All Black great, Warriors player and former Auckland Blues coach Sir John Kirwan will be the special guest at the Silverdale Rugby Club annual fundraising lunch on Friday May 16.
Organised by the Silverdale Old Boys (SOBS), the annual event has become an integral part of the club’s calendar, as well as raising much needed funds to assist the continuing growth of the club, SOBS chairman Terry Wilson says.
He expects the event to sell out, especially with Sir John attending and encourages people to book tables early.
“The club can host 240 guests for lunch, and for the past five years it has been a full house as the Old Boys and supporters come along to put some funds back into the club” he says.
With the ongoing growth of the Hibiscus Coast and surrounding areas, Silverdale has been officially recognised as the largest rugby club in the country, approaching 1000 players.
“The club is bursting at the seams so any funds we can raise helps support its development.”
Auctions and raffles are held during the event and tickets are $100 each, or $1000 for corporate tables. Enquiries for tickets can be made to the Club Manager.
