• KENILWORTH RFC GOLF DAY - This year’s KRFC Golf Day will be held at Stoneleigh Golf Club on Fri 7^th June and will include a round of golf followed by a curry back at the club, courtesy of the Sunam Balti. Cost will be £35 to include the golf, prizes and food. For further information contact Jai Purewal or Dom Carrick.

• BRUNCH WITH A LION - In response to feedback and concerns expressed in relation to the ‘Brunch with a Lion’ event on 29^th June during the 2nd Lions test when former Lion Doddie Weir is the guest speaker, it will be now held within the Lounge (function room) area of the club thus making the main bar available to those who simply want to watch the game on the Clubs other ‘big screen’.

This has reduced the ‘Brunch with a Lion’ ticket limit to 80 people. As interest in the event is extremely high you will need to secure your tickets as soon as is possible – to do that please contact David Blackburn at: This email address is being protected from spambots.

However look out for the club opening for Saturday ‘non test’ games (starting with the Barbarians game in Hong Kong) – full details will be issued nearer the time and posted on the web site.

• The AGM has been set for 26^th June @ 8pm @ the club.

• Volunteers needed - Warwickshire Summer Sevens – Saturday 15th June 2013 – 12 noon (Start time tbc)

Kenilworth Rugby Club have been invited to host the first of three Warwickshire Summer Sevens events to be held throughout the County this summer. It is anticipated that up to 9 club sides will be participating with ourselves, Barker Butts, Sutton Coldfield, Stoke Old Boys, Earlsdon and Leamington already having committed to the competition.

We are hosting the competition down at the Cowpatch (as two pitches will be required throughout the event). To do that we also intend to provide food and of course drink to keep players and spectators ‘happy’. As such, we need volunteers to assist in the setting up and running of a bar and the provision of barbeque food throughout the event.

Can you please let me know if you are available to help out on the day, even if it is only for an hour or so, your help and involvement will be most welcome.

If you can help out, please contact me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or on 07595893825

• Does anyone have a spare Hoover that still works. The club’s existing one is on its last legs and Paul would appreciate a ‘new’ one!

• Is there anyone in the club who can sort out our TV/Sky/DVD system to make it easier to operate and use throughout the club. In the ideal world we want the Sky box/DVD sets behind the bar and wired up to all three TV’s. If you think you can help with this let me know.
