In Memory of Gavin Brooks – Click Here MAGGOTFEST Maggotfest 2009 will be held the weekend of May 2nd and
3rd (Sat & Sunday). The team there (The Missoula Maggots) have
extended the offer of hosting us at the tournament. This entitles us to
white water rafting, free beer and our playing the Maggots on the Thursday
night which is the official start of the "festival". Again
the entire weekend is focused on camaraderie, beer guzzling and chasing women
(for the single lads of course) and a little rugby here and there.
The spectacle of the event is first rate - teams are encouraged to wear
outrageous outfits (games included), sing songs, boat race, meet like minded
people from across
Basically this itinerary is left fairly simple so we can
add or change plans as the TEAM requires and is subject to change to meet the
demands of the TEAM. The players who commit to this tour are requested to make a
non refundable $500 deposit to secure bookings. A seperate bank has been
setup (Thanks Dennis) where all monies will be deposited. For those (like
myself due to expensive computer gadgets and dentists) who don't have a spare
$500 hidden away, an automatic payment is more than sufficient. If you pay the deposit and wish to withdraw from the
ANT-Tour your money will be well spent on essentials whilst overseas. However
considerations will be made on a case by case basis. In the unlikey event of
the ANT-Tour being cancelled all monies will be refunded. You can expect costs of around $3000.00 plus spending
money. However we are in talks with a sponser and a possible flight deals
that will reduce costs. Please note that the funds for getting someone out of
jail will not come out of team funds, lol. There is also a expectation that those involved will make
themselves available for some fundraising events to help reduce costs, this
could include working bees etc etc. Also if you know of any fundraising or
sponsors please let us know (Mike P, Oscar and myself). If you wish to play a
more active role (help with admin etc) then please let me know. Bank account details will come with official registration
to Mike P. Any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call or
email (021 758580). Before I sign off, a big thanks to Mike and Oscar for
getting this off the ground. 28th June
21st June * ANT-iques (over 35’S) played with combined Ories ‘Magpie’ against Poneke
‘Pies’ on Sunday – pies and beer consume before and after.
Excellent annual event, our 3rd year mixing it with our masters
on/off the field. Good to see current ANT’s enjoying another social
form of the game - Matt O, * Maggot-fest rugby tournament
is a goer (May 2009, probably 6th – 20th). Budget
is capped at $3,000 for expenses except beer and lap dances (this is a
mid-state bus trip – private chartered). Mike ‘MP’
Plivelich is firming itinerary this week. We have 15, requiring a further 7
– 10 Players and Reserve Grade Team! Please RSVP me now! 07th June Jared rested a little happier on Sunday morning.
The newest, proudest Dad of the team, a baby son - Hagen Muir Thompson. As junior 'Thompy' was not clearing
from the "ruck area" properly, Rae is resting up fine now!
We'll done Captain. Maggotfest ( There is disquiet amongst the all the Reserve Grade
Managers aimed at the WRFU resource allocation i.e referees (none)
and ground transfers. This resulted in several Division 1 teams
defaulting (biting their nose off to spite face), as a consequence the
Ginners were gifted 5 pts, hence we are outright last of
10-teams. Therefore we are 99% consigned to division 2...so what changes
then? Only that we get to run up against like minded OBU Teams -
Righteous Bro's, Dinosaurs, Teddy Bears and The Yardies whilst still able to
play against club teams. Goals set we are to win Division 2 (been 4
years since we last won a title!) 22th May Last week we showed commitment and
passion, a traditional Dead Ants game. This week we expect nothing less. A no pay no play rule is now in
place, if you have not paid your subs you will not be playing unless
prior arrangement with myself (there are a couple of you already). Those that
have received socks from me last week, payment of $15 is also required for
these this coming week. I would suggest that those that need to cough up some
funds get in contact with me in the next day or two. Oscar is 90% sure he can’t be
present at this weeks game (something about man card expired?) so for those
that are unable to attend this weeks game can you email both Oscar and myself
(craig.quin@orcon.net.nz). Point of note is that this year we
will be selling the Dead Ant Jerseys at the end of the season to help offset
the costs of the Also, thanks to Silks, we have got
some apparel that we will offering to the team in the next day or so. Will
keep you posted. Important Management Notice AGM Minutes 2007 Presid-ANT Opening
