PBRFU VIP CLUB

An evening at the Sandown to introduce the proud PB Representative rugby team to their 30 sponsors, was a resounding success. Any opportunity for sponsors to meet and socialise with those who wear their logos and represent them at National level, should be encouraged to the benefit of all parties. Guest speaker, All Black Selector Earle Kirton, was flown to Gisborne for the occasion, courtesy of Air NZ.
