Warriors Rugby Supporters Club Season review 2010 – 2011

The Championship season was a good one for WRSC regarding events. There was a significant increase in attendance to events especially the coaches evenings.

The first event of the year was Meet the coaches, headed by Richard Hill ably supported by Bruce Douglas, Andy Goode and Tom Arscott, and old hands Kai Horstmann and Graham Kitchener. Richard Hill presented his strategy for the season and used the players to illustrate his points. The question and answer session after showed the support that Richard isn’t afraid of straight talking and in fact welcomes it.

The next every was a little disappointing on the attendance front but certainly not on the entertainment. Nigel Owens the Welsh international referee came to speak to us and showed his talent for stand up comedy. His talk had those in attendance rolling in the aisles, with its mixture of anecdotes and jokes.

January saw the annual Meet the Players event which always goes down well with both the support and the playing staff.

In April we had an excellent quiz hosted and compiled by the incomparable Rosemary and Lawrence Threadgold.

There was a second Meet the Coaches night where RH laid out the strategy for the Play offs and again answered the questions from the floor with his usual measured candour.

All in all a very good year of events and an exceptional from the fund raising side too. The Supporters club funds were more than doubled with the generosity of the support for raffles at events and on the away coaches. This enabled WRSC to donate £500 each to The Wooden Spoon, which was our designated charity, and the Worcester Warriors Academy which will help provide the supplements for the young players coming though the club. There was a donation of £50 to St. Richards Hospice in memory of Roger Davies.

A new season is almost upon us and the planning events for WRSC is well in hand, kicking off on Tuesday 30th August (7pm for prompt 7.30pm start) with an evening with Richard Hill supported by some of the playing squad, TBA, in the Upper Sixways. Richard Hill will set out the strategy for the Premiership Season. The tickets will be available from the WRSC desk at the Open Day, but if you can’t make that, then please email wrsc.committee@gmail.com to let us know you want to come and we will keep a ticket for you. If you turn up on the night, be advised that numbers are limited. So please make every effort to lets the committee know you are coming to avoid disappointment.

In November we also have lined up a top international referee to come to spend an evening with us after he returns from duties at the World Cup, so keep an eye on the WRSC page on the Warriors site for further details.

If you have an idea for an event please let a committee member know or email wrsc.committee@gmail.com we welcome all input from WRSC members, which are...

All season ticket holders, debenture holders and box holders. If you are not sure if your season long commitment to Worcester Warriors qualifies then contact wrsc.committee@gmail.com.
