All Colleagues
I would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank all of our returning sponsors and financial supporters for 2020. The support of the Bellevue / Oak Hotels, Qube Logistics, Sharp IT, Fortius Funds Management, Escala Partners, Kemosabe Capital, Belle Property Surry Hills, Ryans Bar, Gordon Brothers, Verandah Bar, Mad Hatters, Jan Logan, SV Partners, QGS, Woodstock Resources and new sponsor Flagon Dry Productions allows our rugby club to function week in week and out provide an opportunity for everyone to have a game of footy.
We had a great trial against Bowral last weekend with over 40 blokes having a hit out, a great result for the first trial with over 4 weeks until the regular season was due to start…With incredible numbers of new players, returning colts and grade players alike turning up to pre-season, 2020 is shaping up to be a cracking year for the Blue Giants!!
With one hiccup…..
As you will all have seen by now, the ARU has postponed the commencement of all community rugby until early May. This includes tournaments, training and scheduled matches. The ARU and their in house health professionals are obviously watching the developing situation closely and will keep all clubs closely advised.
At this stage, we are also planning to postpone our annual Long Lunch which was scheduled to be held on Friday 8th May and Old Colleagues Day, Saturday 9th May. Please watch this space closely as we will lock in a new date as soon as we are 100% confident we can provide a safe environment for everyone to enjoy themselves and shake hands with their mates! With a disrupted season, we strong urge everyone to get behind the lunch, when we know the date, as we will need all your support!!
As Colleagues, we are unfortunately not able to sanction any training events until further notice. Our upcoming charity Bondi Tens tournament and trial games have had to be cancelled. Our fitness coach is currently putting together individual programs for those interested (please contact Matt directly) and will also issue a general club fitness plan that we encourage everyone to partake in, good for players and those retired alike!!
Players, please keep an eye on team group chats and social notices for further updates.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any feedback, questions or comments.
Stay safe, stay healthy and we look forward to welcoming you down to Blue Giant Stadium soon!!
All the best,
Cam Ireland
