Friday night training

Training will be held on Friday 2nd November at Sherborne RFC - DT9 5NS. Please be there at 6.45 to start training at 7pm. We will finish at 9pm.

Remember to wrap up warm and to register with Ginny before you train.

Some people couldn't find the club last time as the postcode isn't that accurate. As you drive out of Sherborne on the A352 to Dorchester look for the floodlights on your left. It is called the Terraces Playing Fields and we will be on the pitch to the right of the car park. The bar will be closed but we hope to be able to offer refreshments at the shed on pitchside.
