They built it...and peo-
ple came. On October
31, the UNBC Rugby
Club’s 2nd annual
Halloween Bash kicked-
off at the sold-out
Kinsman Hall, estab-
lishing itself as the pre-
miere Halloween event
among University stu-
dents in Prince George.

The foundation of the
event was put down
back in September,
when players, executive
and supporters alike
gathered to find ways of
surpassing the hugely
successful inaugural
event from the previous
year, and did they ever!
Listening to the suc-
cesses and shortcom-
ings of the previous
year, the organizers
fine-tuned the plan and
set the stage for a night
to be remembered. An
overwhelming response
of corporate sponsor-
ship in combination with
the dedication of key
organizers played into
the success of the
evening, keeping ticket
and beverage prices

Evening
Remembered

By Ryan Greenfield, Media Liaison, UNBC Rugby/Football Club

reasonable and provid-
ing a safe and friendly
environment for all peo-
ple involved. When
asked for their feelings
about the evening, most
people said that they
had a blast and would
definitely be back next
year.

With more than 350
people in attendance
and many more waiting
at the door, the night
came alive with the
free-flowing Pacific
Western beer and other
beverages, as well as
music by Lightning
Sound, who entertained
endless encores, even
in the early morning
hours when the lights
had come on. By the
end of the night, the
less sober members of
the UNBC Rugby Club
showed their apprecia-
tion for such support by
singing rugby songs
and taking off their
pants, putting yet anoth-
er memory into the
minds of those in atten-
dance.

To end the evening on

to

a safe note, the good
people at ICBC and
Laidlaw Transit provid-
ed a free shuttle home.
The members of the
UNBC Rugby Club
would like to extend
their sincere gratitude to
all supporters of the
event and the team.
The proceeds will be
put toward a tour down
the West Coast of the
United States, where
the team has _ high
hopes of putting UNBC
on the map as a rugby
and beer-drinking
power. Other proceeds
will go toward a fledg-
ling rugby scholarship
program as well as
junior development.
With plans already in
swing for next year’s
event, there is talk of
finding an even bigger
venue. The UNBC
Rugby/Football Club
will be planning social
events throughout the
year, so keep your eyes
open for further post-
ings.
