Lions Weekly Round Up

Dear Players and Parents,

Welcome to the first Lions Weekly Round Up for the 2011/12 season. If you are new to the club, then firstly let me welcome you! We hope you settle in and enjoy the social and fun atmosphere that we have been trying to build at Millwall Rugby Club.


This issue will be short but important:

DIRECTOR OF RUGBY
RUGBY FRIDAYS
CANARY WHARF EVENT
REGISTRATION DAY
TRAINING



DIRECTOR OF RUGBY
If you haven't seen, Millwall Rugby Club has appointed Warren Abhrahams as the Director of Rugby. Warren will be responsible for all coaching within the club, including the youth section, so if you see him, do take the time to say hi. More on the announcement here


RUGBY FRIDAYS
Rugby Fridays continue to run during the school holidays - there are only 3 more sessions left, so if you haven't come along yet, now is your chance. All sessions are free and are run by experienced RFU-qualified coaches. Lunch is also provided (and also free). For more information about Rugby Fridays, see the our blog here


CANARY WHARF EVENT
The whole club are decending upon Canary Wharf arcade on Saturday 27th of August, from 12pm to officially launch our new season and recruit some more members for our teams. If you are about on the day, and can spare 30-40 mins to help us hand out flyers, please contact me asap. Even if you can't help, swing by our stand outside HSBC & Accessorize in Canada Square Arcade and say hi!


REGISTRATION DAY - SUNDAY 4TH SEPT
Sunday 4th of September is the date your membership fees are due for the new season. Come down to the clubhouse from 12pm (until 4pm) to sign up. We will have exclusive RFU goodie bags and freebies for players who pay their membership on this day. Team/Squad photos will also take place on this day - including an ambitious Millwall Youth group photo! The Academy Director from Robert Clack Rugby Academy & College will also be down to talk to parents and players of our U16s team about their educational and rugby options for next year. It promises to be a great day, so please make an effort to come down - we'll send out more in the coming weeks about this, but mark it in your calendars now! Tell us you are coming by Facebook RSVP here


TRAINING
Rugby Training has resumed in preparation for the new season. HITZ Rugby (run by Premiership club Saracens) takes place on Millwall Park every Wednesday from 4:30pm. Millwall Youth Pre-season training begins at 6pm, also on Millwall Park, every Wednesday. Sunday training will begin in earnest from Sunday 11th of September. All sessions will be on Millwall Park until further notice.


If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please do get in touch.

Let's go to Work!
