2011 Rugby Alumni Dinner

The Lions Rugby Alumni Association is pleased to announce that Joe’s Mill Hill Saloon & Eatery has welcomed us back (with open arms if you can believe it) for our 8th Annual Alumni Dinner.

We hope all can attend what can only be described as the rugby social event of year!   Feel free to bring significant others, friends, and family (well, the cool ones that is).  Details are below.

• When: Saturday January 29, 2011
• Where: Joe’s Mill Hill Saloon & Eatery, 300 South Broad Street, Trenton NJ (corner of South Broad & Market St)
• What: Dinner 6-8pm (RSVP requested), Drinks 8pm – Close

It will be “pay your own way” again this year with the same set up – dinner in the back room then drinks and general debachery in the main bar. We will be ordering off the menu and splitting the bill again – it worked just fine last year and wasn’t too expensive (about $25 a person, which included dinners and about million pitchers of Guinness!).

Remember, while the bar does accept credit cards, they request we bring CASH to make it easier for them and faster for us. 

RSVP:
Please RSVP to lionsrugbyalumni@gmail.com by January 15, 2010 indicating whether you will be joining us for dinner at 6pm, drinks at 8pm, or both (and the number of non-ruggers accompanying you).  Your timely response will be greatly appreciated!

Parking Information: Street parking will be available – there is a small lot across Market St, and plenty of neighborhood street parking on Mercer & Jackson streets (merely one block from the bar). There is also the Lafayette Street Garage next to the Marriott.  The cost for this can be include with the hotel costs for those staying the night (see below for group rate info).

Accomodations:
Trenton Marriott

The Marriott is less then a 10 min walk (even shorter cab ride) from the saloon. We currently have 20 rooms held under a group rate for the night of January 29, 2011.  The price includes parking and if split between a few people isn’t half bad.  The cut off date to make your reservation and get the group rate is January 8 – so book now and don’t miss out!  Also, they have a great cancelation policy (by 4pm on the day of arrival), so it’s best to book now and cancel later if need be.  

GROUP RATE: $ 94.00 – This includes the parking fee but not state and local taxes.

Guests may make their reservations by calling Marriott’s reservation line (888) 796-4662 and requesting the “The College of New Jersey Rugby” group block.

We look forward to seeing everyone out this year – pass the word along – talk it up – it will be a rucking good time!
