MRFC - East End fun @ the Clubhouse

Try to get down to the club this Saturday, Players & Parents

Not only will the England v Ireland game be showing on the big screen
(and where better to watch international rugby than with mates at a
rugby club?) but Barry Gray and his 4th XV team are putting together a
riot of fun described as an "East End Night" (or Cockney Knees Up) so
don't miss this one!

The Club will be open tonight as usual. With training cancelled, its a
chance for even the dedicated athletes in the club to take an evening
off and just socialise.

Friday evening sees Wales v France kicking off at 8pm, so come along
and see if the taffs can knock the frogs off course (and do everyone
else a favour!)

The early game on Saturday is Italy v Scotland starting at 1.30pm. If
we have someone to man the bar while most of the players are away
playing then we will be showing this game live.

The big England v Ireland game kicks off at 4pm so get back from
wherever quickly to catch it all at the clubhouse.

From 6pm the 4th XV will be taking over with some very special
entertainment including a proper cockney sing-a-long with Marc Walker,
James Gough's Cockney Rhyming Slang quiz plus Matt & Ross's

traditional drinking games - all washed down with authentic East End
Pie & Mash (liquor optional!).

We have a bottle or two to share (free) with anyone wearing
traditional Cockney/East End dress, so dig out your boots, braces and
caps etc and add to the atmosphere!

PLEASE make an extra effort to get down this weekend, support Barry
and the 4ths AND have a great time too... If you are one of the
friends who haven't yet made it to the club on a big night, make this

the one for you.

If someone is keen to man the bar on Sunday afternoon, we might even
show the round-ball Carling Cup Final...

Coming up in March... a night with the netball girls...St Patrick's
Day... 6 Nations Finals Day.

Finally, with thanks to the new friends who have recently started
helping out behind our bar, we are still looking for more people to
take a turn - check out the Calendar on
http://www.millwallrugby.com/clubhouse
and let us know if you can help out.

Help Josh help the Heroes!

Dear Players & Parents,

Former England international and Millwall honorary life member Josh
Lewsey is climbing Mount Everest to raise money for Help for Heroes.

As you would be aware, Millwall Rugby Club's youth section owes a lot
to Josh through his involvement in setting up the Josh Lewsey Rugby
Academy in East London, resulting in a massive increase in local kids
being exposed to rugby. It has reached corners of Tower Hamlets
schools that we have not had the resources to do in the past.

If you would like to support Josh in his monumental challange, and
donate to this hugely worthy cause, you can text 'everest' to 60999
this will donate �5 directly to help for Heroes on your behalf.

We are currently arranging Josh's annual visit to Millwall Rugby Club,
but in the meantime, if you would like to read more about his everest
climb, visit http://www.mounteverestclimb2010.com/

On behalf of Millwall Rugby Club, we wish Josh all the best and hope
he makes it to the top (and back!) safely.

Thanks

Matt Shorrock

Wed 24th Feb Training Cancelled

Dear Players & Parents,

Due to adverse weather and water-logging, the lower paddock at
Mudchute Farm is unsuitable for rugby training.

Therefore, all rugby training, including adults, colts, ladies and
youth has been cancelled for this week.

For the youth section teams and colts, this means there will be no
training on Wednesday 24th February.

Training will continue on Sunday on Millwall Park.

We will assess the situation later this week as to whether we resume
next Wednesday.

The team managers and I will keep you informed of any decisions made
about this.

thanks

Matt Shorrock

MRFC - Help Millwall RFC Sponsor Mudchute Farm

Dear Players & Parents,

Millwall Rugby Club are raising money for the Mudchute Association and
we'd really appreciate your support.

Mudchute Farm is a unique living resource in east London which
provides free access to a wide range of farm animals for children of
all ages.

Mudchute receive no funding from local government and corporate
supporters are reducing their funding.

So now we need your help. It costs �147 a day to run Mudchute Farm and
Millwall Rugby Club are appealing for donations so we can 'sponsor'
the running of the Farm for two weeks in March 2010.

It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to
our JustGiving page:

http://www.justgiving.com/MillwallRFCMudchute

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Mudchute Association and
automatically reclaims Gift Aid on all eligible donations, so what you
give is worth even more.

I hope you'll join us in supporting Mudchute Farm, keeping it free for
all to enjoy!

Thank you.

MRFC - Training Cancellation

Dear Players & Parents,

Due to the bad weather and Millwall Park / Mudchute Farm being frozen,
we have cancelled the junior rugby training sessions until further
notice.

The minibus scheme from the Josh Lewsey schools will also not be
running this Sunday (10th Jan) nor next Wednesday (13th Jan).

We will keep you updated later next week as to when training will be
resuming as soon as we hear from Mudchute Farm and the council. We are
aiming to at least resume Sunday sessions from Sunday 17th of January.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Please can you ensure all children and
parents are aware of this. Thanks.

FYI - Josh Lewsey is planning to visit Millwall Rugby Club in March to
meet, further encourage and train with the children who have made the
transition from the schools to the Rugby Club. A date will be
confirmed once he returns from his Mt Everest Expedition training
weeks in South America.

Yours in Rugby
