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.

THE SOUTHERN UPLAND WAY ??

Hello All

I hope you don't mind me plagerising Pauls mail? Good luck against the school, when did the PG's last win the match??

Now, I have another purpose for this mail. As you may know I am very involved in rugby charities and for my sins am now Chairman of Hearts and Balls which is specifically constituted to assist those disadvantaged from the game we love. The charity has grown significantly over the last couple of years and we are closely associated with the Sportsman’s Charity as well. They have a wonderful initiative for a challenge to run, or walk, The Southern Upland Way which starts at St Mary’s Loch and will finish at the Greenyards in Melrose – can I point you at www.heartsandheroes.co.uk for further information?

I would like you to rustle up some support for one or more North Berwick RFC teams to take part in the event which will take place on 16th May 2009 - I have spoken with the Club Captain and am confident he will organise at least one team. Each team needs to pay £300 to enter and although it could arrange that from a suitable sponsor, the main goal is to attain sponsorship for the Challenge to raise significant funds for those not as well off as we are.

Please let me have your thoughts?

Yours in rugby football ….

Jim
