Our physio, Hayley White, is taking part in the Great North Run, on 12 September in support of motor neurone disease and then in the Cardiff half-marathon on 4th October in memory of little Avi, one of her closest friends who passed-on in May last year. If you would like to support Hayley in her very worthwhile efforts you can do so by going into the links below. These replace the one given earlier which doesn’t work properly for some reason, so can you use these two instead.

The southern half of the new Nations Championship started on Saturday and will continue through July. The Northern fixtures will be played in November and will effectively replace the usual Autumn Internationals. We have an allocation of tickets for England’s games at Twickenham against Australia on 8th and New Zealand on 21st November. These have been on offer for several weeks in the usual way and we now have only a few left for the New Zealand game, but we stlll have a good supply for the Australia game. These are still available on a first come first served basis.
