Old Yardleians Players Reunion - Sat. 7th November 2009

We are having a Rugby Players Reunion at OYRFC. It will be a great time to catch up with everyone and reminisce about the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s rugby. There will be a special reunion game kicking off at 2.30, everyone is welcome to put their boots on for this - even if it is just for 10 minutes - it may have to be the old rules though! There will be music and food throughout the day and night, plus match videos and photos from the eighties and nineties. We would like everyone to be there - especially those who have appeared in team photos over the years - we need you all to contact each other to get here on the day. Organised by Pat and Shannon it will be a great day out. Please come along and bring other ex-players with you.
Can all attendees confirm their attendance by emailing Shannon at shannon.t.killarney@blueyonder.co.uk . We will publish a list of confirmed attendees on the club web site at http://www.oldyardsrugby.co.uk/reunion.aspx#attendees. This will encourage other people to come along, so PLEASE send an email to say you're coming.
