Many moons ago
This is a fund raising event, This years chosen charities are Michael Sobbell House and the Wooden Spoon Society.
Day one usually consists of getting your tent pitched, sorting out your bed and going to the clubhouse to meet up with old friends, followed by an early night.
Day two sees the start of some sublime flowing 7s rugby. The first part of the day is given over to the pool stages followed by a light lunch.
The afternoon sees the knockout rounds for the various trophies on offer.
This year we will be fielding a strong team with the aim of competing for some of the most sought after silverware around, namely the A**e Trophy. This has yet to be re-won by any team.
After the prize giving, the evening is spent in reflection of the days sporting endeavours and contemplation of next year’s competition.
Day three is taken up with clearing up and putting the tents away.
If you believe any of this….
