Due to a number of recent events the Club Committee has made the decision to suspend Nigel Parker from the Club for a period of a minimum of 6 months. His position will be reviewed at that time.
Until such review has taken place Nigel is not authorised to act on behalf of The Club in any way, nor is he to coach or play at any level.
It is regrettable that we have had to take this extreme measure but the Committee must do what it considers best for the Club, its players and all its members. We hope that the situation can be resolved during this period.

PLEASE PUT THIS DATE IN YOUR DIARY AND RELIVE THE STORIES (TRUE OR OTHERWISE) OF FORMAR YEARS.
Due to the state of the pitches, all matches on Saturday 16th January and Sunday 17th January have been cancelled or postponed.

Festive cheer was order of the day as the club had its Festive Cross Bar Challenge in a winter wonderland which was the 3rd team pitch.
Despite the snow and the cold there were lots of people around to give it a go. After an hour and a half Francis Wilson stepped up and with one well guided kick he managed the impossible and walked of with a Nintendo wii Sports pack which was kindly donated by John Lewis Welwyn. This was a fantastic result as Francis son plays for the U10 squad and is a keen supporter of Mini Rugby. The result meant the party could continue inside with Hog rolls and mulled wine been quaffed with gusto.
The aim of the day was to raise funds for Welwyn Bravehearts mixed and special needs rugby group. With kind donations from Fullers, Tesco Community, John Lewis Welwyn, RAM Rugby and Gareths The Butchers the day made £800. So a big thank you and a Merry Christmas to one and all.
