Hi all, just a quick message to say that there is a turn up and play touch rugby session in east park tonight and for the next six weeks starting at 6:30. All are welcome, male and female over the age of sixteen. It's been organised by Chris Charles. It's a follow on from the excellent touch rugby course that he ran recently at woodford. Get yourselves down.

Just to remind people that this is on tonight. We had a good turn out last week of 18. All levels of ability and fitness are welcome.

Is it Ok just to turn up even if you missed last week?

Were abouts in East park?

Absolutely Hutchie, the more people the better. It's on the field just as you go through the main gate, you can't miss it.

I was there last night and it was a good mix of young an old , fit an unfit (myself in the unfit category ) and i will be turning up again next week

Might have to get myself down there if Mr Zucchini Head will come with me.

I attended the indoor sessions that Chris did at Woodford, they were a good laugh and the perfect platform to showcase my lack of talent!

I even got a free water bottle, one of those key rings with a supermarket trolley disc thingy on it and a commemorative photo of me with a load of fat blokes that could all play rugby better than me.

Just a reminder that Touch rugby is on tonight at 6:30 in east park. There is no cost and all are invited. So long as you are over 16. You don't need to have played before. There were 24 turn up last week, we had a tournament of 4 teams. It's a great way to play the game we all love without the risk of injury, or a way of brushing up on skills you can transfer into contact rugby league.

Cheers

James.

Just bumping this back up. We had a great turn out last week with 31. Again, its open to both males and females over the age of 16 of all fitness levels and abilities. It's a great laugh and a good bunch, so whether you fancy yourself as the next darren lockyer or you think you're more of a rumbling prop forward, come and give it a try.

Havnt been able to get down yet because of work but I'll be giving it a bash tonight I reckon. Go easy on me me though because im carrying a knock.

Was gonna give it a go tonight but after having a look in park I just saw a load of people looking as if they were warming up for an international rugby game and I thought "not for me".

I just thought it would be a simple turn up, pick teams and play!! CBA with a load of stretches and warm up exercises!!

Well done for organising something though and hope everyone else enjoys it!!!

Just to bump this back up. It's back on again tonight after the exploits of providing the pre match entertainment at the nines tournament last night, get yourselves down. As always its open to anyone over the age of 16, male and female, of all abilities and fitness. In reply to the poster who turned up and decided not to take part after seeing the warm-up. It's completely up to you whether you do it or not, after that its just a case of picking teams and playing. New players are welcome.

Sounds good But ill be at the other end of the city (costello) training with the Lads who are playing in the Saggy Trust game on saturday 25th June

Oh right, thanks.

I'll come give it a try another week then, i guess i just got the wrong idea but it just seemed really involved and our lass needed to be off with the car so i just got her to take me home. I didn't want to just walk up and say 'right, i'm not warming up but i've come to play' cos i thought that may have been a little rude on my first visit.
Thanks for the reply though!!
