Stash Collection Times

The Stash Shop will be open from 8:30pm this evening (Thursday) and also ALL DAY(!!!) tomorrow (Friday).

If you haven't yet collected your kit then please see Whiting at 30 Beech Hill Road, the top of the road up from the Med School as soon as possible. Everyone knows stash is one of the best things about playing Rugby (let's face it, we don't do it for the joy of cuddling fat Yorkshiremen in the rain on a Saturday!), so go get yours today! Also could you please check your packages as soon as possible after you pick them up, as there have been (literally) one or two errors, and it's better Whiting finds out soon so he can try to sort it out.

Anyone who needs to get in touch with Whiting for any reason, his number is 07877 841229. Happy Stash Day everyone!!

Old Boys' Day confirmed for 25th April!

Social Sec James Attwood has confirmed that the Old Boys' Rugby match and dinner will be held this year on Saturday 25th April

The day will start fairly early with the election of next year's club committee and voting for club awards in the West End, followed by the annual drubbing of the current squad by the much fitter, wiser and drunker Old Boys (well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!). After that it's on to the Hilton Hotel in the centre of town for the annual knees up and dinner, black tie is the dress code as always. Tickets are £30 for current club members and £35 for Old Boys, which is a real bargain considering how good it's going to be!

Money (cheques only, payable to U.S.U.S Medics Rugby) should be given to Attwood as soon as possible, either at training or by post: 1 Pisgah House Road, Broomhill, Sheffield, S10 5BJ (haha BJ...). As always Attwood is available on his mobile (07912 604532) if you have any questions.

Stash Collection - Don't harass Whiting's housemates!!

From James Whiting: "Stash has arrived and me and Sellens took 5 hours packaging it all up for you lovely people. You can come collect it tonight (26/01/09) after 8pm from my house. 30 Beech Hill Road, the top of the road up from the Med School.

I'll let you know some other collection times later in the week. Depends when I'm back from Leeds as I don't want to make my housemates dish it out cos they all have exams and are working hard etc.

Also we are 1 Tshirt, and compression leggins short. If you can all check your packages and have a bit of honesty we can sort it all out. 3 mistakes (hopefully) out of 76 packages isn't bad going by me and Sellens... Obviously if there is anything wrong, you know where to find me and have a moan, my mobile's 07877 841229 if your kit fever can't wait!"

Just to remind you all of what you're getting - the stash!

Club Songs and Games available to download

My request for club songs and games on the forum was answered by quite a few of you, but no one took up the challenge with as much Passion as Michael 'St Foxy' Fox

Behold his creation!! - a club hymn-book in the style of the bible, containing a pretty comprehensive list of all our club songs and games, including Yogi Bear, Tampax Factory, and of course: Men of Sheffield. It also contains songs that we just like to sing, such as Rock the Casbah, You've Lost that Loving Feeling, and American Pie!

So get downloading and learning before Tour, as there's now no excuse for not knowing!

Old Boys Dinner - Coming Soon!

If it wasn't for Tour, Old Boys' Dinner would be the best thing about Medics Rugby. Not only is there a dinner where you can get bollocksed in a tux and have loads of drinks bought for you, before that is a whole day of fun starting with bacon sarnies in the West End and Committee elections for next year, after which it's off to Norton for the annual Old Boys vs Current Players match (which last year was won by the far superior Old Boys before their legs got snapped...), so the pressure is on the youngsters to reclaim the crown this year. Be warned though, the Old Boys won't go down without a fight!

More details will be posted on here in the coming weeks, but keep around £30 earmarked for this annual festival of wanton depravity and champagne rugby skills - It's a masterclass in Rugby and Drinking from those who've been doing it the longest, not an event to be missed!

Mr Men Fancy Dress this Saturday!

Social Sec James Attwood has been busy over the Christmas period! In spite of exams and festive drinking, he has managed to organise some socials!

This week sees the Mr Men fancy dress social in the West End on Saturday after the games, and seeing what Attwood's done with costume socials so far this year, it promises to be a top fun night! In case you've forgotten how many Mister Men there are, here's a handy guide

Get working on those costumes (cardboard and paint should do most of them!), as Sheffield has a long and illustrious history of Mr Men costumes, and we wouldn't want to let the side down!
