A week of mixed results

Hello,

I headed up to East Grinstead on Saturday to join the hard core of supporters to cheer on the first team as they secured a 21 – 34 win. Unfortunately, low player availability meant we had to concede the Beef’s game against Seaford. The previous weekend saw a narrow loss 34 – 29 for the women’s firsts away at Barnes.

This weekend sees the men in action at home with the first playing Cobham and the seconds playing local rivals Shoreham. On Sunday the women head off to play Hampstead.

There will be a club lunch before the games on Saturday, meal served at 1:30. Main course of steak or vegetarian pie, mash and vegetables followed by Sicilian Lemon Tart or a cheeseboard for £15 Kid’s menu of fish fingers and Chips followed by ice cream is also available for £6. To book contact Dean on dean@wantleymanor.com or on 07824700751 by Thursday lunchtime. There will also be a raffle of a pair of tickets for England v New Zealand.

Following the cancellation of the volunteer’s dinner we will be inviting volunteers from each age group to attend a club lunch; Dean will be in touch to let you know the dates available. We also rewarded some of our current volunteers with a draw for England tickets. Congratulations to Matt Thornton & Graeme Percival who will be at the Australia and Japan game.

We are also on the countdown to the Mini’s Halloween Party! All mini players and their and families welcome on Friday 1st November (so no need to miss trick and treating on Thursday!) Fancy dress encouraged for the disco and spooky party games from 6 – 8pm. Bar and Kitchen will be open from 5pm.
