Sports Kit and Discounts

Hi Everyone and players in particular,

Sports Kit and Discounts

We have two pieces of news around playing kit.

1. The player pack materials have arrived, training Tees, contact tops etc. These are based on Gilbert items and are very good quality, there are a number of tops you won't have seen from last year. We're going to make it more flexible this year so you can order as little or as much of the pack as possible. Prices are being finalised but will be based around last years price's showing a healthy discount on shop prices.

2. We've got a discount on rugby kit in general from Fentons Sport shop in Brentwood, 20% off boots in August and 10% for members all year round. Details below.

Clubhouse Open on Friday the 10th of August!!

Hello Millwall,

As Elton John once nearly said: “Friday Night’s Alright For Fighting” and with 4 Brits in the semis tonight who could blame him?. We’ve certainly gone boxing mad at the clubhouse.

Please feel free to come down to help us celebrate “Fight Night” tonight with your glamorous Ring Card Dolly Birds Adrienne and, errrr, Gareth Hargreaves behind the bar.

As a highlight, young Anthony Joshua is hoping to go all the way in the Super Heavyweight division but must get past the massive Kazakh Ivan Dychk first. It should be a great occasion!!

To help get us in the mood (and definitely not because we want to get rid of Wednesday’s awful Jamaican pop) we will be selling jugs of Caribbean Punch @ £10.

We look forward to seeing you from 7:30 on...

Clubhouse Free Stuff, Clear out Day & Monthly Disposals!

The 2012-2013 Season Is Approaching!

And with that in mind we are doing a couple of things to try and improve the clubhouse before the start of the new season.

Free Stash!

One of our players has donated a sizeable amount of kit that he has gathered over his career.  This is all free so just turn up to the clubhouse before the 1st of September and grab what you want.

Clubhouse Deep Clean & Clear Out Day!

General CMC member Gareth is running a deep clean day / clean out day at the clubhouse on the 25th August 2012.  Every 6 months or so it is useful to blitz our clubhouse and get ourselves ready for the first weekend of the new season.  We need more people to help with this, so please email gareth@millwallrugby.com to put your name forward.  (There are also rumours the CHO Ryan may stand the helpers a drink or two.. To be confirmed :-)

Monthly Disposals!

From the 1st of September 2012 (and on the 1st Saturday of each following month) we will be disposing of ALL left rugby kit and / or personal items in the clubhouse, so if you have boots, jackets, tops, gumshield etc, make sure you collect it ASAP.  We do not have the space to store left clothing items so we have start throwing it away / recycling it.  You have been warned :-)

Upcoming Events!

Club Open Day - 18th August 2012.  The Flyers will soon be coming hot off the press of the printers and appearing around the area.  Make sure you spread the word and lets get as many people down to the club for the Touch tournament / open day as possible.

Keep your eyes peeled on the blog / website for more details of events coming up in the coming months at YOUR clubhouse.

Open Day at Millwall Rugby Club, 18th August 2012

Everyone is welcome down to the Club for our Open Day on Saturday 18th August 2012. 

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.

So put the 18th August in your calendar now and get ready for some fun on the park. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for further updates ahead of the day.

Email info@millwallrugby.com for more information, or visit the mens, ladies, youth or touch sections of our website. Otherwise just come along on the day, tell us you're new and get started!

Upcoming Social Events at the Clubhouse!!!

Wiggy Wednesday – 8^th of August

Given Monday marked the 50th year of Jamaican Independence & to celebrate the brilliant performances of Messrs Bolt & Blake, we will be holding a Jamaican themed evening this Wednesday!

The 200m semi-finals are on from 20.10, which will be recorded for those that will be in the clubhouse a little later.  There will be West Indian themed cocktails along with a little bit of reggae that will surely set the mood for the night.  Also, Chef Shezza will be serving Chicken Rice and Peas (more like kidney beans for those who haven’t had it before).  It’ll be like visiting Jamaica without the travel!

For those of you inspired by the Olympics, why not come down and train with Cheese from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm and then visit the clubhouse to get some excellent food, drinks and company.  The clubhouse will be open from 7:30 pm onwards.

Pub Crawl – Saturday the 11^th of August

We will be having a pub crawl on the Isle of Dogs to advertise our Open Day on the 18th of August. You have to wear something Millwall and if you don't have anything then Millwall colours will do. The schedule is as follows:

The Space 12 pm - 1:20

Ontiod/Puzzle 1:40-2:20

The George 2:30-3:10

The Pier 3:20 - 4 pm

The Great Eastern 4:10 - 4:50

The Nelson 5 pm - 5:40

The Ship 5:50 - 6:30

The Ferry House 6:40 - ??

We will be eating at The Space (ergo the length of time there).  The Ferry House has offered to provide food so I need fairly accurate numbers to give to him. So come for the beginning or meet us along the way!  Please RSVP on the Facebook event page:  http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/303578429741099/

Open Day – Saturday the 18^th of August

This is sure to be a fun day where we get to share with the community and guests how great Millwall is!  There will be touch rugby on in the park.  We’ll also have a BBQ going along with showing the 4 Nations games.  We’ll need volunteers to help out on the day and just those that want to come down and have fun.  Please invite your friends and help us spread the word!  We’ll have more details coming out soon about this, but you’ll definitely want to save the date!

Hi All,

Well the pre-season social activities are beginning to ramp up so we'd like to let you know of a few things that are going to be happening. Keep an eye out because there is much more planned for all at Millwall!

Thursday, 2^nd August

So…BBQ season has rolled around again and come rain or shine there will be a BBQ down at the clubhouse on Thursday.  The clubhouse will be open from 7:30 onwards and we’ll have delicious BBQ served up by our own club captain, Shaf.  So come on down have a few drinks, eat some food and enjoy some banter! Also, the men’s team returns to training this night so this could be a good opportunity to meet the guys that will be on the pitch next season if you haven’t already.

Friday, 3^rd August

‘It’s all Greek to Me’ Toga Party.  We’ve been inspired to have a Greek themed party in tribute to the spirit of the Olympics with a little help from Animal House.  So come on down!  There will be Greek food at the clubhouse for those who would like to have dinner there.  Fancy dress is suggested but not mandatory.  The clubhouse will open at 7:30 pm.
