‘…perfectly crafted … Pin sharp, his control is deft and his hair is immaculate.’ The Scotsman


MC Lloyd Griffith - 'the next big thing' FHM
Plus guest spot Will Dungan

Beetle Drive and Social

15th October 2011

Come down to the club for a couple of drinks, meet up with your team mates and new members.

To kick off the evening, a Beetle drive will be played. The aim of the game is to be the first player to draw a complete beetle - but the body parts you can draw are determined by the throw of the dice. At beetle drives, players often move from table to table at the start of each new game.
Just abit of craic to get the season kicked off.

Annual Dinner Dance

At Wilmslow Rugby Club from 7.30 p.m.

Tickets are priced at £32 each and include a three course dinner, DJ and entry into the raffle.  Tickets are now on sale - contact Cat Lang or your captain for details.  There are a limited number of tickets so be sure to buy yours early to avoid disappointment!

Lee Edmondson's Memorial Match

16th April 2011

This is a friendly game which is open to everyone which is to celebrate Lee's life and also raise some money for Christies Hospital.

The general idea for the day is to meet at the club at around 14:00 with a view to start playing at 15:00. The idea is that we will start with a Chairman’s XI team against a mixed team of current players, as some of Lee's friends and family have asked to see a competitive game of hockey as some have never seen a game before. We will then introduce the changes to ensure that everybody who would like to play gets some part of a game. This invitation is open to all past and present members of the club of any standard, so please let James Bell know if you would like to play by emailing j88bel@yahoo.co.uk

 

Wilmslow Half Marathon Marshalling

27th March 2011

This is the biggest fund raiser for the club, as always we need your help [friends and family all welcome!] to be marshals on the day.  We only ask a couple of hours from around 9am till lunch at the very latest and the income we receive is critical to the running of our club. It's a great day and we all have fun cheering and clapping our runners around the course.  As well as the food and drink at the rugby club afterwards!
If you can help volunteer please let Louise know as soon as you can at
charlesworth@dsl.pipex.com

Thanks!
