PGG Wrightson Community Rugby Days
On these days our Community Rugby Partner PGG Wrightson gives every JAB Rugby player in the region a free ticket to the Makos game;
Nelson - 21 August Makos v Canterbury 2.35pm
Blenheim - 10 October Makos v BOP 4.35pm
An addition this also year is the Tasman Makos Mascot who debuted at the Makos v Canterbury game on 21 August. The playful shark (if their is such a thing) is already proving popular with kids and sponsor Andrew Marriott of Nelson Orthodontics says the Mascots pearly whites are pretty impressive...and in good condition.
