Getting some rugby training in with Api Naikatinin from the Wellington Hurricanes Squad
Hello Nin and Sean,
I would just like to say many thanks to you and your "team" for the programme provided last week.
The activities, coupled with the very warm weather, certainly made for tired but happy bodies at the end of each day!
Max had an enjoyable two days - proof enough - and is considering the four day January camp (dependent on holiday plans).
So, thanks again to Wellington Hockey, yourselves, coaches, administrators, etc. for making such a fantastic opportunity available to the children.
Also, Max thoroughly enjoyed the food provided on both days, so please pass on our thanks to the hard, behind the scene workers!!
Our sincere thanks, and best wishes to you and your families for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Sandra and Brandon Syme and family (Max and Olly)
