Deposits Now Due For World
Golden Oldies Festival
Scotland is only 12 months away and we need to
confirm our participation at the festival and secure our
accommodation. As you can imaging the cheap seats are selling fast.
At this time we have budget estimates, it's pretty
hard to get tour companies and airlines to confirm prices 12 months
out. We will have final prices and confirmation of the pre-tour by
1st December 2007.
Deposit Payable is $500.00 per
person
Your deposit is refundable less 50 pounds ($100)
prior to 31st December 2007 so don't miss out, print a registration
form and send in your deposit prior to the 15th September 2007.
As a guide, at the moment the approximate costs
look something like;
AUD$5,900 - Festival and the Pre-Tour including Air Fares,
Accommodation and the Festival Costs.
AUD$4,250 - Festival only including Air Fares and
Accommodation
AUD$2,500 - Festival only including Accommodation. Perfect
for those who want to organise their own travel and tours,
especially if you're lucky enough to be able to cash in frequent
flyers points.

Someone Remembers !!!!
We finally found someone who hasn't got Old Timers
Disease or killed too many brain cells during their Rugby tours to
provide us with a history, and photos, of the Gordon Stags from the
start. As the Stags were formed for the first Golden Oldies Festival
we've added the story to our
History Page.
Check out this photo of the first Stags side. Is
that really a Priest in the back row?
Thanks to Peter Goodman, one of the original
Stags, for the History and the Photos. We look forward to more
stories from the Stags past.
Pheatured Photo
Well it's been a while since our last Pheatured
photo so we'll include a couple here to entice you to go to the
2007 Photo Album.
Truth is, you don't need any encouragement. The
Photo Gallery is the most viewed page on the website with more than
28,000 hits. The next nearest is the Matches page with 450, You guys
sure like checking out yourselves ..er, Rugby photos.
It's not all Rugby and beer at the games.
There's always a little time to practice our synchronised ballet
moves. Apparently it's the wild card event at next years Olympics.
All Together Now.........
During the game is also the best time to work on
those Yoga moves. Here's Lloyd showing a surprising degree of
flexibility as he presents the ball at the ruck. That reminds me,
must get a new bike rack.
Downward Dog or Rising Moon

Kooky Kaption
Surprisingly we didn't get too many responses to
the Kooky Kaption competition. Thank God for one Stag who took to it
whole heartedly sending in many responses and even being prepared to
brainstorm around the BBQ during the Gordon Games. The prize goes to
Brad Horan for his response re-printed below.
Just what is our President, Bob
Lollback saying to Matt Fowler ????
"Well, I didn't go blind but you
probably don't want to take the chance"
Okay, we didn't say it was good but it was the
best of the bunch. Brad can pick up his free, all expenses paid,
beer at the next game of the end of year function.
