UK Rugby Tour 2017 Dinner and Auction

Thank you to everyone who supported our 44 boys and attended the UK Rugby Tour 2017 Dinner and Auction on Wednesday 28 June at the Silks Lounge, Awapuni Racecourse in Palmerston North.

A great night was had by all. Over 200 people attended to listen to our guest speaker and former Lions Captain, Gavin Hastings, who entertained us with his rugby humour.

John van Lienen worked the crowd in his usual professional manner and generated an auction total of over $35,000 which will go a long way to helping the boys’ tour costs.

We also thank PNBHS Old Boy Hamish McKay for his MC duties and for travelling from Auckland to be with us on the night. 

Thank you to Creative Catering for their professional, friendly staff and excellent food.

A big thank you to all our sponsors. Without your generous support, this night would not have been possible.
