Anyone who ever pulled an Olney shirt on; or who ever wanted to play for the rugby club, is invited to join in a special event this September which is celebrating the new Doffs Field playing facilities which the club is currently fundraising for.

The Non-Stop Rugby day will be taking place at Olney rugby club on Saturday 5 September 2009.  A game of rugby will be running for around 4 hours, in which time the rules and players will change according to age bandings, with each player on the field for around 10 minutes.  Contact is entirely optional!  It is hoped that people who played for Olney in the past will come back to the club for this event and stay on for the social evening which will be laid on after the rugby has finished.  It presents a great chance to formally open ‘Doff’s Field’ and give everyone a chance to share memories and make some new ones into the evening!

Players from every section of the club will be taking part, with the mini section starting off the game.  Players will be split into two teams – the ‘cerise’ team; and the ‘grey’ team, paying homage to Olney’s pink and grey strip.  Those taking part will be asked to pay a small amount towards running the day.

The event is in the development stage but it is hoped that early publicity will enable as many people to join in as possible.  For now, people are asked to register their interest by emailing: nonstopolney@live.co.uk – with their contact details – more details will then be issued once the event is finalised.
