Open Day, 10th August 2013

Everyone is welcome down to the Club for our Open Day on Saturday 10th August 2013. 

Starting at 12pm there will be a Touch Tournament, BBQ, raffle with some outstanding prizes and Hawaiian Fancy Dress Theme!! Let's hope the weather holds.

The Open Day will also feature some cars from this year's Charity Partner, Mission Motorsport!

Whether you've never thrown a ball before; already play; are looking for a more focused way of getting fit; would like to get involved with helping run the club or would simply enjoy having a few drinks with like-minded people in the clubhouse, it will be a day full of fun with touch rugby sessions starting at 12pm on Millwall Park for youth and adult players. So come down and find out what we are all about.

There will be a BBQ serving lunch and dinner and the clubhouse will be open all day for everyone to get to know each other off the pitch.

Based next to Island Gardens DLR stop on the Isle of Dogs, and being just a 10 minute journey from Canary Wharf, we are very easy to find. We have 3 men's teams, a women's team and a range of youth age groups.

Whatever your interest or experience you'll find a warm and friendly welcome at Millwall Rugby Club.


If you want to register to play touch on the day please email development@millwallrugby.com. You can also 'join' the Facebook event page to get updates, see the latest raffle prizes and get more info on the run up to the day itself.

Please feel free to invite your friends and colleagues along too. You can find flyers and posters through these links that you can handout/put up in your workplace to spread the word!


We look forward to seeing you there!

Clubhouse Subcommittee Meeting - Wednesday 10th July 2100hrs


MRFC Members!

The next Clubhouse Subcommittee meeting will be held in the Clubhouse after training on Wednesday 10th July.

Day to Day running of the clubhouse is the responsibility of the Clubhouse Officer, however this is by no means a one person task and it takes a huge amount of input and effort from our volunteers to keep everything ticking along.

We are currently on the hunt for more members who can spare one or two Saturdays primarily every 8-9 weeks to be Duty Managers when the CHO is not present.  If you can spare some time please email clubhouse@millwallrugby.com and we will get back to you.

The meeting is open to all members of the club who have an interest in the running of the clubhouse and it gives the Clubhouse team an opportunity to discuss / suggest improvements and / or issues with the CHO.  So if you have any ideas or comments please feel free to pop along.

If you have any specific items to discuss please email them as agenda items to ryan@millwallrugby.com by close of play Monday 8th July.

We look forward to seeing you then.

Ryan - MRFC Clubhouse Officer.
