Vale Snogga - CCXV #26
It with great sadness and a very heavy heart that we inform you that the Cauliflower Club XV lost one of our own.
Colin “Snogga” Snowden, from Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsular in remote NT, suffered a massive heart attack and passed away a few days before his 53rd Birthday, leaving his wife Alison and children Jye, Koby and Mahlia, the kids all being talented and emerging Rugby player.
His family statement -
Snogga is well known and respected throughout Australia as a ‘larger than life’ character, who had a great impact on those he came into contact with. He has had a massive impact on our family in the way that we were shaped as people through passing down his morals, values and just joy for life, he will always be remembered as the person who would give his shirt off is back to help someone in need.
His love for family, surfing and rugby never wavered, he felt privileged to be able to share his knowledge and passion for rugby through coaching and mentoring the future generations. He has left his mark on all the teams he played for/with/coached/mentored, passing on not only his love of, but his stories and values of the game they play in heaven.
He encouraged us to be the best version of ourselves. He will always be known as a very loving and caring family man.
We would like to thank;
The First Responders, Police, Ambos, Hospital staff, for your efforts, support and care.
Our family and friends, NTFRS / NTPFES, our extended rugby family and surf lifesaving family, everyone who has sent messages, we are feeling the love and support on a global scale,

Great visit to bankwest stadium
Come and Try Wheelchair Experience
We recently headed out to Bankwest Stadium for charity round with The Waratahs and joined with our friends at Wheelchair Sports NSW to provide a 'come and try' experience on the way into the Stadium. If you have not made it out to Bankwest yet, it is worth a visit.
Showcasing how we help
As well as having the chance to showcase Cauliflower Club in the program and on the screens at the Stadium, we were able to bring along the car presented to Royal Rehab at our last lunch for their Return2Drive program to showcase this and the wheelchairs provided to WSNSW to help share the value of our organisation and the generosity of our members. CCA Director Dean Mumm joined in the action proudly wearing his coveted CCXV jersey.
Great support
Huge thanks to WSNSW and GIO NSW Gladiators squad members from L to R: Mark Leslie, Daniel Clarke, Harry Clist, Alex Partington, Jake Field, Simon Bartlett, Ben Leaudais who joined CCA Directors Rob Horne, Dean Mumm and Alison Nolan at the event.
New adapted pool table for Sargood on Collaroy
CCA purchased an adapted pool table and presented it to Sargood on Collaroy where Terri and Rebecca showed off their pool shark skills. The table has proven hugely popular and has led to some late night socialising, We were touched by the story of one guest at Sargood who said it was the first time he had been able to teach his son something that they could do together
CCA honoured by reception
The Cauliflower Club were delighted to be hosted for a reception by His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd )) Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Lady Cosgrove. The weather was spectacular and we were delighted to celebrate the work of the Cauliflower Club in such wonderful company and surroundings.
