We need help for a couple of hours on the nights the Chiefs play to assist with car parking for the spectators.The first night is Friday 15 February from around 5pm till 7pm.

If you can spare the time or need to know more the "sign on" sheet and details are on the notice board in the club rooms. Alternatively get in touch with Bruce Cresswell on the number in the Programme Book

Hamilton Sevens

Submitted by Dave on Thu, 31/01/2019 - 05:38

Last weekend on Saturday and Sunday Hamilton hosted the New Zealand round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens at the FMG Stadium. Our Club uses car parking at the Sevens and other games at FMG as a fund raiser for the Club. This year the Sevens car parking brought in excess of $3000 to the Club funds.
Organising the parking for the first time was Bruce Cresswell who has taken the job over from Nigel G the previous leader of the team running the parking on the day. Bruce started out with the biggest event of the year but had excellent support making the two day event a successful fund raiser.....
Bruce C and the Police....
