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.
- In appreciation and acknowledgement
of this and his continueing effort Dick has overwhelmingly been
decreed as a SBGO Life Member and as such receives all the respect
and accolades associated with that position.

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.

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.

Some of the guests
We cannot
allow unregistered players to play this year, because of the risk
of injury and insurer will not payout any compensation. So we
need $50 a year to play and join in the fun and frivolity
