• As a celebration of the diversity in Bermuda, there will be a free community event at Royal Naval Dockyard dedicated to the things that unite us (music, food, art and entertainment) rather than the things that divide us. CultureFest: Unity in the Community is a national festival created by Bermudians in the 1970s in which visitors and residents from all ethnic groups will participate and embrace without controversy.   From noon until 9pm on Sunday, June 17th and Monday, June 18th **UPDATE: This has been postponed until Saturday, July 21st and Sunday, July 22nd**, there will be live entertainment, international food court, a traditional Bermudian Village and a cultural and visual arts exhibit.  For more details, visit www.bermudaculturefest.com – here’s the flyer!

• The Bermuda Rugby Football Union (BRFU) Annual Dinner for 2012 will be at 7pm on Saturday, June 30th at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.  The dinner is in support of the current youth, kids and schools initiatives started by the BRFU in the past year or so and there will also be an auction of rugby memorabilia to raise further funds. Guest speakers are Lewis Moody MBE (World Cup Winner and former England Captain) and Fijian rugby legend Waisale Serevi.

There are three different options and two different events on offer. First of all is the Captain’s Choice Tournament, where you can choose an 8am or 1pm shotgun start. The afternoon event is restricted to teams of three registered entrants as one MIRRORS young person will be included per team after participating in a morning golf clinic. If you were a previous attendee of NTDIB Neon, you’ll know how much fun night golf is. At 9pm (shotgun start) there will be a Night Golf Tournament run on two 9-hole circuits. The entry fees are $100 per player for the Captain’s Choice morning afternoon events (includes green fee and cart) or $75 per player for Night Golf (walking only, golf carts don’t have headlights, and special glow-in-the-dark golf balls will be provided).  If you want to do more than one event, great news, there are deal bundles!
