Countdown to Rugby World Cup - Open Day at Millwall Rugby Club - WE NEED HELPERS NEXT TUESDAY

Image result for RWC logoDate: Tues 17th March (Next Tues)
Time: 11am to 3pm
Venue: Millwall Park & Rugby Clubhouse

As you may or may not know our youth team have been working hard behind the scenes to set up the RWC Countdown to Rugby Open Day at Millwall Rugby Club which will take place on the 17th of March (next Tuesday).

So successful has the feedback been that there will be around 500 children attending. This will work out to be a great promotion for both Millwall Rugby Club, and Rugby Union in the Tower Hamlets area.

As you can imagine, 500 children will no doubt be a handful and as such any help you could provide on this day will be greatly appreciated. 

We have a few volunteers, but WE NEED MORE. 

Remember, a great deal of Canary Wharf and City employers allow their employees to take a day a year to help with community events.

The kids will be arriving from around 11.45am and will be running through the various training stations until 3.00pm so you will be required during this time. Ideally, we would like coaches to arrive around 45 minutes ahead of time to assist with the set up.

Volunteers would be leading or supporting taster sessions, helping organise kids and supporting the taster session rotations. 

Should you be available on this day, please let us know.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
