3 Weeks to go

3 Weeks To Go!


Well there is only 3 weeks to go to the Nathan Cubitt Tag Rugby Event, and if the support on the day is anything like the support we are receiving already this will be a great day out for the teams, and we are hoping lots of supporters.


We have had some amazing gifts this week for our raffle, including a signed centenary style England shirt and thanks to those kind people at St Helens (yes Rugby League) for a Johnny Lomax shirt, that he has actually worn in a match! There's not many of either of these around for people to win. Sue is sorting the raffle tickets out and they will be on sale very soon.


We still have 10 places left for the event after a few of teams have had to pull out of the event, please take a look at our registration page and join us. I mean how often do you get the chance to play on the same pitch as the legend that is Jason Robinson? We welcome teams from Union clubs and League clubs, as well as companies and groups of friends. The day is about all egg chasers and supporters of Nathan coming together for a fantastic day, but with a great offer too for the winners to go to London to take part in a National Tag Rugby Event!!!!!


For those who are not aware, Nathan is spending the full weekend at home this weekend for the first time. I spoke with him yesterday and he was full of his normal bubbliness that rubs off on everyone who meets him. The next milestone for Nathan is on Thursday 10th May when he will be coming home for good, which will be great achievement, as the date kept being moved due to his progress being beyond what the care team thought he could do. He has surprised even his surgeon at LGI with what he can do. Just wonder whether the stress balls and Nerf guns have helped here Nathan, the chance to get into mischief always seems to drive you on fella, and keep it up!!!

I am sure that Nathan would also want us to post a big well done to Keighley Rugby Union Clubs 1st Team on their promotion last week, to go away and win in such a tight game is a great achievement. Now lets see if they are going to enter the Tag Rugby and win that too!!! Or maybe the director of rugby Mr Sheffield will pull his boots on and show them how its done (been a long time since we played together at Silsden, but I'm sure he can still manage a 7 minute half).


Don't forget if you want to help at the event as a volunteer there is a meeting at Keighley Rugby Club on Tuesday 8th at 7pm this is open to all volunteers and is to get you assigned to roles on the day. Please view the details on the facebook event page here Nathan Volunteers
