A Celebration of Our Club Community
Join us for an afternoon that brings together the heart of our club — members, supporters, sponsors and players — for an afternoon of connection, conversation and shared pride. This is a rare chance to gather as one community, celebrate what binds us together and enjoy the company of old friends and new faces alike.
An Exceptional Afternoon of Food, Stories and Rugby
Set within the stunning Smith & Wollensky's near the Strand, guests will enjoy a three-course lunch, a drinks reception and the company of a special guest alongside a speaker from the world of rugby. Expect laughter, stories and the kind of atmosphere that reminds us why our club is such a unique place to belong.
Supporting the Future, Together
Alongside the celebrations, we'll also be running a selection of light fundraising activities to help support the continued growth of our club. Your presence and enthusiasm make all the difference — together we strengthen the legacy we've built and the future we're creating.
