IRB Sevens 2008 - The Final Leg(s)
Where were you last year?
Where will you be this year?
Well…..don’t wait to ask the people who will be there “How was it?”. Be there!
Lots of Kenyans are travelling from far and wide to be there…..if not both events at least one. So, UTASHANGILIA UKIWA WAPI???
Here are a few details regarding the event:
Full fixtures and pools for both venues can be found in the IRB Sevens website.

As usual, Kenyans get tickets as cheap as they are sold but we always manage to congregate in one area.
In London, the cheapest are £10 per day.
In Edinburgh, tickets are £25 if booked in advance for two days or £15 per day at the door. Concession tickets are cheaper. Advance tickets come with a Sombrero token redeemable on the day subject to availability.
Bring along anything Kenyan and noice making items - whistles, drums, horns and of course….YOUR VOCAL CHORDS.
Fancy dresses are most definately welcome……!
Well, I told you I would keep you posted on the afterparties……here are the details:
LONDON
Saturday - Still waiting for the flyer by email. I will upload it soon.
Sunday
EDINBURGH
Saturday and Sunday - The afterparties will be in the same venue. On Sunday, Dj Edu will be playing at another venue, but I am confident Dubwise, Sparks and guests will do a smashing job.
P.S.

The rest of you bloggers who will be there…….look out for me in the Kenyan flag and camera.
