I will continue to help out whether its playing or in my role as Team Manager. Love the Boys, Love the Club, Love Rugby! UP THE TWS! “I moved to the area in my late teens and now live around five miles away. I played school rugby and then started my business Welsh Coast Custom who are a current club sponsor. I don’t get down to the club as often as I would like but gets regular feedback from my friends and it’s great to see the lads doing so well. My wife, Charmaine and I would like to wish everyone at the club continued success.” Gareth Birch “I first became involved in the club in the 1980s when I went along with friends to the club. At the time I worked away a lot and therefore played mainly for the 2nds in the front row. I continued playing up until work and family commitments just wouldn’t allow me to continue without something giving. Additionally, running a traffic management business many clients preferred training on a Saturday or Sunday which hampered playing times, starting training courses early sometimes allowed me to get away. I can’t speak highly enough about the people who have stood by the club and do so much work behind the scenes including the likes of Ryan Draper. The club has a really good mix of young and old at the moment. We offer a full and comprehensive set of training courses Telephone: 07511495999 Email: [email protected] My business Phase One Traffic Management Training are club sponsors and like to help out when we can. There is no reason why the club can’t gain promotion this season and enjoy their planned tour to Bournemouth. Best wishes to everyone at the club on such a fantastic season.” Dai Clarke www.rugbyclubmag.com 33
