The occasion will be celebrated with a 3 halves of rugby today, with the old boys of the club strapping on the boots and putting on the colours once again, followed by festivities at the Hawarden Hall, with dinner and guest speakers to look forward to.

The Canterbury Events team will also be out at the Reserve this weekend, with the Club Day set up heading north to celebrate the birthday of a proud Northern club.
