National University Men’s Rugby Championships

Langara Lodge Online Auction Challenge

In order to help fund the National University Men’s Rugby Championships, being held Nov. 21st – 25th @ University of Victoria there will be an online auction challenge between the UBC Thunderbird Alumni and UVic Vikes Alumni. As the 6 teams in this championship only receive 50% of their funding, it is the goal of the committee to raise a total of $100k. Currently we have raised $80K toward that goal. As we have 2 schools from Ontario, 1 each from Quebec and the Maritimes, the costs for this year’s championship are very high. UVic and UBC make up the other two teams.
Rick Bourne (T-Bird Alumni) has offered up the following to be auctioned and suggested we have a challenge between the two alumni groups.

Here are the auction details:

• There will be 2 trips offered for auction to Langara Fishing Lodge.
• The highest bidder will receive a trip for 2 to Langara, that will include a personal guide and boat.
• The second highest bidder will receive a trip for 2 to Langara – this tour will be self guided.
• All airfare, meals, accommodation, boats, fuel, tackle, bait, wine with dinner, fish catch care are included in both packages.
• The minimum bid for each trip is $7,000
