Past Festivals

The Golden Oldies sporting movement began in the late 1970's. At the outset it was resolved that Rugby would benefit from Golden Oldies Festivals, and the relationship with local organising groups provides them with opportunities to gain funds for the development of the game and other needs such as junior Rugby, injured players, refereeing and school rugby support.

The first Festival the Old Tasmanian Devils attended was the 1985 London Festival. From then on we have made every effort to represent Tasmania at every festival, only missing the 1997 Vancouver and the 2008 Edinburgh festival.
