All players are reminded of the club's recruitment drive this summer to bolster SNOBs' playing membership. All members are reminded of the club's Cashback Scheme where members can earn £75 for every successful referral - follow the link for more details.

Please be pro-active in recruitment, and take personal responsibility for bringing down at least one new member. Greater playing depth will improve the quality and enjoyment of training sessions, improve the playing standards of both XVs and improve the social aspect of the club.
