U16: March 17th, St Patrick's Day dinner at Daniel's of Nobleton
Mar 5, 2010

As a fund raiser for the Aurora Barbarians Rugby Club's under-16's Tour to Ireland this August, and in keeping with the Irish theme, we will be celebrating St Patrick's Day with a dinner at Daniel's of Nobleton, just south of King Road on Hwy 27.

Live Irish and Jazz music, great food, excellent company, and proceeds go toward supporting the lads on their U-16 tour.

With Rugby now to be in the Olympics from 2016 onward, these lads are of the age group that will form strong part of the first squad of Canadian rugby Olympians. The Aurora Barbarians is the premier club of Ontario and one of the top clubs in Canada, so add to that the international exposure the Irish tour will give these young contenders and you can see the importance of the tour which comprises young men and coaches from Keswick, Schomberg, Nobleton, Aurora, Stoufville, King City, Newmarket, Maple and Toronto

Raffle tickets will be on sale which will be good not just for the main draw but also for spot prizes for which only tickets purchased at the event are eligible.

Cost is $55 per person for full meal and entertainment. Beverages, tips and taxes are extra.

U16: Planning Continues Full-Throttle
Mar 2, 2010

Planning for the U16 Tour to Ireland continues full-throttle. The organizers are putting together a Tour magazine, and looking for local businesses in our greater rugby community to help sponsor the Tour via ad space purchases. A sample of the Tour Magazine & Sponsorship Booklet Overview can be seen here.

Let's do what we can to help these young men represent the Baa-Baa's overseas. Training for them started a few weeks ago - we don't intend to be walked over in Ireland.
