Tour Payments Deadline Sunday 15th Feb

The absolute final deadline for getting your £175/150 to me is this weekend as I will be sending a cheque off on Monday. If you paid the intial £25 or told me you were coming but did not pay the initial £25, I assume you're still coming unless you have let me know otherwise.

There are still spaces available for those who don't mind touring without stash, just get a cheque for £175 to me by Sunday and facebook me to confirm you have dropped it off as I'm away on Saturday and Sunday. I apologise if I've been difficult to get hold of this week, I've had a busy one.

Just want to emphasise the fact that this is the FINAL deadline for those wanting to come on tour!

Hope you are all well

League Decider and Fundraising Event 21st February

Our last league game of 2008/09 is on Saturday 21st February at Norton against Pontefract Pythons. KO 2.15pm. If we win this game we secure promotion to Yorkshire Division 4 next year!! I hope you can make it down to cheer us on! Bring girlfriends, wives, friends and family! We welcome all the support you can muster!!

Then in the evening come to the West End for a fundraising party for TOUR! This is obviously very important not only for the club but also eveyone who is on tour as it will massively help with the cost! The upstairs of the west end is reserved just for us, Pops (James) will be performing live and the Landlord has kindly donated some fantastic prizes for us to raffle off!

Entry will be £2 on the night and drinks promotions at the bar!! There will also be an auction of some of the old club kit from the last few seasons! Try and get everyone involved - should be an awesome night!!! gig will start at 9 on the night! then on to Pop Tarts after!

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!
