On Thursday it is the club AGM – starting at 7pm. All are welcome but only paid members can participate in any votes. Details of agenda available from Tom at secretary@hoverugby.club

Sunday 15th sees us welcome a couple of Red Roses Zoe Harrison and Tatyana Heard down for an open training session and a meet and greet opportunity from 10:30 to 1:30. Thanks to our sponsors at Aligne for making this happen. Aligne are proud to support women’s initiatives, from partnering with Smart Works, a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for success at job interviews, to sponsoring girls’ and women’s rugby programs. Highlighting and uplifting women athletes is a huge priority for their brand, as they continue to stand beside those who break boundaries and inspire others to do the same.

The kitchen and bar will be open throughout the day. I will be down as my first event after stepping down as Chair and am looking for volunteers to help coordinate other events in the run up to the World Cup so either send me a message on geraldine.brown@hoverugby.club or find me on the 15th.

We will be showing all the Lions games over the Summer – so if you are making plans on where to watch why not head down to the club? The bar and kitchen will be open.

Thanks to all who have moved training away from the club, Graeme has been leading a team doing brilliant work on the pitches. The front two pitches seeding has taken well and hopefully the rain this week will help the work on the back two pitches so that they can survive the season
