LADIES DAY 2019
15th June 2019
Tomaree No 1 Oval, Nelson Bay Road
A return to an old style Ladies Day is precisely what Nelson Bay Rugby Club delivered on Saturday 15th June at Tomaree Rugby Ground. The venue may have changed for this year, but the faithful Ladies of the Groperdome certainly took the Elizabeth Waring Pavillion in their stride and made it their home for an exciting afternoon of ‘Rugby In Paradise’.
Jenna Wiringi, owner of ‘Picnic De Luxe’, put the “style” in the event creating a luxurious grazing table whilst keeping the old style traditions alive - the humble beetroot sandwich on the top shelf and standing strong. Jenna’s subtle presence not missing a beat in keeping the ladies palates sated. Genuine compliments to ‘Picnic De Luxe’ for making the occasion. Peter Drayton wines were a perfect match for Ladies Day, responsibly served by Grant Vincent.
Naturally, the Ladies Day patrons help the wheels turn smoothly sliding in to make more hands when honestly needed. The Ladies Day event was a small but equally special part of the much anticipated mega day of club rugby, proudly with a girls match included. Watching the Gropers play Singleton Bulls from the comfort of their own private balcony, the visiting Singleton ladies praised organisers, speaking of a “relaxed” atmosphere being felt and shared with our Bay ladies throughout the afternoon event. Traditionally, Singleton ladies day is held on a Nelson Bay opposing round.
Ladies Day raffle prizes were generously donated from local businesses within our wonderful community.
