Announcements

Poppy Appeal

This year Millwall is in the privileged position of having been asked to help with the Poppy Appeal.

The Appeal is the British Legion's biggest fundraising campaign and is most obvious to the public when lapel poppies are available from the last week of October until Remembrance Sunday, or 11 November, whichever is later in the calendar. The money raised during the Poppy Appeal goes towards helping all of the armed forces across the country and recognising the work they do on a daily basis.

This is an amazing opportunity for Millwall to get involved in supporting a really worthwhile cause and possibly recruiting some new members to the joys of Millwall Rugby Club.  We are in need of your help to get the national Poppy campaign off to a rousing start and the national Appeal starts on Wednesday 24^th October.

Millwall (yes, that’s youJ) will be volunteering from Monday 29^thOctober to Friday 9^th November. We will be stationed at Canary Wharf from 5pm-7pm for the 2 weeks. If you can do the 2 hour shift, great!! If you can only do an hour, that’s great too!! There’s two shifts available- 5-6pm or 6-7pm, so take your pick.

Come wearing Millwall colours, raise some money for a great cause and there’s no reason why we can’t recruit some more members into the bargain!!!

Please contact Adrienne on:volunteer@millwallrugby.com to sign up or let anyone on the committee know you’re interested.

RFU Grand Draw (Lights Fund)
Raffle Update:
Great News: We now have the actual raffle tickets in hand, So anyone who has pre-ordered - thank you very much for your support and Gareth will be getting them to you in the post asap.
We are also working on getting a webpage set up in the next few weeks where people can buy them on-line so watch out for that.

As a club we get to keep 90% of the sales. This year our main focus for the fundraising will be for floodlights. However as an added incentive - the Mens and Ladies teams have a target to sell, and if they reach their target they get to keep 10% of the sales value to spend on whatever they want - so the more the teams sell, the more they have to spend!!!

So players - Speak to Shaf or your respective team managers to find out more information about this incentive.

In the coming week we also hope to be able to get a web-page set up as well where you can buy tickets.

Halloween Party for the Entire Club!!!!

Hi Everyone!

We're really excited to include the youth section in this year's Halloween Party!!!  We will have games for kids of all ages including bobbing for apples, a pinata full of sweets, and mummy races (see who can make a mummy the fastest).  There will be additional activities for the kids during the day!  Please read below for the full description of the party!  We really look forward to seeing you there!!!  If you'd like to volunteer on the day or have any questions, please email me at socialsecretary@millwallrugby.com. 

Halloween Party – 27^th of October

The party will start around 3 pm and go on all night!  We invite anyone with kids to come down during the day since we’ll have activities for young and old alike.  There will be a piñata filled with sweets, mummy races and bobbing for apples along with some other activities.  These activities will be repeated later on in the evening for those that are unable to attend during the day.

It looks like we will end up with a psychic who reads tarot cards, photography readings (digital or print), and is a medium.  The cost will be £25 per reading and there is no time restriction.   Let me know via email if you’re interested in a reading (it’s not a booking but just to make sure that we’re not wasting someone else’s time).

It would be great if we could make this Halloween to encompass many countries traditions so let me know if you have any traditions that you’d like for us to incorporate.

We encourage anyone who’d like to play dj to please bring down your ipod and play whatever music you’d like.  Also, anyone who is already trained on the bar to please sign up for shifts by signing up on the rota.  Lastly, it would be great to get some help with coordinating some of the activities.  Please email socialsecretary@millwallrugby.com if you’d like to help out!

The event is on the Millwall Facebook page so you can get updated information through there!

Please note that kids are allowed in the clubhouse until 8 pm.
