PRINTERS AND DESIGNERS?

We are on the look out for people with some graphic design skills and access to design software. This is to help us design new promotional flyers and posters for recruitment and general promotion of the club. If you or someone you know can help us with this, please get in touch asap!

We also need regular access to colour printing, sometimes in large quantities? Do you or anyone you know have access to this, so we can keep our printing costs down? Again, get in touch asap!



THANKS FOR A GREAT NIGHT

We'd like to thank all the parents, aunts, uncles and grand parents who came along to our Parent's Wine & Cheese Social night in the clubhouse last week. It was really great to meet all of you and find out how you think we are doing.

Without your support, we simply wouldn't be able to function, so on behalf of all the hard working volunteers, thanks for a fun night, we hope to do it again soon!

PARENT LUNCH

We'll be having a light lunch on for parents of Millwall Lions players on Sunday 10th of April, as well as providing information to you about volunteering with Millwall Rugby Club.

You'll have the opportunity to talk to the current volunteers, find out what they do and also what they get out of helping run Millwall Rugby Club. You can also sign up for fully-funded places on either RFU Coaching or refereeing courses.

If nothing else, you won't have to worry about preparing that Sunday lunch for the family!

Please RSVP by Wednesday 7th April so we can cater accordingly.

It is our ambition to have a youth section that is well supported by the parents of our players, so please make an effort to come down so we can get to know you!
