			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight at the function centre attached to the <a href="http://kapaniris.com/go.php">Greek Orthodox </a>Parish of &#8216;St. Paraskeve &amp; St. Barbara&#8217;, I attended the Gala Night for the <a href="http://greekrugbyleague.com">Hellenic Rugby League</a>. The night was a great success in not only raising funds, but also in communicating what the HRL are doing in promoting rugby league in Greece. </p>
<p>Entering the hall, you could not miss the items that were up for public auction. </p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709081.jpg" alt="hall photo memorabilia" /></p>
<p>There were many items up for silent auction as well. </p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709082.jpg" alt="hall photo memorabilia" /></p>
<p>The entertainment started off with a couple of belly dancers, I dragged the shutter on this one &#038; liked  the effect. </p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709083.jpg" alt="belly dancers" /></p>
<p>Although some guests were reluctant to mix it with the belly dancers. </p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709084.jpg" alt="belly dancer guest" /></p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t take much encouraging to get up &#038; let it rip. </p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709085.jpg" alt="belly dancer guest" /></p>
<p>This was followed by some traditional Greek Dancers</p>

<p>That danced with water jugs</p>

<p>and sieves</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.johnkapaniris.com/images/0709088.jpg" alt="traditional greek dancers sieve" /></p>
<p>Then to the business end of the evening. Paul Aiton &#038; Peter Wallace from the Panthers holding up one of the unique items up for auction. A pair of split jerseys, each signed by the current coach of the Roosters Brad Fiddler, and an ex player of all 4 teams, Australia, NSW Blues, Panthers and the Roosters. </p>

<p>I couldn&#8217;t finish this entry without a comment about my team, an item I had my eye on, the a signed jersey by the 2005 premiers the Wests Tigers. MC for the night was Gary Freeman. </p>

<p>For all those reading this from Greece, keep an eye on the <a href="http://greekrugbyleague.com">Hellenic Rugby League website</a> and details about a domestic Rugby League competition starting this October in the beautiful isle of Rhodes. </p>
