After this head for a cold beer at Trader Jacks in town, those of you not playing join the rest of the guys at approximately 2.30pm.
For the Vaine Manea - they say only the bride should be seen in white, this is your opportunity to stand out, all vaine manea coming along should wear white. That's right wear white!!!
Join me on my last night of being "Makea Teono" Time and location to be confirmed. For those of you who are a bit more adventurous, there is a Pub Crawl Bus on Friday night which goes around the Island and stops off at various locations, I think it starts at Trader Jacks and returns back to Traders.
