Come and Break Rugby World Record, 12th August Haddington Rugby Club

HRFC are planning to break the world record for the most players in a rugby match, to mark the town’s celebrations of 700 years of having a Royal Charter.
The match will be played on Sunday 12th August and will take the form of a continuous game of touch rugby. The current record is 442 players, but the plan is to get to 700.
Club President Keith Wallace said “We wanted to mark the town’s landmark year with something special, since we have been part of the town for 107 of these years. Using this format everyone over the age of 5 can take part. So for young and old, male or female this is a chance to call yourself a world record holder”
The event is expected to take around five hours, with each player needing to play for at least ten minutes and have influence on the game. There will be entertainment, food and drink available to keep interest going.
The event will also seek to raise money for the Club’s partner Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby. Gavin Hastings, Honorary President of Wooden Spoon Scotland, said: "I wish Haddington RFC all success in their world record bid. Delighted that raising funds for disadvantaged children is an integral part of the day".
All taking part need to pre-register to meet Guinness World Record rules, this can be individually or in groups of up to seven, so seven from a team/club or seven from a family can play together. Larger groups can register in multiples of seven. It is open to all.
