Special Offers at the clubhouse this Thurs & Sat

Due to the summer season, where sales are slower, we have an excess stock of some items.

Paul Fisher will be peddling these (along with the usual "bombs" on Thursday night) - he may even treat you to some of his Poitín he has brought back from Kinsale Sevens. And Ryan will be continuing these offers on Saturday night if stocks allow.

So come down early and secure some of the "Bargains of the Century" whilst stocks last.

• Pints of Bombardier are just £1.40 each
• Crisps are just 35p each
• KitKats are just 35p each
• We also have a number of Snickers bars for FREE (best before 3/5)

Enjoy

Thirst Friday the 8th of May

Since O2 Touch rugby has callously stolen our Thursday slot, (and certain members may be in danger of losing their jobs due to sudden Friday illnesses), it has been decreed that Thirst Thursday is now changed to Firsty Friday until this heretical threat has been dealt with once and for all. This tends to happen when the ground becomes regularly soft enough to again fall over without breaking stuff before the start of next season.

Onwards proud rugby players (and social beer monsters)! …Into battle, which will take place upon the hallowed paving slabs of Via (previously Via Fossa) in West India quay:

VIA Canary Wharf

2 The Port East Building

Hertsmere Road

London

E14 4AY

The affray will commence at approximately 17:30hrs or possibly before, (whenever the first person working in the wharf gets sick of work on a Friday).

Once more unto VIA, dear friends, once more! … The game's afoot; Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry — God for Harry, England and Saint George! (or any other names/countries/patron saints applicable to whoever is coming).

"Oh no we've got Millwall next!" Saracens Touch Captain

Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for Millwall’s Touch
team, The Intangibles.

I can’t think of a better start to the summer than to send our more,
ahem, experienced players to represent us in a Tournament at Allianz
Park. Wait a minute, I can think of a better way to start the summer.
And that is to send them to a Tournament to Allianz Park and for them
to win the bloody thing.

Note to Committee, with the addition of the Touch team to Millwall,
we’re going to need a bigger Trophy Cabinet.

Anyway, ably led by the Silver Fox himself, Mr James Wakefield, our 11
players creaked and limped all the way to Hendon (which when you’re
their age is the teenage equivalent of Hawaii) and then, as if by
magic, transformed themselves into Touch players floating over the 4G
surface used by Saracens RFC. Nandana Thomas, in particular, performed
so magically, that she won the Ladies MVP for the tournament.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though, this is just the start and
I for one will be hugely disappointed if we finish the summer without
additional silverware. Obviously, it’s time for the younger brigade,
(you know anyone under 35) to take over and where better to start than
next Wednesday at Surrey Quays, where we’ll be playing our first two
friendly, grading games.

I’d also like to remind everyone that we’ll be playing Touch on
Sundays at 13:00, Mondays at 19:00 and Thursdays at 19:00 on Millwall
Park throughout the summer.

Until then, once more, stand up and put your hands together for; 

Michael Beech

Task Force - we need you!

Dear all

As part of the drive to ensure we are always developing the club and
pulling in the best talent, we would like to invite members to join us
at 7PM on Friday 8th May, at the clubhouse.

The aim is to set up a task force of interested members, to be
creative in looking at how the club works and how we can improve what
we do.

Neil Sweeney of the RFU will be running the evening for us and giving
ideas of the kind of thing other clubs have thought of. 

Your involvement and commitment to anything going forward will depend
entirely on yourself and how you want to take this forward after the
meeting. The ongoing agenda will be defined by the members of the task
force.

Please reply to myself (chairman@millwallrugby.com)
with any indications of interest if you would like to help the club
with ideas, activity, time....

best regards

Robin Poynder
Chairman
