Naenae Old Boys Cricket Club - 75th Jubilee Celebration Weekend

Our club is reaching a significant milestone in its history – 75 years old. Accordingly, we will be celebrating this milestone over the course of the 2020/21 summer. The festival events of these celebrations will be held over the Easter weekend – Friday 2 April 2021 to Sunday 4 April 2021.

We welcome all present and past members, family and friends of the club to join us for a weekend of fun, reunion and celebration of our great club.

The programme for the weekend is as follows:

• Friday 2 April 2021 – “A night at the club”. Drinks, nibbles and plenty of catching up with old friends at the clubrooms at Naenae Park.

• Saturday 3 April 2021 – “A day of competition Friendship, Pride & Commitment”. Various sporting options detailed below.

• Saturday 3 April 2021 – “The Gala Dinner – This is your life Naenae Old Boys”. 6pm til late at The Silverstream Retreat. A banquet dinner with Mr Bryan Waddle as MC, a guest speaker and a walk down the memory lane of the club.

• Sunday 4 April 2021 – “Bowls, BBQ and a recovery session”. A mid-morning roll-up with a BBQ lunch at the Massey Bowling Club – hosted by Mr Paul Freeman.

The sporting options for Saturday afternoon are:

• A game of cricket to be held – we are attempting to secure the Basin Reserve but that is to be confirmed yet.

• Golf – golfers will play for the inaugural ‘NOBCC Presidents Cup’.

• Bowls – for the more debonair members, a game of bowls will be arranged.

The organising committee is well advanced on plans for the Easter weekend celebrations and we welcome you to register to attend. Obtaining early registrations is critical for our logistical planning – we are planning to put on a fantastic weekend for you to catch up with old friends and celebrate the history of the club. We are also aware of many who are planning to travel to attend.
