Meet The Academy Evening - THIS WEDNESDAY


By Quinssa
November 16 2009

Wednesday 18 November 2009 at 6:30pm (doors open 6pm). Quinssa is delighted to announce an opportunity for members to meet the Academy players and management. On 18th November, we will be hosting an evening to remember at the Twickenham Stoop, with appearances from Tony Diprose, Howard Graham and the players from the Academy Squad:

Rob Buchanan; Ross Chisholm; Will Collier; Dan Frazier; Ollie Lindsay-Hague; George Lowe; Darryl Marfo; Joe Marler; Jono Ross; Sam Smith; Seb Stegmann; Joe Trayfoot; Luke Wallace; Chris York.

The players will be there between 6:30 and 8:30 and we’d like to thank them, in advance, for giving up one of their few free evenings to attend this event. Recognising that it is difficult for all members to get to the Stoop by 6:30, we’re hoping to split the evening into two sessions so everyone gets best value and will publish more details later.

There will be a Q&A session and an opportunity to meet the lads and quiz them about their thoughts for the coming months, their ambitions, their inspirations and, for some, their impressions about joining the world of professional rugby.

The event is open to Quinssa members (who get in free) and guests (for whom there is a nominal £3 charge to help pay for the costs of the event).

The event will be held in the members’ bar in the LV= stand and we will be opening at 6:30pm and the event will close at 9pm. There will be a fully licensed bar. We will be holding a raffle, as usual, with all proceeds going to the Quinssa Academy fund.

Please indicate your intention to attend as soon as possible to me, at this address. Also, if you can estimate your time of arrival, that would be helpful. john@quinssa.org.uk

It's your chance to come down to The Stoop to chat with the youngsters, many of them who starred up at Newcastle on Sunday.

We are going to see the new Alan Bennett play at the National tonight (booked before the Meeting the Academy Evening was announced) so sadly can't make it this time. Sorry to miss it!

Think I am too poorly to attend. Voice misplaced plus bad cough.

Trying to get fit enough for Saturday

Hope it goes well

An excellent evening.
Dippy is a superb speaker.
I'm sure the boys are getting younget and younger though!

£140 raised in the raffle.

Thanks to everyone who attended.

It's a pity it was billed as starting at 6.30, because I think a lot of people must have decided (like I did) that they couldn't have got there in time. It actually started at 7.00, just as I arrived.

It was a very interesting and entertaining event. Dippy's presentation was very good indeed, with a couple of really nice video's. And thanks to the academy guys for being there and being (mildly) embarrassed by their own promo video!
