OLD ENOUGH FOR A BUS PASS? THEN YOU’RE OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE PART IN THE FIRST ALL WALES GOLDEN OLDIES RUGBY FESTIVAL IN 2011!
The search is still on for teams of ‘geriatric rugby players’ game enough to take part in a Golden Oldies festival in Caernarfon next week.
6 teams have signed up and we are actively looking for like minded old fogeys to join us. Un- capped players are as welcome as Gareth, Gerald and JPR.
Players must be over 35 years old, breathing and still hankering for those glorious days of amateur rugby.
The All Wales Golden Oldies festival is based on fun, friendship and fraternity while maintaining a rather distinguished and genteel competitive edge. It is designed to be all inclusive regardless of age or fitness. Special rules mean that there are concessions for advancing age, increasing fragility and diminishing pace! Concerned partners are actively supported by eager bar staff and caterers.
The 2011 Golden Oldies Rugby Festival will be a one day event, and will take place on June 11th with registration at 10.00a.m. and the first game at 10.30a.m.
This inaugural Golden Oldies festival has been arranged following the overwhelming success of the 10th European Festival held at Caernarfon last summer which saw 32 teams from mainland Europe and further afield competing, with players ranging from 35 to 74 years old.
Caernarfon hosted 1,000 visitors during the event creating a wonderful atmosphere in the town and surrounding areas.
The organisers, Y GOGS (Geriatrics o Gymru) (from Wales) are a team of over 35s based in Caernarfon, who still love their rugby as well as the hwyl and camaraderie that go with the sport…. It is their wish to share with all the experience of this great event and enjoy our national sport. Their take on the Irish mantra is ‘there are no strangers in rugby - only friends yet to be met’
This is an opportunity not to be missed, great craic coupled with the chance to re- enact those magical rugby memories ……… in slow motion!
