Puffin Gannets & North Berwick RFC

The Royal Burgh of North Berwick is a seaside town in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles east of Edinburgh. Several of the Islands of the Forth near the town host thriving colonies of sea birds. The most famous island being the Bass Rock which is home for many thousands of Puffins and tens of thousands of Gannets.

The town has a great sense of community spirit and North Berwick RFC is one of the main hubs. The club has active teams in senior, youth and mini rugby. The rugby club, at Recreation Park, is where you are most likely to find one or more of the rare Puffin Gannets. These mature members of the club like to give their wisdom and advice to the whippersnappers who play in the numerous teams the club fields. From time to time, the old Puffin Gannets put down their pints and nips, hang up their coats and scarfs, pack up the walking frames and sticks to don the pink and grey shirts, head out to the park and attempt to entertain with their particular brand of Puffin Gannet, Golden Oldie Rugby.

GRAND FINALE DINNER etc

This takes place at Ingliston on the Sunday evening - it is included in the package for visiting teams so it will be a massive affair. Local players have to buy a ticket at a cost £94 - yep £94 ! I am told by Scott H that is all inclusive - drink , wine and fantastic entertainment. I plan to go and it would be great to have good representation - please e-mail me ir.mclean@yahoo.co.uk text me 07711 745719 or leave a comment on the blog if interested - We need to know next week ( sorry for late intimation ). Other halves are allowed if you are flush with cash

I am assuming that there will be less interest in the Highland Day Out at Musselburgh Race Course - £44 on the Wednesday but let me know if interested. Kids welcome £17

On Games Days there will be a Festival Marquee at Murrayfield - food and drink 9.00am - 8.00pm - Festival ID will be required
