Let me extend my warmest congratulations to you, in particular all the people who are responsible for making this tour possible because without that level of commitment, dedication and sacrifice it would not have been achievable.
To all of our sponsors, donors and contributors in time, effort, support and kind, we thank you very much for your generosity. We thank LinCon for their support along with our other sponsors Visy and North Brisbane Home Loans. We look forward to future engagement and promotion of your businesses and will carry your company name and logos proudly.
The tour will offer so much opportunity for these young men; for the majority, it will be their first travel experience across the globe. They will meet new people, make new friends, experience new cultures and climates different from their own. This rugby experience will have a great impact on them as players; they will be able to measure themselves and their abilities as a team, individual and as a club. They will encounter rugby at a different level and come into contact with new coaching and training techniques. The highlight and culmination will be the participation in an International Junior Rugby Tournament!
To the Mums and Dads, Guardians, Families and Friends who remain at home, we will endeavour to keep the tour story alive via this Blog and ensure your son stays in touch with you while on his rugby journey.
To the Management Committee, I give my warmest congratulations and thank you all for your commitment and dedication to the challenge of pulling the tour together. To everyone that participated in fundraising, helping with the training program and those that were co-opted into completing the many small tasks, I thank you again.
We thank the Albany Creek GPS Junior Rugby Union Football Club for supporting and endorsing the tour, along with the encouragement and support from our parent unions - Brisbane Junior Rugby Union, Queensland Rugby Union and the Australian Rugby Union.
I wish the players and Management Team a wonderful and successful tour! I am sure we will all look back on this experience in later life and feel extremely proud that we took the chance and DID IT!!"
