Thursday 5th May- Marquee Ladies Night

The 125 party rocks into town with our sparkling fund raising Ladies Night, which if it's anything like the Ladies Lunch in July will be a quiet sober affair! Food, fizz and disco will be accompanied by cabaret star Drag Queen Dixi Tucker. Tickets £25 each. 

Friday 6th May - Marquee Sportsman's Dinner & Senior Players Awards

The 2021/22 fund raising Players Awards night will celebrate and recognise the achievements and contributions of the Mens 1XV, 2XV, 3XV, VETS, Ladies and Senior Colts players and teams.  Tickets are limited by capacity and are priced at £55, discounted to £35 for colts and students, which includes a 2 course meal and guest speaker Great Britain, England and Rugby League Salford legend Mr Adrian Morley. An unmissable event whch promises to upstage the previous awards night back in 2019 (yes it really is that long ago when we witnessed a senior citizen fall off the stage and laughed!).

Players who supported the club with the purchase of a Crowdfunder 'Summer Bundle' will be entitled to a free seat. Please contact the club captain to confirm your attendance.

Saturday 7th May - Marquee Dinner Dance - SOLD OUT!

Tickets for the fund raising Gala Dinner Dance have proven highly popular with almost half the tables already sold in just one week!
