Social activities

Tour 2022

We are just 6 months out from the tour. We have 33 people signed up so far and have a couple more that have shown interest.

The tour is open to all Scribes and friends of Scribes, so feel free to share the tour poster with them. We expect the tour will cost $2,000, but can be reduced with some additional fundraising. To help with organizing & payment plans we have requested that payments be completed up to $1,000 by February 2nd. This is refundable up to March 15th as hotel deposits need to be paid then.

We are entering a men & womens team into the George Street 7s and playing the Baymen (men & women’s sides) while in St. Johns and have arranged to take on Halifax Tars in Halifax to finish off the tour. There are additional activities being arranged for the group including brewery tours, scenic tours and local traditions such as getting screeched in..
