SEMPER BONIS AVIS
The Society’s motto literally means “always with good birds”. But idiomatically it translates “always under favorable auspices”. Romans thought it well to enter contests when good birds were about. What better is there than to always start a rugby match with a good bird from the Pelicus flock on the pitch?
