Official end to the season with the presentation of awards yesterday evening. The star to hand over the prizes to the players was Alama Ieremia , though Joe was not to shake his hand in thanks this year.
A learning experience was had though by the parents, one which many others have had I am sure.
We made a collection for the coaches, and bought the vouchers ourselves, only for some of the other parents not to stump up their contribution. so end result, poorer in pocket but richer in inner glow.

Keas night out
Friday night was a dads and sons night at Keas. An evening of fun and a sleep over in the scout hall with the boys. It included a visit to the train control centre to see how the men control the trains in the north island from Wellington. Then another train journey, a meal at McDs, and then a trip to Khandallah park to see the glow worms. Thankfully the boys were asleep by midnight, though up at six. Five and a half hours sleep on a mattress in a sleeping bag.
Isaac was very pleased that his dad was available this year, having gone all the way to England last year to escape. Fatherhood eh.
