End of Season Tour to Holland

Falkirk have been invited to play a game on Saturday 11th May 2013 at Rugby Club Etten-Leur (REL) in the south of Holland.

REL are a club very much like Falkirk both in size and league position. They share many of the same values as ourselves and have a recently celebrated their 40th anniversary. I was fortunate to have played with them while living in Holland a couple of years back and made many new friends.

This game would be the last ever game at the old REL pitch and clubhouse prior to the club moving to a new location. To be asked to play their last ever game on the old pitch is, in my opinion a great privilege and a fantastic opportunity to build new friendships and relationships in the rugby world.
We are looking to take a team over for the weekend using the tour company Burleigh Travel. The costs for a 3 night stay and travel are coming in at roughly £260.00
We realistically require 18-20 players to commit. Both the 1st VX and Sunnysiders squads are invited to join the fun as are any of the U18’s who feel they would like to attend.
We would also like to invite any club member who wishes to come along. Make new acquaintances, support the lads and enjoy the beautiful city of Breda.

In the first instance I need names of those interested. Deposits of £30.00 will then be required by the end of October with the remaining costs gathered nearer the time.

If you could email me personally to commit to the tour I will add you to the list. As it stands we have six players who have said they are interested in going.
Falkirk hasn’t had a proper tour in many years and this would be a great adventure.

Who’s in?

Kindest regards,
