A very special night at Welsh Rugby Clubs Lodge No.9986 as we welcomed visitors from French Rugby Lodges, the night before Wales v France in the 6 Nations. With gifts, rugby banter, fun & friendship, & singing, rugby caps & berets, this was a perfect evening. We hope the start of a long friendship between WRCL and France.

A fantastic number of Welsh grassroots mini & junior rugby teams have benefitted from donations from Welsh Rugby Clubs Lodge to buy training aids, such as tackle bags. We are "Passing It Forward" to help youngsters enjoy the game as much as we do. See example 👇

As well as a player & coach, Dominic has played a large role in increasing participation in rugby on the Island and helping develop from 80 to 800 players at every aged group including Women's rugby. Both are members of Welsh Rugby Clubs Lodge and were supported by 7 members this evening.

Thanks to all who came last night and celebrated our deep friendships and love for our dearly departed brother Gareth Duddridge. We had good fun with family & friends sharing photos, videos and stories & laughter of the times we all had... and we will continue to remember him as part of our very special Welsh Rugby Clubs Lodge No.9986. Last night you all helped raise £1,130 for Ty Hafan Childrens Hospice in Wales in his memory which is fantastic. Special thanks to South Wales Mark Masons who donated £250. We are still accepting donations if you were unable to attend and want to make a donation in Gareth's memory. Brethren you can either donate to Ty Hafan directly through the link or transfer the funds over to me and I will take them down there personally at lunchtime with the rest of the funds. Thanks very much 🙂
