Although not sitting on that table I would also like to say it was a pleasure to finally meet the"Willow". Great effort just to be there.

so how was the night people- what auctions of memrobillia did they have?

 

[Willow]

I scored a stone flagon of Penfolds port with a picture of Saints 1986 team on it... definitely a collectable.

Benny:
They had a number of prints up for auction and signed jerseys including the 1965 Saints/Souths joined jersey... I was keen to get that but it started at $1000 which was out of my reach straight away. I think it went for $1300.

Reg certainly struggled didn't he , really laughed when Raper yelled out for somebody to put a bag over him ... Yes we did burst into song upstair's . Why I don't know , perhaps to let the world know there are still St.George people alive and unafraid ....again really enjoyed meeting you .....

 

[imported_Saint_Benny1]

how much did that go for if you don't mind me asking Willow?

 

[Willow]

It was $70, Benny.
Only thing I could get really... everything else being too big for the plane trip.

G'day Willow,

I've got the photos of the night ready, and I'm sure the R2K authority will email them to you soon, but I've also got some of our table that I want to send to you. Is the Saints on TV contact email the best address to send them to?

The after drinks are just a hazy memory but the songs that I can remember were "God save the queen" Vs "We all live in a Catholic regime (yellow submarine?)" and, of course, afirey rendition of "We are the St.George Boys"

Great Night!

T.B

 

[Willow]

Thanks TB.
Yes the SOTV email is fine. Be sure to get my best side...
Depending on the quality of the pics, we might whack them up here... lol

I'm absolutely certain that I DID NOT sing'God Save the Queen' .. crikey ...lol

I did join in 'We Are The St George Boys' and was surprised that I knew all the words.

Havent heard yet from the main driving force behind the R2K dinner yet... Adrian goes under a nickname in this forum and I think its worth noting that without him, the night would not have happened.
Thanks mate.

So true Willow,
Adrian for those who don't know is a Canberra based fan whose only crime is
he loves the club to death. It's his love and passion for the team that has
got him in trouble in the past. However he has matured with time and is
becoming a model citizen.
He is one of the fans that follows the team where ever they play,
Townsville, Brisbane, Melbourne ,etc. He is the person at the end of the
Brisbane game that was thanking God for that miracle win. The photo can be
seen right here on SAINTS ON TV. He also wrote the reply to Mr Lockwoods "Rat
Bags" article.
So Adrian together with all the R2K team and every other supporter who won't
let the Kogarah Issue get swept under the carpet, take a bow.
