So it’s been a long time since our tour and had some time to reflect. And just thought id leave a message to my (and everyone else’s) favorite town. Everyone was so friendly and really good at rugby. Anyway I just wanted to send this message to let everyone know that we are all doing fine, nothing has changed, our tans are gone but memories have lasted. We also have been suggesting ballina to all our friends who are traveling to Australia. CLub rugby has started and alot of the traveling team is on it. Thank you for having us, It made our tour much better, to be in a community like ballina

I, too, would like to thank the host families for having our children and being part of this wonderful opportunity they are having. What a memorable experience for them all. A special thank you to the family that is hosting our daughter, Cassandra. I know she has felt very welcomed. Thank you for your hospitality.

To all the Australian host families
I want to add my heart felt thanks for welcoming our children into your homes. I know my daughter is having the time of her life in your country. I can not begin to express my gratitude for the welcome they have received. My doors, as well as many others, will be open for reciprocation.
Thank you again
Sandra

Thank you so much! You have forever a special place in our hearts. Geographical distances mean nothing anymore. Now if only the parents could have been there too…

Dear Austalian Host Families,
As parents, we are so excited that our children are having their life time chance of experiencing Australia through their rugby tour. Thanks so very much for helping to make this dream come true for our kids. Hope we can do the same for your kids in Port Moody, Canada.

Hi All:
Thank you to the Ballina Rugby and Host Families for billeting our kids from Port Moody. Our daughter Krista had such a good time with you all.

It has been a trip of a life time for these kids and you made it so special for these kids to be staying in your homes.

Hopefully we can return a stay when your team comes our way!

Thanks again!

Hi back from one of the Ballina Rugby host families.
Thank you for your kind comments and I can assure you that the boys that are staying with us are both lovely young men, well mannered and make their beds!! (Although not yet willing to try vegemite on their toast.)
As Rugby is such a global family I’m sure you would all do the same for our boys.
Will try to post some photos here for you from this evening’s game and function.
Cheers
