ARFC Juniors Christmas Party 2006

2-TEN FM Kids Presentation!

...with special guests......

 
 

 
 

Aldermaston RFCs local radio station 2-TEN FM played Santa this Sunday (17th December) as they presented Aldermaston Rugby Club with some brand new youth rugby equipment at their annual Christmas Party. London Irish Mascot Digger was also on hand to help 2 TEN FM congratulate the club and award them with their brand new training gear.

 
  Aldermaston Rugby Club are just one of the recipients of the 2-TEN FM Kids general grants scheme. They have been awarded a grant of £428 to purchase some much-needed specialist equipment for their youth rugby team. The grant was used to purchase new junior size tackle bags and contact shields.  
 

 
 

Emma Saunders, Charity Manager for 2-TEN FM Kids, said: 'We have been fundraising hard throughout the year to enable us to support a number of children's groups across Berkshire and North Hampshire.  Aldermaston Rugby Club are just one of our lucky recipients and we are thrilled to be able to help them in this way ' we know this equipment is going to make a huge difference to the coaching of their youth team.'

 
 

 
 

Jason Burke, Aldermaston RFC Youth Section Chairman was thrilled with the grant and was delighted that The Black Thunders and Digger could both officially present the equipment to the club. He said 'Everyone here at the club would like to say a huge thank you to 2-TEN FM, its great to see business’s investing in the local community and in particular into junior sports. Having the new training equipment will help us enormously.  I'd also like to thank London Irish for letting Digger out for the morning!'

 
 

 
  With over 160 registered boys and girls enjoying rugby at Aldermaston RFC, we rely on the generosity of local companies to help fund kit purchases. Without the likes the likes of 2-TEN FM we would find it very difficult to purchase the necessary equipment. Its great to see companies investing in the local community, in particular into youth sports  
 

We also enjoy a very close relationship with our local premiership rugby side ' London Irish' which really means a lot to the club, and to all our kids. Straight after Christmas our U14s and U12's will both be enjoying a training session with London Irish, before watching the exiles take on the mighty Toulouse in the Heineken Cup. We are always looking for new recruits for Aldermastons RFC juniors, so if you fancy giving rugby a TRY, come up to the AWE Rec Soc on Sunday morning at 10.30am and give a go!! Boys and Girls most very welcome!!
