Our warm thanks are due to the teams responsible for the recent fun and fundraising this past weekend.
Dave (hutch) Hutchinson for the endless walk in the park that was the annual Golf day - no idea who won but I'm told a great day and evening and early morning was had by all!
David and Deborah Payton for putting on and catering for a fantastic Ball; good food, great company and a very good band contributed to a superb evening - top effort by everybody.
Plenty more in the diary for the summer!
What?
How does that work then?
Read through this document.
It is really simple - you won't necessarily save money (although you might) but if you transfer your mobile contract to RugbyTel then fully 50% of the amount of money that you spend will go to the club funds.
Err, that's it.
Sign up please and let's get this ball rolling.
In the first instance please contact Tim Bostel on timbostel@googlemail.com and he'll put you in touch.
Catherine Spencer led England to two world cups and great success in the Six Nations.
She's coming down to park lane to add her encouragement to the ladies and particularly the girls section of the club.
If you would like to meet Catherine then please join us after the girls training session on Wednesday evening.
Many congratulations to all involved in the Surrey Mini Development Festival on Sunday.
The organisation of the event under the chairmanship of Jason Smith was exemplary. The tremendous efforts of his hard working team ensured a day to remember for all who attended. Thanks to all who volunteered together with those working behind the scenes.
A day of competitive rugby was much enjoyed by Mayor of Reigate and Banstead Councillor Roger Newstead, Deputy President of Surrey Rugby Keith Heal and 1500 children from 23 Surrey clubs. Their enjoyment was enhanced by the arrival of the Surrey Air Ambulance and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service.
A great day for the club. Many thanks to all concerned.
David Forsyth, Chair of the Executive Committee
All Reigatian's kindly note that the 1st Team pitch is being repaired and re-seeded after the battering that it has taken this season from the weather and the boot!
Please assist Peter Bakker and his team of groundsmen by staying right off the pitch through the summer so that we can give the grass every chance to recover.
Old Reigatian RFC are delighted to announce they have made some hugely exciting key appointments in their rugby development as a club. Matt Kemp moves into a newly created Director of Rugby Role looking at all coaching and rugby development throughout the club both Seniors and MAJ.
Incoming as Head/Player Coach of Senior Rugby is Jonny Hylton fresh from a professional rugby career that has taken him from playing Premiership and Championship rugby to winning the Dubai 7s with England.
Bob, Drew and some new faces are looking forward to meeting both past and new players to their camp. The cost per person is £140 which includes 5 days of coaching (9 am to 3 pm), awards, prizes, T-Shirt and more.
The camp is open to girls and boys from next season's (2013/14) Under 9s to Under 18s and for those who are currently playing and those new to the game.

The 4XV clinched promotion on Saturday with a 25-12 victory at home to Merton to complete a fine season, winning the Surrey Foundation league title.
Led by Pete Bakker, his men have taken on all comers this season and get to the finish line having lost only one of their league games.
Originally the brainchild of the late, great John Lister who worked tirelessly to increase the club's player base with Pete, no more poignant a tribute to his legacy could be have been envisaged.
Congratulations to Pete and all of his players on a superb effort with admirable levels of commitment, determination and dedication all season.
After the success of last Sunday's launch of Girls & Ladies rugby at Old Reigatians we will now be holding regular training sessions.
Ladies training will be held at the club every Sunday morning from 9.30 to 11.00 at the top end of the up-down pitch and the first of these sessions will be this coming Sunday, March 24th.
All girls / Ladies of 17 and upwards (no upper limit) will be very welcome to join the session. No prior experience is necessary so please come down on Sunday and join in - or just come along and watch and you will soon see how easy rugby is to learn and how much fun it can be.
For Girls of 11 to 16 training will be held at the club on Wednesday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.00pm and this starts on 24th April.
If you would like any more details on the Ladies or Girls sessions then please E-mail me on girlsrugby@oldreigatianrfc.com
The new club shop is now live for both Seniors and Juniors. You can click the links below,
or navigate to the club shop option under the relevant 'Senior' or 'Junior' tab through the website.
Nick Grant, the 1st XV's imperious no 10 and top points scorer last season spent this summer in Argentina working on a special project in Buenos Aries with a new rugby club, Floresta RFC and he wants our help.
Here's an idea from our resident first responder and bottom smacker - the ICE protocol - very simple; you make a contact entry on your mobile phone of 'ICE' so that when you're being carted off to hospital with your neck in a brace your mates or the first responder can get in touch with your next of kin to let them know.
As some of you will know Old Reigatian is in an extremely fortunate position to have the use of Fonthill (a 9 bedroom house in Reigate) at its disposal to house players who come to play for us throughout the season.
On Saturday 25th May at 11:00 please can you spare a few hours to come down to the house, I want to get 20 plus people involved taking on different jobs, and I suspect with all hands to the deck we can have it done within 3-4 hours. There will be tea, cake through the day (well volunteered Bowser) and a BBQ and beers at the end for all those involved.
