2009

In the 2009 season Blueprint Touch beat all the records with fantastic participation, the stunning level of the games and the superb atmosphere on and off the pitch. However the record which we are most pleased to have surpassed is the amount of money the competition raised for charity in 2009. At the final count we have raised €8162. Thank you all for your contribution to achieving this.

Congratulations to FULCRA, our 2009 winner, for a majestic sporting display and team spirit.

Congratulations to the winners of the Blueprint Touch competition 2006, the Bok and Dragon team! The team triumphed in a close and thrilling finale to the eight week competition against Blueprint on 30 June 2006. The Brussels Barbarians team beat Fulcra in the play off for the third and fourth place.

Following the finals the teams gathered at Autoworld, Parc Cinquantennaire for the prize giving and finals party. Julia Harrison, Managing Partner, Blueprint Partners welcomed guests and thanked all the teams involved for supporting the competition and playing in a competitive and sporting fashion each week. Julia acknowledged the support and presence throughout the competition of the two charitable causes, RETRAK and the Ecole Chanterelle, which are supported by the profits from Blueprint Touch. She also thanked all those who had contributed to the success of the competition including the Brussels Barbarians RFC who held a BBQ and drinks each week (a special thanks to Carlsberg and Jack O'Sheas for providing the excellent products), the British School of Brussels for providing excellent facilities for the competition and the Blueprint team for organising the competition and running it each week. Mathew Hocken, consultant, Blueprint Partners then called upon representatives from each team to receive individual prizes. The final presentation of the Blueprint trophy and free passes kindly sponsored by Aspria gym were made to the captain of the Bok and Dragon team Jonathan Ralfe.


Following the presentations Dave Mann, UK fundraising and support coordinator, spoke about the RETRAK Tigers team enjoyment of the competition and the importance of the support given by the teams for RETRAK projects for street children in Uganda. Earlier Christine Ghys and school children from the Ecole Chanterelle presented gifts to Blueprint. The teams then enjoyed tapas, including NZ lamb from Meat & Wool NZ, watched the semi-final of the Football World Cup, and partied the night away.
