    has anyone been to one of these before? it's basically a tag rugby tournament with music, entertainment, disco thrown in. not really interested in the tag side of things but ive heard it's a great laugh, especially if the weather is decent.

    it's on out in old crescent rfc, july 12th, this saturday

    Supposed to be great fun, one of the best tag events in country apparently. Nearly 100 teams entered this year, so should be good crowds. Hope the weather holds up.

    Great day out. Whether you play or not. If your not playing then head out their about 3 or 4 and the finals should be on, and all the teams that are knocked out will be on the beer, with bands playing etc and a big pig on a spit.

    Never played in it but know one of the fellas who runs it. It is well run with huge crowds, good crack and even better talent. I think last year rained a bit and the year before was hot. It need god weather though not this crap.

    Rained a bit?

    We had to hold the shelter tent down to stop it taking off. Plus the bouncy castle rolled over. Not your nicest weather that year.

    I spent a few hours out there earlier. A great event. Well organised and run.
