We’ve had a lot to celebrate this season and we really did it in style last weekend with players and members alike coming together to celebrate what a great season we have had with the end of season Presentation Evening dinner & dance.
The clubhouse was really buzzing and it was wonderful to see everyone taking the opportunity to dress up for the occasion. The evening kicked off with a selection of canapés before everyone took their seats to enjoy a delicious dinner followed by a night of dancing to the sounds of the “Where’s Martin” band.

Congratulations to both Ollie Thomas and Reuben Woodham who played in the RFU Warwickshire festival recently, representing Gloucester u17’s against Harlequins, Saracens and Sale.
