Ya Never Leave With What Ya Brung

One of the great things about these festivals is "kit" trading. Each team has jerseys, polos, t-shirts, and various other items that they have made for each Festival. The Olde' Barking Dogs t-shirts were very popular at the Edinburgh Festival in 2008! Below you will see the front and back of those shirts.

You will also see after the last matches of the week a few people trading Festival jerseys. To date, I have traded both of mine for other team's at each Festival. In the photo below is Dan "McGroin" Holden on the left, an Olde' Barking Dogs Edinburgh team mate, and Marty "Slabbs" Rogers, who played for the Eastwood Charcoals of Sydney, Australia. They have traded jerseys with eachother.

Marty is another Festival participant I have kept in contact with since the 2008 Festival. He will actually be picking myself and my two room mates up at the airport in Sydney when we arrive next week after 20sum hours of air travel. That, my friends is what Golden Oldies Rugby is all about! Fun--Friendship--Fraternity.
