Funny how the coach of the U12's and the other organiser helping me are travelling in their own cars and I am on the bus with 34 pubescent boys. Real Funny.
Anyway, I have another father and 2 mothers coming along from my team to help out and there are 5 fathers going from the U12 team, so I wont be alone on the bus, thank goodness!
Once there the boys are all being billeted out by families of the boys they will be playing the following day and the adults are bussed to a motel for free time until 9am Sunday when we are picked up for the trip over the hill to the Rugby grounds for the big games! (Red Bull check-in here!)
It should be a great trip. We hosted their U12 and U13 teams last year and it was a lot of fun. We had 2 great boys stay in our home and a fun time was had by all. This year of course we are the U13's so will see most of the same boys again.
This exchange is a tradition our clubs have had for years and is nice to be a part of it. Of course I have never been on a rugby trip before, for obvious reasons, so have packed my gumboots because I have heard they can get a bit 'messy'.
My 2 wishes for the weekend are:-
1. We find somewhere to watch the All Blacks play the Wallabies and
2. The bus driver likes to drive in silence!!!!!!!!!!
Have a good weekend all.
This is Thomas and Toby with the 2 boys we billeted from the Kaikorai team last year, 2007, when they were all U12's.
