Join us November 3rd for the 2018 Scavenger hunt! Last year was a blast I’ve made a few changes to make the night even more successful. Players will be put into teams to locate different places, consume various drinks, and acquire specific items. But you must follow the rules!
• Be at Mulligans drink in hand at 8pm. There, I will review the rules, separate teams, and distribute the hunt
• You must be wearing something or everything Harrisburg Rugby
• Safety in numbers- your group must be together at all times
• Evidence is required for each drink/place/other shenanigan in order to receive points
• A drink must be consumed at each location (see rule above)
• Everyone bring one dollar, And the winning team gets the pot!
• Stay in bounds (I will tell you on the 3rd where the boundaries are)
• NO DRIVING! This includes uber!
• Do not sabotage your opponents but you will be rewarded for photo bombing
– Highlander: At any point you come across the person wearing a designated scarf you can challenge them to a chugging contest. You supply the beers. Winner takes or keeps the scarf. The team in possession of the scarf at the end earns an additional 10 points.
• You must meet back at Mulligans at 11:00pm NO EXCEPTIONS
• Judge’s ruling is FINAL!
• You are representing Harrisburg Rugby! This is a great opportunity for club bonding but also to get our name out there in a fun and positive light!
Improving on last year scoring will be more concrete not negotiated. Points will be tallied by more than one capable person. If you think you would like to help judge message me.
It is SUPER important you RSVP by Oct 31st. What could be more fun than 40 friends scouring downtown for all the ridiculous places, people, and things… that’s right NOTHING. RSVP and accept it before the 31st (BARBER) See you then!!!
Get a free sweatshirt for volunteering!!
We will be volunteering at the Harrisburg Marathon on Sunday, November 11th. This will be the same thing as the half marathon & marathon water stations last year. We were the best water station, hands down, in the entire race so let’s do it again!!
I need 10+ volunteers for this as well, more the better and bigger our cheer zone! Music, signs, cheering, all the high fives! Let’s make these runners smile for all 26.2 miles!
This will be from 8am – 1pm. Exact same duties and idea. I will need at least 10 committed individuals for this as well.
We will probably be at 2nd & Edwin Ave in Harrisburg again.
Details will be coming…eventually (if you think ruggers are last minute, the Y has us beat!)
Annual flag football game. All are welcome: club members, family, friends, others.
West Shore United Alumni match. All are welcome. $25 fee goes to the Sunshine Cup and gets you a t-shirt and match fee. This is a huge recruitment opportunity for the team.
Dear Members, Old Boys, Alumni of Harrisburg RFC, and Generous Donors,
It is with pleasure and excitement that we write this update to inform our family that we officially break ground on our permanent home this week – Friday, November 30th at 10:00am.
After 3 years of hard, and at times, stressful work, the wonderful Futures team has managed to secure our home, negotiating a fantastic deal with a consortium of contractors to break ground this week, getting us to stage 1 of our project.
Our sponsors in business and government grants has made this possible, not forgetting the members of this club and our gofundme donors who believed in the project and injected personal funds to help us get this off the ground. The initial stage of the project will give us a full size IRB field and near size training field to practice on. This will be the best facility for our sport on the East Coast, and one of the best in the USA.
This is wonderful news for our club but we need to keep pressing forward to finish the project. Many of our members, both past and present, said that they would donate once they see this project start! It’s time to make that donation, we are starting, and not finishing until we have the facility we dreamt of.
Ground breaking is going to be this Friday, November 30th at 10:00am, and we hope to have the local TV stations and press at the ceremony.
Our personal thanks go to all those who have dedicated so much time and effort to make this dream come true!
We are holding our Annual General Meeting on Sunday, December 2nd at 11am at the Londonderry Township building. It is your duty as a member to attend these meetings to be “in the know” about what is going on with the club, what events are happening and to have your voice heard via voting on topics that may arise during the meeting! Hope to see you there! Agenda will follow.
It is a voting year for the Board of Director and Committee Chair positions (minus 15’s coaches and captains), so keep an eye out for the nominations email.
