THIS WEEKEND

We have another very egg-citing weekend lined up for you.

Our 1st XV take on local rivals TJs at the Slade in Tonbridge, the 2s are away at Gillingham and our 3rds host Hastings & Bexhill tomorrow.

On Sunday we have a whole host of action (see below) but be sure to stick around (or return to) the clubhouse after your sessions because…

… we’re holding a fun charity event in aid of the Back Up Trust - check out Crack Up for Back Up below

… the U18 girls are playing their first home match of the season on the 1st XV pitch

BEST OF LUCK TO THE HOME NATIONS

This weekend also sees more World Cup Action that you can enjoy on the Big Screen at the Paddock.

We’re sending all our best wishes to the home nations competing over the weekend and in particular Mighty Oak (and England player) Ben Earl. Check out what he thinks here…

VOLUNTEER REQUIRED URGENTLY - CLUB SAFEGUARDING OFFICER

After many, many years of faithful service we’re very sorry to see Andy Clark stepping down as the Club’s Safeguarding Officer (CSO). He’s done a fabulous job of keeping the Club (and most importantly the children at the Club) safe in what is an extremely important role, and after a long and patient wait he’s found his dream home towards the South East coast where we hope he’ll be extremely happy (although we hope he’ll visit often!).

Whilst safeguarding in rugby is everyone’s responsibility, the CSO is responsible for championing safeguarding and the safety and welfare of all children and adults at risk at the Club. It is vital that we find a volunteer for this role imminently so they can receive a full and proper handover from Andy.

If you are interested in finding out more about this important role, please contact us now or see the full job description here. The role is suited to school teachers, policemen or other forces personnel or someone who has worked in social care, but if you have other experience and are interested we’d love to here from you.

SCHOOLS TAG COMPETITION

Thanks to all the volunteers and well done to all of the children from local Sevenoaks Schools who made this year’s Primary Schools Tag Competition a huge success!

THIS SUNDAY’S PITCH PLAN

If you have photos or other content from your age group - please share it with your head coach.

ADHD AWARENESS MONTH

ADHD Awareness Month runs from 1st to 31st October and aims to help educate people on the issues and obstacles ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) people face on a daily basis.

Between 2 to 5% of UK school children have a ‘type’ of ADHD therefore, it’s likely that most age groups have 1, 2 or more ADHD children.

ADHD Awareness Month is the perfect opportunity for our coaches to educate themselves about ADHD and promote respect and compassion for those with the condition.

FILL YOUR KIT BAG

Don’t forget that the Club Shop is open online using the link below and in the Clubhouse on Sunday mornings. The Clubhouse shop has additional items and the second hand rack - don’t miss out!

OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR CLUB

Don’t forget that there are plenty of other ways to support the Club:
