Our Leisure
RUGBY IS BACK Dare we say it? Rugby is back as we all remember it. Fifteen a side competitive games between evenly matched clubs with Stourbridge winning the majority of the encounters. Crowds cheering, parents nervously watching their children. We have even missed the dreaded referee whistles. We have missed the light hearted banter, the postmatch chat over a beer or two and we have missed most of all the friendship and goodwill and all those much repeated reminiscences that we have not had the opportunity to repeat for some eighteen months.
McGeechan of British and Irish Lions renown and the inimitable Test Match Special expert Jonathan Agnew, who you might have heard developing a second career as one of the equestrian commentators at the recent Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Our Master of Ceremonies on the day will be ex British and Irish Lions winger John Bentley. Please come and join us at a home game in what we trust will be a balmy September. Our two opening games are here at Stourton Park against Sheffield Tigers on September 4th and against Hull on September 11th.
As well as the on-field return to normality we have witnessed a surge of interest in booking parties in the club house and a healthy take up of tables for our Corporate Lunch on September 24th and the evening ball on Saturday 25th. With increased confidence we can look forward to our Family Bonfire and Fireworks night on Friday November 5th.
Our Mini and Junior boys and girls and our Ladies are desperate to get back to the game and training started in early August. We are indebted to all the hard work and commitment shown by so many members and sponsors as we have worked our way through the last eighteen months.
Just a reminder that the speakers at the Corporate Lunch in September will be Sir Ian
Stay safe and well. 48
