Chairman's Update and this Weekends Games

Hi All,

I hope you've be enjoying the great weather, although its a little for warm for playing it is great for the supporters so why don't you take advantage of it and come down and watch our teams this weekend?

This Weekend The 1st XV are at home on Millwall Park tomorrow for their crucial and last home game of the season, kick off is at 2pm so come down and show your support, a win will secure our position in Essex 1 for next season.

The 3rd XV are also playing their Merit Table Plate Final, so if you fancy escaping London why not head down to the seaside and watch them at Southend Rugby Club, kick off is at 1pm and I'm sure Ralph and the boys would appreciate the support. The Clubhouse will be open so we look forward to seeing you the bar to celebrate a couple of victories and some Silverware.

Upcoming Events

Rest of the World day is fast approaching, scheduled for Saturday the 28 th of April , so make sure its in your diary!

Thanks for all the support during the Six Nations, there were some great afternoons and evenings spent in a packed Clubhouse watching one of the closest tournaments in a long while, none of these things happen without the hard work of our volunteers and you, our members showing up. Special thanks go to Ryan, Edna, Wiggy and all

We are also in the process of finalising the details for our end of season dinner at the House of Commons scheduled for the 30 th of June, tickets will be limited to this unique event and we continue to be very lucky and privileged that Jim Fitzpatrick is willing to host it. More details to follow shortly.

80's Night at the Clubhouse on Friday the 20 th of April, Dan our Social Secretary has posted this event on our Facebook page and it would be great if you could let us know whether you can attend as it will make organising the final details a lot easier.
