Social functions such as the Mystery Dinner, Fishing Trip etc, have yet to be penciled in. Don't forget to get your Super 14 entries into Paddles by 10/02. Annual General Meeting The AGM was held on the evening of the 20th January. In accordance with the Team/Club Constitution nominees were put forward for each position and after all was said and done the team/club elected officers for this coming season is as they were for last season:
Not forgeting Tex Houston is our continueing Immediate Past President.
Since before time began Dick (Daktari) has been a promiment member of our team/club during which time he has served representatively at both club and function level, been consistently involved with fund raising activities and certainly never been shy of putting his two penny worth into any discussion or debate.
Our first Life Member ' Paddles' makes the presentation to Dick on behalf of SBGO Paddles is once a again running our annual Super 14 competition. The competition starts the second weekend in February so be sure to contact Paddles soon with your entry/entries, remember the competition is open to member's friends, relatives and work colleagues. Prizes are:
Entry is $25 although I do believe there is a for an extra $5 members can indulge in a members only competition. See the appropriate Super 14 section for further details. The recent VRQ (Veterans Rugby Queensland) Mini-fest held at our grounds with all profits going to charity in this case Prostrate Cancer proved that this idea has a viable future and towards $3,500 was made on the day. It looks that it will become an annual event andalready Easts and the Crabs have already put their hands up for the next two events. Special thanks to all those SBGO's who helped VRQ notably Kevi K and Snappa make the day the success it was. Fun photo's from the Mystery Dinner click here
Initial News. Unfortuantely a week or so after being discharged from hospital after his heart bypass operation Beanz suffered a minor heart attach and has had to have a stent put in, also his heart is still not yet fully recovered OK and subsequently tires very quickly. Ossie recently visited him at home were he is now recovering and found him in good spirits and keen to get down and visit us at the club sometime soon. Needless to say 'get well soon' from all the lads.
What can you say, the Mystery Dinner continues to one of the highlights if not the highlight of our social calendar. Judy and Paddles did us proud once again with a 'Bollywood' evening aboard the Kookaburra Queen.The Bollywood dancing was sensational and before long we were invited to try it ourselves andf believe me I don't expect that they anticipated such an enthusiastic response. As quick as Jack Flash the dance floor was packed with a by now well lubricated SBGO representation, in fact so much so that spillage into the aisles ensued. What followed was fun and mayhem and , at some points downright hysterical as we tried our best to follow the lead of our dance tutors. Well it was a roar but I don't expect that Bollywood will be casting an eye our ways for support roles in the next Slumdog Millionaire although,Ollie did win tickets for Bollywood dance lessons, stranger things have heppened? Afterwards we returned to the club to be joined by Dick who had been out celebrating his 75th birthday. Needless to say a few more beers were enjoyed. Best wishes Dick.... New ! - Photo's have been updated - go and look, I dare you And for a laugh go and see the SBGO haka recently performed in Vanuatu on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtKj29s_Lck Once again our appreciation is extended to all those members
of the Sunnybank Puffin Dragons for yet another fantastic mini-fest.
We had 12 teams turn up on the day as well as the ladies/over
50 match. A big thank you to all that helped out at the bar, the
BBQ, organising games, selling tickets, cleaning up, running around
like a blue-ass fly etc etc. Also, it was great to see the open
friendliness from all puffin dragons on the day both working the
minifest and playing for other teams. Speaking to a lot of the
visiting teams it was it was plainly obvious that they were mightily
impressed with both the organisation and logistics of the event
and that our guys were more than willing to fill the ranks and
play for their teams when called upon. One quote from a visiting
player stated that "The Sunnybank minifest is the best minifest
and the most anticipated day in the Goldie Oldies football calendar".
This is why we have a great golden oldies club - it is the people
involved with the club and not least the participation and contributions
from our guests as well.
Gala Dinner: Over 70 people attended what is considered to one of our finest events to dat. The Stamford Plaza provided a suitable venue and occasion for our elegantly turned out patrons. A sumptious meal was followed by an excellent live band whose stage sessions were intermingled with topical speeches from Tex, Snappa & Paddles.
