Robbie's Rugby Festival A festival of rugby, music and food in Leicestershire, in aid of The Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust. Ba We hope you can join us and be a part of it.

Please join us to celebrate a festival of rugby, music and food with a twist, in aid of The Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust. The vision for Robbie's Rugby Festival and Party on the Pitch is to create an atmospheric, unforgettable, inspiring event that leaves a legacy to remembered by uniting local communities and businesses. SATURDAY - FROM 10AM
Robbie's Rugby Festival - Based around a rugby 10's tournament the day offers something for everyone; rugby, Pimms, a children's activities area, and a selection of live music as well as a large traditional BBQ, onsite gift and food market, minis tag, and numerous charitable fundraising activities. The Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust - During Robbie's 15 month battle with a rare form of terminal cancer, age just 12, he created The Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust (RACT). A trust that aims to provide a facility where all children are treated in age appropriate surroundings, demonstrated by the milestone opening of ward 27 at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in February 2013. Cancer is a battle that must be fought on all fronts, the psychological fight is in many ways just as important as the physical care, the RACT recognize this and thus provide home comforts and recreational equipment which are just as essential as the clinical surroundings that patients are treated within. The weekend's events are to be held at:

Loughborough Grammar School Playing Fields
43 Woodhouse Road
Quorn
Loughborough Endowed Schools
Leicestershire
LE12 8AJ

TOURNAMENT DETAILS
Players must be 18 or over (for insurance purposes) and there should be a minimum of 15 players per team. There will also be a separate social round robin tournament for those teams wishing to play in a more relaxed atmosphere. If you would like to enter a team please contact [email protected]
