As always, the continued support of all our sponsors is the lifeblood of the club – without which we wouldn’t exist. Thank you!

Details for the annual club dinner are now confirmed.

The dinner will be held on Friday May 1st at the Maynard Hotel in Grindleford. The evening will be charged at £27.50 a head for the meal.

We will have the club awards and a disco. Arrival time should be 7pm, with the meal starting at 7.30 and finishing around 1pm. Could everyone try and stick to these times so we don’t cut into the drinking time

As a reminder this is a formal occasion with dinner suits, bow ties and evening dresses for the ladies. For those without suits, black trousers with white shirts are the only exceptions apart from kilts!!

Please contact Steve Richardson (07973 709286) or Colin Field (07887 841096) ASAP if you want to attend so catering requirements can be finalised. If you do not know anyone organising a table then please mention this when you call so that seating can be arranged.

The club AGM will be held on Saturday 18th April, 12.00pm, in the Peak Castleton. This is before the away game at Buxton.

Committee Nominations – There will be a list going up in the Peak from April the 8th for anyone to propose, nominate or second any person as a committee member.

All players or non players are welcome.

Sale Sharks will be hosting a rugby camp at Hope Valley College!

The camp will take place from the 27th – 29th May 2008 over the Spring Bank Holidays.

It will include two days coaching at the College and a trip to Carrington to the Sale Sharks training facility.

It’s been too long in coming but we have finally started getting some of the photos of the Hope Valley teams throughout the years up on the website. We are still working through a load of old, damaged photos to try and salvage some and also have some newer material to work on as well.

You can find the gallery under the links section of the website, but it is available at the following URL:

We will continue to add more photos as time goes on. If any ex-players happen to have any photos if their basement then please get in touch with a member of the club.
