50th Jubilee March 18, 2016

A total of 59 past and present members attended the evening.  The subcommittee of seven decorated the rugby club rooms in the club colours of black and white.

Committee minutes, photos, certificates, trophies, along with Kaponga’s past and present uniform were on display.

Current president,  Les Symes, welcomed everyone and gave an overview of the club format and the success of the club members to date.  A buffet meal was enjoyed while five young members wearing the current uniform waited on the tables after an address from club patron and life member Peter Ellison.

Past president Geoff Harding recalled former days, followed by past member Natasha Cameron, who spoke mainly to the five young members urging them to enjoy athletics as it opened doors to all other sports.

The cake, made by parent member Kylie Taylor was cut by four life members, Mike and Helen Cameron, Peter Ellison and original life member Jean Christensen.
