In taking over the job of Team Secretary from Danny, who did a brilliant job in very difficult times, I have accepted an invitation to enter a team in the Old Isleworthians Touch Rugby Seven-a-Side Competition this Sunday, 24 July.

Old Isleworthians are holding a family day for their players and we are all invited. I understand there is a bouncy castle and other amusements for the children and there will be refreshments.

The Touch Rugby Sevens is nothing too serious, just a means of getting back into the swing of it, as it were and I don't think there are any other "outside" teams. The event starts around 12.30pm and so players should be at Wood Lane for midday.

If you are interested in playing, please let me know as soon as possible and, if not, just turn up anyway.

Incidentally, training has started at Old Isleworthians at 7.30pm on Wednesday evenings. Let's make an effort to get fit for the start of the season. Trials are on 3 September and the first fixture is 10 September. Our first league game is 1 October v Quintin.

In addition, it is somewhat ironic that we are in the same league as Old Isleworthians, who were most unfortunate to be relegated.

Hope you can make it on Sunday.

Finally, many thanks to Tommo who has agreed to be 1st Team skipper.

Regards

Geoff Upsdell
