Hargreaves Hump Day – Wednesday, 19^th of December, open at 19:30

Message from Gareth:  Hi all HHD Followers

Early Xmas Offer - Buy One DM Get One DM Free!!! (While stocks last)

Well Ladies & Gents, we have decided to give you a real treat to send you off on your Xmas hols. This Wednesday will be a Wiggy Hump Day as Wiggy will be opening the clubhouse at 7.30pm and then I will take over from 8.30pm - who says we don't spoil you!!!

Chef Shez will be cooking Lancashire Hot pot for your dining pleasure (take it from me, it's better than my mums/Kirstie's - but don't tell either of them I said so!!)

We will also be celebrating the following landmarks on this day in history:

1) 1843 – Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol goes on sale (Wiggy may even wear his Xmas outfit again)
2) 1958 – Birth of Limahl, English singer (from Kajagoogoo)
3) 1983 – The original FIFA World Cup trophy, the Jules Rimet Trophy, is stolen from the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (unfortunately, this did not lead to the demise of the game of football!!)

After tomorrow, Wednesday openings will start up again on the 9th Jan

See you there

Wiggy & Gareth x

Clubhouse Closed – Friday 21st and Saturday 22^nd of December

Friday, December 21^st – The Ferry House, after 6 pm

At a loose end with the clubhouse closed?  How about going to The Ferry House which is owned by one of our members?  The Ferry House has undergone some changes in the last few month and is looking really different. The décor is undergoing changes and it’s looking bright and airy.  Why not come down and see the changes for yourself? The kitchen is open and Abs wants to get feedback on his bar snacks/menu.  So come on down and try the food and say hi to Abs who is supposed to be working…

Club Breakfast, 10 am

Tim is hosting and reviving the club breakfast, Sheridan is going to put on a delectable spread of old favourites including bacon and sausage rolls, scrambled eggs etc to send the players on the way on the second last game of the season and build up to the Christmas party later that day.

The 1s are at home, 2s away to Upminster, 3rds away to East London so we'll go off fortified. Lessons have been learned, none of your 'healthy' breakfasts, just solid fuel!

If people like, we can go through some current topics:  including floodlights , coaching etc

Millwall Christmas Party, 5 pm

Hi All! Instead of having the Christmas dinner as in the past years, we've decided to have a Christmas party at the clubhouse instead. 
Christmas dress is optional, but it would be great if you'd wear something Christmas-y (red/green, Christmas dress of any sort, Christmas jumper, etc). We are going to have great tunes for dancing and a buffet put on by Chef Shezza.  So come on down ready to hang out and have fun. As always, feel free to invite friends and other Millwall members down. 

If you have questions, please email socialsecretary@millwallrugby.com or look at the Facebook invite:
