🏉The rugby may have been cancelled at the weekend, but that didn't stop our Wandies community dropping off donations for the Christmas Toy Appeal for Children In Poverty Inverclyde.🎁

It is great to see so many donations under the Wandies Tree. 🎄

A huge thanks to everyone who donated. 🙌

**Sunday 4th June**

End of season 2023

The plan for Sunday is a light, fun training session down at Battery Park from 1100-1200 and then the coaches will walk the kids up to Fort Matilda where we will have a Slip and Slide on the hill. Bring your swimming shorts, towel and a change of clothes.

The weather is forecast to be great all week and we wanted to go out on a high all together. This is the last official session of the season and we hope to see as many of you down at Fort Matilda as possible. The bar will be open and the sun shining all day! 😎 🍻

The Hike to Everest Base Camp for GWRFC Youth Rugby!

Four amazing women who support all sections of the club recently completed the extreme trek to Everest Base Camp.

Jillian Crighton, Debbie Crighton-Barnes, Outi Kylmälä and Jackie Graham completed a hike which is 5800m above sea level (which is FOUR times the height of Ben Nevis), experiencing temperatures of -18°.

They are reaching these new heights so the Youth Rugby of the club can itself reach new levels.

We are over half way to the goal but still need your help reaching it.

Please show your support for the team and for the youth sections by donating via Crowdfunder.

**Minis Fundraising Quiz Postponed**

The scheduled Minis Fundraising Quiz Night on Friday 31st March has been postponed. We will hopefully be able to reschedule another date soon.

Thank you to everyone who had planned to go and we will use some of the donations at the Minis Tournament at Fort Matilda on Sunday 23rd April.

Attention all!

We are excited to reveal our brand-new Mini’s team strips, proudly sponsored by McLaren Packaging and Walker . Thanks to their generous support, we are able to provide stylish and comfortable shirts for all our Mini’s teams.

But these shirts aren't just for show. We wanted to use them to draw attention to an important issue in sports: concussion awareness. That's why you'll notice a special message on the sleeve of our new strips: "If in doubt, Sit them out."

This message serves as a reminder of the critical importance of identifying and responding to suspected concussions in sports. At all levels and in all sports, it's vital that athletes suspected of having a concussion are immediately removed from play. No one should return to play on the same day with suspected concussion.

We want to emphasize this message to all members of our community, including our players, coaches, referees, parents, and guardians. By working together to prioritise safety, we can ensure that everyone has a fun and fulfilling experience in sports.

Thank you again to McLaren Packaging and Welsh Walker for their ongoing sponsorship and support. We can't wait to see our teams proudly wearing their new strips, and we hope that this message inspires all of us to prioritise the health and safety of our athletes.
