Invitcus, Polar Bear Game, AGM
The local Fort Wayne Area Rugby Teams have united together for a showing of Invictus. The movie stars Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman, and is directed by Clint Eastwood. It not only the story of the South African Rugby World Cup victory in 1995; the first global sporting event that South Africa could participate in with the end of Apartheid.
We have rented the Carmike Theater on Dupont and Diebold road for Sunday, December 13. The doors open at 10:30 a.m. and the movie starts at 11:00. The cost is only $5.75 per person. Friends and Family are welcome.

Since it is getting close to Christmas, we encourage everyone to bring canned or boxed food to donate to the local charities.

The theater will seat 250 people and we are hoping to fill all the seats. Ruggers and rugby fans are encouraged to wear their respective rugby team jerseys.

Our annual Polar Bear game will be held directly after the game at Northside park. This is a 'friendly' match of motley players from Fort Wayne or near Fort Wayne between the 'Black' and the "Blue".
We will also, again, attempt to have the AGM at O's after the polar bear game.
