As you may know, Banff Rugby Club - Scotland will have been playing for 40 years this year. To celebrate, we will be hosting ‘A Celebration of Rugby’ in Banff on 25th - 26th May.

The weekend of celebration will commence on the evening of the 25th, with a Charity Black Tie Dinner in the Fife Lodge Hotel, Banff. With all profit from the evening being donated to Doddie Weir' “My Name’5 Doddie Foundation” – which is to help fund research into Motor Neuron Disease.

Prior to the meal, Former Club Captain and President, Hein Mijzen will return, on two wheels, from his 1500 km charity cycle around Ireland. Donations from this will be split between the “My Name’5 Doddie Foundation” and youth development at Banff Rugby Club. Look out for a link in due course.

A three course meal will be served with welcome and toast drinks and a glass of Port . These are included in ticket price.
Dinner will be followed by a Q & A session with guest speakers, Iain 'The Bear' Milne of Heriots, Edinburgh, Scotland and British and Irish Lions & Jade Konkel of Inverness Craig Dunain, Hillhead Jordanhill, Lile and Scotland Ladies. Peter Mitchell will Chair the session.

Tickets for this event are £40 per head and prior booking is essential with early booking appreciated. Tables of 10 are preferred although not critical.

RSVP by 10th May, although early indication of interest would be very much appreciated. Tickets are available from Bob Philips (Bobphilips25@live.co.uk)

On Saturday 26th Banff Rugby Club House will open its doors to continue the celebrations. A family fun day is planned with activities for all, including a bouncy castle and BBQ.
We will also be showcasing the history of the club in the lounge. If you have any memorabilia you could share with us, please let Bob Philips know..

Both the Ladies and Men’s teams will be playing “North Select’ sides with players from across the region in two exhibition matches.

The Club House Lounge will be open after these matches with some free entertainment to finish off our celebrations.
