Kiwis To Visit Christchurch Next Week

Auckland, New Zealand April 28, 2011 – A number of Kiwi league players will be in Christchurch next Wednesday May 4, 2011 to visit a hospital, schools and attend an NZRL Community Carnival.

Glen Turner (Raiders), a local junior, will be joined by Nathan Cayless (Eels), Chase Stanley (Storm), Sam Perrett and Anthony Cherrington (Roosters).

They will start the day with a visit to the children’s ward at Christchurch Hospital, before meeting with the Mayor at the Arts Centre. They will be taken to see some of the damage in the city, before visiting two local schools, Wainoni Park and Hornby High.

Later in the afternoon they will attend a Community Carnival, to be held at Cuthbert’s Green from 4 – 5pm, where locals will be able to mix with the players, see the Rugby League World Cup and Four Nations trophy, have photos and get autographs.

The players will finish their day by spending time with Canterbury Rugby League staff and their guests.

Early on Thursday morning, players will join a group of Christchurch fans and emergency workers who are travelling to the Gold Coast for the VB Test as guests of the NZRL, Jetstar, Gold Coast Tourism and ATHOC.

All Christchurch league fans are welcome to come along to the Community Carnival at Cuthbert’s Green to meet the players and see the silverware.
