𝐆𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐘 ‘𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐒!! 🐬🏉 With the Noosa Rugby Union Club soon to be celebrating their 40th birthday 🎉🎉it was fabulous to drop in to their clubhouse to check out their plans for a major refurbishment with Vice President Jon Lewis. With the club ‘bursting at the seams’ from a start 4 decades ago of 2 teams, to now 17 sides including our fabulous women’s 15 a-side teams, this will accommodate them and allow the club to compete for international teams to use the facilities as training grounds in the upcoming men’s 2027 and the women’s 2029 Rugby World Cup 🏆 as well the 2032 Olympics 🥇 With the beautiful ‘tree of knowledge’ to stand proudly over the vision, it was lovely to learn of its history where it was relocated from the Reef Hotel over 3 decades ago as a ’youngster’ (it took 10 men to dig it out!) and where now it gives shade, calm and a home for the ashes of much loved volunteers who all those years ago worked so hard for our community. ![]()
