2011 Players Dinner rocks Kelvin Grove
The 2011 UCTRFC dinner was once again held at Kelvin Grove, and, being the world cup with SA still in the hunt the theme was formal with a touch of bokke. The event also doubled as the League Winning Victory celebration as it was held on the day of the final match.
Unlike last year’s event there were a few more hiccups the next day, thanks to the wise words of encouragement from one of the guest speakers on the night-Dobbo. Apart from numerous breakages, using the wrong bars and a waiter nearly losing his life, there were no serious ramifications and our name may still be in-tact at Kelvin Grove. Altogether, about 190 people attended the dinner – players, partners, coaches, managers, physio’s and of course the Ikeys Vibe Masters.
Our two guest speakers were John ‘Dobbo’ Dobson and Robert ‘Flekkie’ Fleck. Their well prepared and thought out speeches played out to the crowd very well, a great message came across and the players seemed to have a good appreciation of what was said.
