APAA ANNUAL LUNCHEON will commence at Noon and end at 2PM, September 12th
THE VENUE: Chairman’s Club Room, Ellerslie Convention Centre, Greenlane, Auckland.
GUEST SPEAKER: COLIN MEADS
Colin Meads was, deservedly, named Player of the Century at the NZRFU Awards dinner in 1999 and few would argue with his selection. “Pinetree” Meads remains something of a cult figure. A Colin Meads club still exists, with the members at their meetings wearing No. 5 jerseys, drinking 5oz beers and reading from “Colin Meads All Black”.
Table(s) of 10 are $900.00 and Single Tickets are $95.00

- DATE: Wednesday, August 20th
