Honour BoardsAfter literally years of planning we managed to get a couple of great new honour boards up in August. They're still only about 90% correct but at least they're up and we're working on the finer details. One board is devoted to our illustrious life members. The other records the names of Collegians who have played 15 seasons or more of senior rugby for the club. We're calling these hallowed souls the "Quindecim" (it's Latin for fifteen, pronounced Quinn-DEC-um). NONE of you responded to our previous calls for nominations for the board so you'll understand if we're cranky about all and sundry coming up with bright ideas now that the board is on the wall! Seriously though, any corrections/suggestions should be emailed to us at kim@oldcollegiansrugby.org.au which will (eventually) be incorporated on the boards. Thanks to Stewart Douglas for all his hard work in designing and installing the boards.
Tom FarrahTom Farrah was over from Melbourne on the weekend of the
19th of July and played with the 3rds. Tom Farrah is Tim Farrah's
son. Tim left for Melbourne some years back so Tom would have been too
young to have played for Collegians', however the Farrah family are
extensive and have had a long connection to the club - refer to the page
on Dinny
Farrah, for instance.
Mark PickardMark Pickard has accepted an invitation to join the
board of the SARU. Mark is involved in rugby and business for many years
in Adelaide occasionally putting the boots on in Old Collegians’ lower
grades. Mark has been very supportive of and generous in developing both
the profile of our game and increasing participation levels in Adelaide.
Mark will bring passion and drive as well as his wide range of contact
and resources to the Board. Mark is a life member of OC. Alex RokobaroAlex Rokobaro, the son of Ben (Bulla) Rokobaro who
seemingly inhabits most club team photos from the 1970s and is still
playing, and a former Old Collegian having come up through the Juniors,
is now playing for the national Fiji team and will be up against Tonga
on the 17th of May. New

Born 9.09am, Monday 16 June
4 kgs, mother and child doing well
And pre-births (at August 2008):
Congratulations to Jon and Emma Collins who are happily expecting their second Collins-Suttell hybrid bundle of joy. Congratulations also to Richie and Esme Jasko and to Belinda Wade and husband Michael Lindo who are also likewise in the family way. Confirmed that there's something in the water.
4th September 2008:
Ben Hamer & Cat are bolting to Lewes Rugby Club in Sussex (http://www.lewesrfc.org.uk/) on the 4th of September. Good luck to you both.
And Rory Sheppeard has bolted off to England as well.
Saturday 5th July:
Farewells for Philippa "Pip" Shell & James Hayden
Pip is off to the border country of England (for those geographically-challenged, the border between England & Scotland) and James is off to Cheltenham in Gloucester in the west country of England, where he assures me they don't speak with a west-country accent, that is, not like my own rellos, then.
... PH July 8th 2008(Note: Larger formats of the pictures below can be found on the pages for July5th 2008 ...)
Nacho & Angel
The 17th of May also saw the farewell of Nacho & Angel, our two Spanish boys from Seville who have played three or so games with us this season, pictured below with Kim Evans. They're both off travelling, with the Flinders Ranges being the next stop for them as they head home, the slow-way.
Tom Horne has been offered a place at the RMC Duntroon and started in January 2008.

June 2008 - After the first jump
Tara Naige is heading off to Tonga to work as an Australian Youth Ambassador for Development doing health promotional work for the next 12 months trying to help with weight (and resulting heart disease and diabetes) problems, running fitness sessions and pool work and so on. A fantastic experience and no doubt Collegians' will be contacting her for some brief stays in a tropical paradise. Tara will set up a .mac website up so that we can keep up to date with her blog and photos. Good luck, Tara.
