Dear Members,

Preparations are underway for the Beckenham RFC Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on 29th June. Megan Pain, as our honourable secretary, will be coordinating and is preparing a variety of documents to be sent out. All will be placed in the AGM folder on the website.

For those members new to the club, nominations are required for specific volunteer posts within the club, many of which then make up the management and general committee (further details of the club rules and regulations are available on the website).

We hope to see you there!

For anyone who may want to sign up!

A few shots to enjoy from Saturday, because who wouldn’t want to do that again (well except for the heat maybe!). Great rugby, great spirit and a great club day.

Rugby was the winner yesterday, but for the purposes of the post both the men’s and ladies squads were the actual winners on the day. Well played all in some extreme conditions!

The Men’s 1XV claimed the George Crowther Cup with the winning conversion being taken by Rob Willden 🏆

What a fantastic club day!

Thank you to everyone who played, volunteered, worked the bar, ran the bbq, and supported. Thanks for making it such great day 👏

We’re proud to announce the Beckenham Barbarians Men’s and ladies squads, bringing together former Beckenham players from across the years for a special day of rugby, to remember Paul Skelly and to support a great cause, the charity O2E.

Old teammates reunited, rivalries renewed, and one reminder that rugby is always the real winner. 💙💛💚🖤

One club. One day. One cause.

Thank you to our team sponsors for the day

Today (21st May) marks 10 years since we sadly lost Paul Skelly, friend to many and ex Club Chairman. Skel’s loved this fixture and was team manager for the 2016 game, so it’s fitting that we play this weekend.

We are looking forward to this famous fixture, and to welcoming all of our ex blue and gold players from across the years to face our current men’s and ladies senior teams.

Previous fixtures were played in 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017 and 2022. Currently it’s 3-2 to the Baabaa’s. Teams will be playing for the George Crowther Cup.

⏰Ladies fixture 1pm
⏰Men’s Fixture 3pm

Teamsheets to follow Thursday and Friday 📝

See you at the club!
