Monday 17 December 2012

Christmas Party. Rugby Club. 19/12/12. 18:00-18:30 start.

We will be holding a Christmas Party for the Dragons in the Rugby Club this Wednesday(19/12/12). Please arrive between 6 and 6:30pm. I really need your help! Please, please can I have volunteers for the following: Party Games and music (suitable, no hardcore drum and bass!). Please can you also chose an item of food to bring to the party. Add a comment on this blog post so that everyone else know what you are bringing so we don't end up with 12 plates of Pizza (although that would be no bad thing!). Can I suggest the following (feel free to chose something different): Mince Pies for mums and dads, pizza, sausage rolls, crisps, sandwiches (we will will need more than one plate), cakes and biscuits. There will be presents for the Dragons! Thanks for your help. Mark.

I will try and get a Santa outfit if I can? We will bring crisps and sandwiches. We have to leave at 7:15 as we are going to a birthday party at 7:30. Hopefully Nigel or Caron will take Rhidian home for us later.

Rhidian can come home with us Sonia.

Shall I supply the pizza then? Will Ben be ok if there are no hot dogs?!

Games - rugby-pass the parcel, musical statues/chairs, rugby quiz (some questions on what we want them to learn and some general stuff), The Welsh Haka (I brush my teeth in the morning when I get up-a!) Best dancers to that Gangnam style record thingy, tug of war (although I can't see skinny allowing it), Monkey tennis...

I guess we should stay away from the more usual rugby team games... quickest to drink a pint of squash, who can eat the most boiled eggs in a minute etc...

Oliver has volunteered to be the DJ, he's uploaded some dance tracks including Gagnam Style, so look forward to seeing the Dad's doing that! We've also got 'Now thats what I call Xmas' so there's plenty of dance music for them. I'll bring a tray of egg sandwiches and two boxes of chocolate fingers.

Joining Our Team

If you are visiting the blog because you are interested in joining our team I thought you may like some information about us.

The Mumbles Dragons are a great little team. Our current age group is under 11’s which caters for boys and girls in year 6. We are part of Mumbles RFC a club with great heritage and an exciting future as we plan to build new pitches and an amazing club house in Underhill Park. Our team has many original players who started when they were just 6 years old. Unfortunately some of our team stopped playing rugby at the start of this season because of other
commitments. This is why we are trying to recruit.

We train every Wednesday evening in Whitestone Primary School at 18:30. Games are held on Sunday mornings. There are hundreds of photographs on our blog that show the team in action.

There won’t be any charge for new players until you are sure you want to join our team. Come along to training, meet the players, and see if you like it. If you stay with us our subs are just £3.50 a month if you pay by direct debit. We will provide a team jersey and socks. The kit required is basic. You will need a pair of rugby boots and a gum shield (available from stores such as Sports Direct).

If you would like to try rugby and meet the team it would be great to see you. Give me a call on 07468 742 631. Thanks for your interest. Mark.
