A special Thanks to Cobourg Rotary
The Saxons were first given the opportunity to run the Rotary parking lots during the 2005 Cobourg Waterfront Festival.
The money generated from that venture was used to purchase some much needed practice equipment and the balance was turned over to the Pitch Steering Committe for deposit into a savings acount.
This money, along with the money generated this past July long weekend will be used to purchase land for future pitch and clubhouse development. A portion of the proceeds from this year's revenue was also donated, on behalf of the Cobourg Saxons; to the trust fund created for Sarah and Jack Thompson. Sarah and Jack are the children of the late Ian Thompson of the Oshawa Vikings. Ian passed away earlier this year during a rugby match against the Cobourg Saxons.
The Saxons, using some of the proceeds from the first day of parking along with personal donations from club members managed to donate over $1200 to the trust fund for Sarah and Jack . The Saxons hope to donate more money in the future and further honour their friend, Ian.
Once again thank you to Cobourg Rotary for this opportunity. Thank you also to Lee Cattell for all his efforts in organizing this venture. Thanks also go out to all club members who donated their time over the busy July long weekend.
We are another step closer to realizing our goal of having our own pitch and clubhouse.
Congratulations to David Savoie
