COLTS JOIN THE 7s PARTY
A big shout out to our colts who got stuck into the Sussex 7s series jamboree at Heathfield last weekend. They joined many other familiar G’s faces representing 7 Burgers and Ratana 7’s.

Well done lads!

RIDE FOR RATANA
Just a reminder that the motorbike ‘Ride Out’ in memory of Matt, is at the club this Saturday!

It is nearly five years since we tragically lost our head coach Matt. One of the ways we remember him is to be the starting point for a huge annual motorcycle procession - It is an event that I know would make Matt smile. To watch a short video of last years event, click here: Ride Out 2024

We are expecting over 100 bikes to be meeting in the car park at the club at 10am, all of the riders from the police or EGRFC, ready to ride to remember Matt. Please come and enjoy the machines and wave them off on their memorial ride as we once more remember the great man.

The clubhouse will be open for food and drink, so see you all on the 21st June!!

LIONS AT SAINT HILL
Unless you have been living under a rock, you will know that there is a very interesting rugby tour on!! We will be showing the Lions Test matches on the 19th July 26th July & 2nd August. All three tests kick off at 11, so we will be offering a full English cooked breakfast starting at 10am. What a brilliant morning that will be - get it in the diary!!

Rumour has it, there may even be a BBQ lunch after the match for those still hungry!

CLUB CAR BOOT
