It’s hard to believe I know, but it’s only a few short weeks to the start of London Media’s 21st season. At the moment we’re busy sorting out the usual pre-season administration and James Clements has been hard at work finalising the fixtures. The results of his handiwork can be found under ‘Fixtures and Results’. (Still under construction – Ed.)
The numbers at Monday’s and Wednesday’s touch rugby / training sessions are steadily climbing and new faces have been spotted including, rumour has it, at least one Prop. The more people we can get down there the better, so please take time to download the attached poster and put a copy up in your local pub / gym / members only sauna etc. (poster download).
The first pre-season event for your diary will be the inaugural London Media 5k run at Battersea Park – a chance to test your fitness against finest bellies the Vets can muster. The date will be confirmed very shortly (mid August), but the general idea is to run twice around Battersea Park without stopping for a beer or ciggy …then trot down the Latchmere to get tucked into the beers and ciggies.
On the 5th September we will be having a one night ‘mini tour’ to play a warm-up game somewhere in the UK. The venue is top secret at the moment, but now would be a good time to apply for a green card from your other halves (or get a note from your mum if more appropriate). We’ll be leaving Saturday morning and returning Sunday lunchtime.
Finally a reminder that subs will be due 1st September. They have been frozen at £50 for the year, for which you get insured, fed and (usually) watered after every game. Our subs also have to pay for the pitch hire, new kit, referees and winter training, so PLEASE make Window’s life easier this year and PAY UP EARLY!
Happy training folks and see you all soon.
Judge.
