Chargers Moo-vie Night: Love Simon at Cinema Nova
Cinema Nova
6:15 PM – 8:15 PM
You're coming on a cheeky Wednesday night moo-vie date, with Melbourne's gay and inclusive rugby union team, the Melbourne Chargers! Love Simon is the queer film of the year, and has been touted as the first major-studio-backed romantic comedy with a gay teen protagonist. Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. This event is a fundraiser to help support the Melbourne Chargers' bid to retain their title as the world champions of gay rugby, the Bingham Cup, in Amsterdam in 2018. Please meet in the cinema forecourt, near Brunetti's, from 6:00 PM. Our special screening will commence at about 6:30 PM.

07 Apr 2018 8:00 AM – 08 Apr 2018 5:00 PM
In 2018, the Chargers will be hosting players, coaches and team support staff at a weekend retreat in Allambee, in Gippsland. To ensure everyone who needs to be there can come, we've limited the required co-contribution from players to $30, with the club covering the remainder of the costs of the trip from our fundraising efforts*. To purchase a ticket, you are required to be a Financial Member of the Chargers and to login to TidyHQ. We have a huge calender of events planned for fans, supporters and friends of the club in 2018, but this event is about bringing the rugby department together. If you're not a player, coach, club official or staff member, we just don't think you'll have a very good time so please stay in Melbourne for the weekend. More information will be circulated among registered players about what to bring and where to meet to get the Bus to Allambee. If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Leon Kennedy, leon@melbournechargers.org. *The total cost of the event comes to about $105 per person; if you wish to provide additional support to the club to help run this event, please select one of the additional donation options as part of your order
