SI Rugby”s 4 presidents are delighted to welcome Suki, Ros, and Joy as members of SI Rugby. The club held a very successful New Members Evening and several women expressed a wish to join us.

£201 was raised. A coffee morning was held to raise money for Handicap International. HIUK (Handicap International UK) provides limbs for people who have lost theirs through stepping landmines and cluster bombs. It costs £30 for one artificial limb. While one limb will last white a while for an adult, because children grow they need to change their limbs every 6/7 months. The government is going to match pound for pound any money raised before July so our £201 becomes £402 plus it was gift aided which makes a grand total of; £452
