  29/10/08 - EGM - Change of Name - St Nicholas Old Boys RFC
 

An Emergency General Meeting will be held in the clubhouse at 19:30 on Wednesday 29th October 2008 to discuss the proposal the committee have to re- name St Nicholas Old Boys RFC to a name with direct links to our local community e.g. Ickenham RFC.

  26/10/08 - Movember
 

The club raised a fantastic £1,100 in support of the Paul Strickland Scanner Centre this Saturday – the chosen charity of our ex-chairman Richard Bird (MBE)’s family, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Many thanks to all of you for your generous donations.

To allow us to raise some additional fundage for this very worthwhile cause the club are encouraging all its members to support “Movember”– essentially growing and maintaining a moustache for the month of November in support of the Paul Strickland Scanner Centre. Rules for Movember can be found in the Movember Rules document.

Since we are raising money for a very worthy cause so I would like to encourage you all to participate, however ridiculous you might think you will look – we will all be in the same boat. Remember, it is not about who gets the best moustache – it is about participating. So let’s have no excuses, and all get involved! Please don’t forget that the purpose of Movember is to raise money for Charity – we have our team website set up for on-line donations at:

http://www.justgiving.com/snobs_movember

Each of us should aim to raise as much as we can through sponsorship – so please encourage friends, family and random acquaintances to support the cause. If you would rather support this cause by cheque please send a cheque payable to ‘SNOBs RFC’ to the following address:

Tony Horan
Paul Strickland Scanner Centre Appeal
38 Edinburgh Drive
Ickenham
Middlesex
UB10 8QY

The club will then make one payment to the Paul Strickland Scanner Centre.
