening was none other than our very own Chris Coleman, U17s Manager. Chris did a superb job of keeping the night flowing despite the President taking more than his allocated 10 minutes. Thanks Chris for your contribution to the night. The proceedings commenced with Toasts followed by yours truly and a speaker for each of the decades: 1960s - Jim Lenehan. Jim was followed by Bob Conolly who passed on a message from Corky Walker. I have got to hand it to Pikey. Pikey's account of the not-so-eventful '70s was entertaining to say the least. I recall there was some serious socialising during the '70s and there was the small matter of the 1977 premiership as Pikey mentioned . A character building decade you could say. Every Club has to have one! A few enthusiastic members formed a 'Waratahs Choir' and entertained the gathering with a repertoire of Club songs. Thanks to Meggo for organising this. Hope we have a few more bus trips Meggo before the next concert. Luxton Walker presented Jude Grant with a Life Membership of our Club - the first female to be given this honour. Around 30...or was it 60... or so attended the recovery breakfast at the Civic Gardens on the Sunday. My thanks again to the Organising Committee and Old Boys Lyndon Taylor, Mike Dolan and Ashley Briggs for providing much needed sustenance. All in all a very good weekend. PHOTOS Other photos will be added to our Webpage as they come to hand and as time permits. These include photos of the games and other photos taken at the dinner MERCHANDISE - Golden Jubilee Tie and Dress Jersey If you would like to purchase a Golden Jubilee Tie or Dress Jersey, or other Club apparel please send me an email to warwick@sugarwood.biz and I will arrange for an order form to be sent with costs and payment options.
