For non-rugby events, (the three Warriors games, in particular) tickets will be available to club members and the club boxes will be open if sufficient tickets for the games are sold.
As previously, we are charged for non-rugby events separately and we need to sell all box seats to cover our costs.
Also, members attending games and the clubrooms will need to show their membership cards to the security staff at Gate C. The cards are white this year and all 2014 season cards have been distributed to those who have paid their subscription.

Barbarians v Eagles golf match
For many years now, the Barbarians and Eagles clubs have challenged for a trophy to decide who are the better golfers.
The match has been set for Monday April 7 but the venue hasn’t yet been decided on.
We will let you know the venue and starting time as soon as we know but in the meantime, please contact the secretary and confirm your availability for the match.
Contact details are: Email: sec@brfc.co.nz or phone: 09-846-7241
Bar assistant needed
As previously mentioned, the club bar is a very important part of the club and operates to very high standards, under the stewardship of Dean Paddy.
With the ever increasing number of events and occasions where bar staff are required ‘for duty’, we would like to appoint another helper to assist Dean. While the role is unpaid, the club will pay for all costs associated with the requirement to gain a bar managers’ licence.
If you would like to be part of Dean’s team, please contact the secretary. Dean will be readily available to discuss all aspects of the job.
