Here are the details for our annual banquet. We will also be using this platform to honor our long time referee and excellent friend to all of rugby, Terry Day. Terry has finally retired from many years of being the best ref ever to step on any field and we intend to honor him as all that and more. Terry has agreed to prepare a speech for the ceremony. We will also be starting the Fort Lauderdale RFC Hall of Fame. This will recognize people who have been instrumental in making the club what it is today, with contributions on and off the pitch.
The Details
Date: September 25
Time: 7:00 – 11:00pm, then downtown until ???
Put it on your calendar NOW and make arrangements to attend.
Location: Inverrary Hotel and Resort
3501 Inverrary Blvd. Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33319
Cost: $25.00 per person before September 20, $30.00 per person thereafter
Buffet style dinner with desert and 2 free drinks at the bar, there will be cash bar available if you want more than 2 drinks. We will try to get the same DJ who was at Littleman’s 60th birthday party.
Dress code: Smart casual.
We encourage you to get decked out if you wish but sharply dressed will be fine. This is normally a formal event so don’t show up in jeans and a t-shirt. Well, I guess you could, but you will look and feel out of place when Tom Wright shows up in a full blown tuxedo!
We require that you make reservations and payment ahead of time so we have an accurate count to give the catering people at the Inverrary hotel. You may prepay with cash or check to Littleman, Mark Etue or Sarah Bradley. You may also click on the link below to pay directly through the website. All transactions are 100% secure. Please be sure to include your email address as your receipt will be emailed to you. You may also pay at the door, but it will cost you $30.00 per person and you must call ahead of time so we know you will be coming. There will be no way to accommodate a run at the door of 30 people and prepare food for them. So, even if you plan to pay at the door, please contact either Mark, Sarah or Littleman ahead of time and let them know you plan to attend.
We welcome members of other area clubs to attend in order to honor Terry Day and give him a proper sendoff and show appreciation for all he has done for rugby over the years. We expect a big turnout for this affair. Make sure you are part of it!
