Believing in the power of sport - Nelson Mandela

The Nobel Peace Prize winner I most admire is Nelson Mandela. He was born in 1918 in South Africa. Even after the apartheid system ended, discrimination and conflict remained. He thought that supporting the rugby team, the Springboks, would bring the country together. In 1995, the Rugby World Cup was held in South Africa. In the final match against New Zealand, the Springboks won the championship with everyone in the stadium, black and white, cheering for the Springboks. This victory meant a lot to the people and was a moment when the nation felt united. This is one of the many achievements of Nelson Mandela.

If rugby's not your thing then just come for the dinner, or movie or both! It's up to you!
Hope to see you there!!

Dinner starts around 8:30pm. Movie start time 9:30pm. Rugby kickoff 12:00

The British and Irish Lions

The Lions are touring South Africa, not so much on safari as stalking Springboks. There will be three Test Matches on June 20th, 27th, and July 4th. The Second and Third Tests will be shown on our big screen at Luna. Kick off is at midnight (live from SA...) Entrance is free if you can name 5 legends featured in this video clip, or if you are wearing your club/country rugby shirt. Come one, come all, and bring something for the 'Boks to choke on :)

Remember, these fixtures only come around once every 12 years: the secret password on the door is "ninety-nine". Tell a friend.
