Facts

Pingvin Rugby Club is based in Trelleborg in the south of Sweden and close to Copenhagen , Denmark . Pingvin RC has youth teams ranging from seven to nineteen years old, two senior teams, a ladies team and an old boys team. Apart from several years as Swedish champions in the 90-ies, the club has also put its name on the rugby map as host of the large International Youth Tournament (Trelleborg Rugby Festival) that is held annually every August.

 

The Easter Games tournament has changed name and size many times since it was first held 1991, but has always been a popular local attraction.

Getting to Trelleborg

It’s easier than you think. With it’s 25 minute proximity to both Sturup Airport east of Malmö and the big international hub Kastrup in Copenhagen, there are plenty of low fares airlines to choose from.

 

AerLingus, EasyJet, Norwegian, AirBerlin, Cimber Air, Bmibaby, Wizzair and Transavia are but a few examples of low cost airlines. Besides these, the larger airlines, such as SAS, Lufthansa and KLM have several good deals if booked good time in advance.

 

Also, ferries operated by TT-Line and Scandlines link German ports such as Sassnitz, Rostock and Travemünde directly to Trelleborg.

 

Tournament Fee

So that we do not end up with incorrect bookings, excessive food and disappointed teams, we require a Tournament Fee of 2500 SEK per mens team or 1500 per ladies team to be paid in advance. This fee will upon arrival be exchanged for 20 banquet tickets (men) or 12 banquet tickets (ladies) for the Saturday evening (Naturally we will sell extra tickets if more are needed).

 

Please pay the Tournament Fee to our Swedbank bank account in Trelleborg, Iban No. SE3080000821493033013917, Swift address SWEDSESS, marked "Easter Games 2010 + team name" no later than February 15th 2009.

(Swedish teams can pay directly to our Swedbank "Bankgiro" account 5118-4133 with the same marking as above.)

 

Other stuff

Yes, we have a bar!
What respectable rugby club doesn’t :- )

And for all you oversees guests – the price for pint of beer is 35 SEK, roughly 3,60 €.

 

Grilled food, fruit and sandwiches will be available for purchase daytime, as well as the usual rugby beverages.

 

Pingvin RC can also help arrange further games against other local teams for the Thursday or Sunday, if visiting teams wish to extend their stay in Sweden .
