The curtainraiser will be a match between local first XV teams from Tokoroa and Forest View High Schools.

Entry to the 3.30pm game is free. Car parking will cost $2 and all funds raised will go to South Waikato Junior Rugby.

Junior swimmers interested in improving their swimming and/or competing in swim meets are invited to join the Tokoroa Swimming Club. The club holds club nights every second Thursday from 6.30pm starting on August 16. Membership costs just $100 for a competitive swimmer, which enables swimmers to compete at swim meets throughout New Zealand. A non-competitive membership is $50. This fee enables the swimmer to compete in the Tokoroa Classic swim meet only and participate in all other club activities. Pool entry is paid on top of this fee.

Head to the Tokoroa Swimming Club club night on Thursday, August 16 at the Indoor Pools to have a go and discuss your swimming options.
