Yes, that's
exactly right. We don't even have to shag around waiting for next year.
The Good Bastards Rugby World Cup will be held on the weekend of September
20th, 21st and 22nd of this year in Christchurch.
It is similar to Golden Oldies only with three grades.
It started off with some Good Bastards moaning about the high cost of
travel and accommodation associated with Golden Oldies and they suggested
we run a Good Bastards Rugby tournament along similar lines.
"Stewth" I said, "That could upset a few people."
Well, with a lot of encouragement from many Good Bastards, much of it coming from within teams or past teams of Golden Oldies, here we are walking on the hallowed ground of New Zealand Rugby.
Neil and
Ronata Blanchfield have an events company called Team Blanchfield and
they have picked up the ball, so to speak, and their company is going
to be the prime organisers.
They recently ran the World Masters Games in Christchurch, so they are very well equipped to run this event.
Good Bastards is going to set up a fund called The Good Bastards Help a Mate Fund and it will be the beneficiary from our side of things.
The Good Bastards Help a Mate Fund will raise money from various ways, and then assist Good Bastards that need a hand.
Things like someone wanting a new wheelchair or travel funds for an overseas operation.
Good Bastards will appoint a board that decides who we help and how. I have had initial talks with Ernst and Young, the accountants, to do the auditing.
So, we need a hand to get the word out to those who have a team fitting our very broad criteria and can participate in the tournament.
You might not be in a team, but want to be part of it all. Drop me an email paddy@goodbastards.com and we'll see if we can put together a Good Bastards Team (or two) in our own right as well.
Watch this space as details unfold about the event and supporting events. Just remember our slogan "Where too much humour is never enough" Now there's a clue as to some of our supporting events.
