You might have a treasure of memories and artefacts to share – or you may not have thought much about your old water polo ‘paraphernalia’ gathering dust in a box. Either way, we’d like you to take a look at what you have and think of making a submission to one of our 3 distinguished tables!

Water polo is a truly unique experience. All who come in contact with it, live and breathe the sport for a period of time to its extreme. Yet as the decades of the past players, coaches and volunteers move on... the importance of past events and the significance of people who have contributed to the sport is lost.
For every generation, there should be a past and a future to reflect upon and aspire towards.
In sharing memorabilia, you are reviving an important part of what makes this sport a truly uplifting experience and lifelong passion!

- NOTE: You are responsible for identifying that it’s your memorabilia (with a name-tag, tape or pen) with your FULL NAME and PHONE NUMBER. *This is for the item's security purposes and in the event that you forget to pick up your item at the end of the evening.
What kind of display is it?
- There will be decorated tables inside the hall, in which the memorabilia will be arranged according to the categories described above. All memorabilia will be open for viewing during the entire duration of the evening. A table monitor will supervise the tables before and after the seated dinner.
When can I pick it up? - All memorabilia will be available for pick up at the close of the evening program. For the purpose of returing each item to its rightful owner, you may need to provide some form of I.D. (driver's license, student card, etc).
