Dear Fellow Golden Oldie

2010 GOLDEN OLDIES RUGBY FESTIVAL - SYDNEY

I am pleased to invite you and your team mates to dust off your boots and join us in Sydney in 2010. The Golden Oldies ethos of Fun, Friendship and Fraternity will be truly evident in Sydney as we host what will be the largest gathering of Rugby Golden Oldies players and supporters in the history of the movement.

There will be a smorgasbord of events surrounding the festival to allow all to be involved, including a City Street Parade, Opening Night Cocktail Party, a picnic and BBQ day in the famous Hunter Valley wine region, the opportunity to attend the Business Expo, and of course the glittering Grand Finale Awards Dinner.

Our playing venue is the historic and beautiful Centennial Parklands, offering an idyllic setting. The Parklands are located in the heart of Sydneys Eastern Suburbs, within a close proximity to Sydneys CBD district. The Parklands can accommodate up to 35 specifically made playing fields, allowing all matches to be played in a single location. A central hospitality Marquee with seating for 2000 plus will be created to provide food, beverage and entertainment where players and partners can cool down and enjoy the international atmosphere.

The 2010 Festival Ambassador is the former Wallaby Captain Mark Ella. Mark will be on hand to welcome you to Sydney and explain the wonderful delights that only Sydney can offer.

It is our endeavour to deliver a Festival of the highest calibre and we welcome all teams to contact us with any enquiries no matter how big or small. We can also assist with pre or post match games, as well as introductions to clubs during your stay in Sydney.

Please find attached our information brochure and please email us at allan@argorugby.com.au with any questions. Please also forward this email to any of your Golden Oldie mates you think may be interested.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney in 2010.

Kind Regards


Allan Forno
