February, 2017 – Karma Resorts have renewed their partnership with the Road Safety Western Force & RugbyWA as ‘Official Resort Partner’ for 2017, continuing the excellent relationship forged at the club’s inception in 2005.
“Western Force players, staff and fans have enjoyed a special relationship with Karma Resorts throughout the years,” said John Spence, Chairman and Founder of the Karma Group. “We are hugely proud to continue supporting The Force in 2017 in Super Rugby and this year we are also expanding our commitment to rugby in the west with a new partnership with RugbyWA Juniors, supporting the growth and development of the next generation of rugby union players across WA.”
The close connection between Karma Resorts and the Western Force is evident at Karma Kandara, where the library is home to a wonderful collection of signed merchandise from past greats of the club including Matt Giteau, Scott Staniforth and David Pocock. Wallabies Rookie of the Year and Western Force star player Dane Haylett-Petty recently enjoyed a stay at Karma Kandara, enjoying one of his well-deserved 2016 season Karma Resorts Man of the Match prizes.
The partnership will see Karma Club members receive a host of rugby benefits throughout the Super Rugby Season, including tickets to all home games and access to competitions to win ‘money can’t buy’ experiences and signed merchandise. The Karma Club team will have a presence at all Road Safety Western Force Super Rugby home games and key rugby events providing WA rugby fans with rugby merchandise and complimentary Karma Club memberships.
Road Safety Western Force rugby families will once again be able to experience the wonders of Rottnest Island whilst enjoying a rugby master class with Western Force players at the ‘Dads & Lads’ rugby weekend. The event, now in its 4th year, provides opportunities for parents to enjoy quality time with their budding future Force players whilst enjoying the facilities at the wonderful Karma Rottnest Resort.
