For those of a different generation, the bar being open and packed to the rafters was a regular occurrence. Over the years we lost control of the bar, and the social area, and eventually people stopped coming. Now the bar is back, and we can look forward as a club, and building those friendships and close associations that our club is famous for.

The bar opened at 12:00, and whilst this was meant to be a "soft launch" it was anything but. The place was packed, it was great to be back at our home. Drinks were being served, and the place was buzzing. This is what a rugby club is all about.

A huge vote of thanks to Denise Robinson who has worked tirelessly to get the bar, licence and everything sorted. Without her endeavour we would not have been able to make this happen.

Next week, we have the bar open from 13:00. This'll be a one pot wonder afternoon, so expect something from the Dan Hull range to compliment the drinks available. First come, first served. If you don't want to eat, no problem, come down anyway!
