Gala Dinner money due

Fellow SMRUFC Members,

It is once again time for you to dry clean those suits, polish those
shoes and desperately ask any girl you know to accompany you to this
years Gala Dinner.

The venue is the Holiday Inn, the date is 14th November and the meet
at the hotel between 7 and 7.30 to eat at 8. £30 will provide you with
a three course meal (the pudding’s soft enough so you won’t need your
spoons), half a bottle of wine and some old guy masquerading as a DJ
so you can carry on the party all night (as long as its not after
1am).

The old boys this year are taking part in a golf day prior to the
dinner to entice greater numbers. There are only 90 places in total
that will be sold on a first come first served basis. You’re all
encouraged to bring wives (Rees), fiancés (Tissa), girlfriends
(Sellens), partners (that’ll be Pops for me) or even some girl you
woke up next to the week before (Gaynor). I advise you to do this as
they’ll only moan when they’re told they’re not allowed at old boys.

Every year the event is a success but this year we’re really trying to
increase the numbers of old boys. Last time we spent an evening at the
Holiday Inn (Old Boys 2008) it was truly a night to savour and in my
top 10 at university. It’s your chance to meet some of the former
members of the club, who now provide us with drinking money whilst on
tour, and have a jolly good drink with them. Give your cheques (made
payable to USUS Medics Rugby) to either myself, Dave Allanson or R-reg
(Roshan), as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

Yours in rugby

Gala Day - Golfers please contact Glen

Salutations!

As many of you will know by now, Gala Dinner has been pencilled in for Saturday 14th November. The usual ruloes apply, however this year is a little more ambitious than usual.

Glen Irving (Chief Old Boy) has devised an ingenious way to turn what was once a mere dinner into a day long event of high quality fin and entertainment, able to be enjoyed by young and old alike. By his own admission the turd...sorry, 'plan' needs a little polishing, however the basic premise is below.

Please let Glen know if you would like to play golf. You don't need to be good, but no 'Happy Gilmore' shots will be allowed...in fact, to be safe it's probably best to say that anything associated with the word 'Gilmore' be banned from the golf. Sorry Simon.
