Hope Valley RUFC

The Hope Valley pre-season training starts next week. The details are:

Thursday July 1st
7pm
Castleton Playing Fields

All existing players should make an effort to attend. If anyone else is interested in getting involved with the club, please just turn up for a run out – we don’t bite!

For more information contact Mike Woodhouse on 07793 844684.

This summer, the club is organising a sponsored three peaks challenge to help raise funds for the club.

For those that don’t know, the three peaks challenge is to climb the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scarfell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) inside of 24 hours. You can find more information about it here

Having done it before personally I can say it is not easy but definitely worth it, and you’ll be raising money to support us through the coming season.

To get involved, or for more information, contact Mike Woodhouse on 07793844684

Hope Valley RUFC are already looking forward to next season which will see them playing in the newly named University of Salford North West League 4 East. Following on from 2009/10s record breaking season, the club has reappointed Tom Hodgson as 1st XV Captain with Dave Warren remaining as Vice Captain.

The club has also appointed Nigel Winder as 2nd team captain with a view to running a regular social/vets side. Whilst the club wants to continue its progress up the leagues, we also want to keep on being a friendly local community rugby club and are looking forward to our 31st season.

Hope Valley are holding an extraordinary general meeting on Thursday 17th of June at The Peaks Inn, Castleton, starting at 7pm. Everyone interested in the club can attend. This will formulate our plans for next season, including pre season training and club development. Anyone interested in playing for the club is more than welcome , and can contact Club Captain Tom Hodgson on 07876 527049.
