Results from last weekend
This Saturday 21st January the FIRST XV travel to St Albans to take on Old Albanians in one of the key matches of the season KO 3pm. I know that many of you will be there to support and encourage the lads and I would mention that as the Vikings game against Old Albanians II is no longer going ahead, there will be room on the team coach for supporters, although you need to book with me asap please. The coach will leave at 11.30am
.For those making their own way there directions can be found here
There is a pre match lunch but I am afraid that it is sold out already – such is the pulling power of the Mighty Mond!
The VIKINGS as yet do not have a game whilst the SAXONS are away to Chinnor II KO 2pm, the NORMANS visit Luton II KO 2.15pm and the HEAVIES finally KO 2012 away to Olney at 2.15pm. The BARBARIANS are resting.
The only Richmond game at the ground on Saturday is the WOMEN 1st XV game against Darlington KO at the later time of 5.30pm - at the visitor’s request to enable them to travel down at a reasonable hour and stay over to enjoy a bit of a social – one wonders if the town of Richmond has been warned!!! All support would of course be very welcome for our Premiership girls.
Club Shop
I would mention that as the ground is so quiet on Saturday I am playing hooky and going to watch the First XV so the shop will NOT be open that day but will be open as usual on Sunday 9am to 1pm
On Sunday the WOMEN 2nd XV and the WOMEN 3rd XV are both at home to Cheltenham and Wimbledon respectively KO 2pm
YOUTH games: U17A v Camberley away, U17B v Esher away, U16 v Rosslyn Park away, U15 v Reeds away, U14A & B v Heathfield at home KO 12pm, U13A v Warlingham at home KO 12pm
The MINIS are away with evens at Chobham and odds at Dorking and if in doubt as to where you should be then please check the website or contact your age group manager
RFC v Clifton Sat 28th Jan
Next Saturday the FIRST XV return home to play Clifton KO 3pm and there is the usual pre match lunch for which I am happy to take bookings now. Usual cost of £22/head which does not include match entrance
Forum Meeting Monday 30th Jan
A reminder of this meeting which is open to all club members but we do please need to know the names of attendees and any items for the agenda by Friday 27th January.
RFU Grand Draw
Letters have gone out this week with the annual raffle tickets from the RFU Grand Draw and once again we would ask for your support for this major fund raiser for the Gareth Savin Trust. Not only does it generate funds to enhance the quality of Gareth’s life, but it also gives you the chance to win some fantastic prizes including first prize of £10,000 cash which would be very welcome I am sure in the current economic climate
