The new season is approaching, the first full season for our club. Next week we welcome the freshers to the medical school and hope to draw from them a boost in player numbers, both for the fifteen a side squad and the touch rugby sessions.
The Fixtures Boy is working on a programme for the season that should see the first XV play a minimum of 8 matches, three of which at least are part of the National Association of Medical Schools (NAMS) Rugby tournament. Towards the end of the season, there will also be two major sevens tournaments, the Medics Sevens and the Royal Society of Medicine tournament, as well as the UEA Sevens in May. As with last season, the culmination of the season will be the RFU Beach Rugby tournament at Southwold in Suffolk. A report from this year's tournament, where the Norwich Medics made quite an impact, should be available online shortly.
Coincidentally, Fixtures boy is also charged with arranging social activities, so we expect to hear from him shortly regarding his proposals for an introductory function to enable club members and freshers to meet and get to know each other.
I would urge all members to check this site regularly for updates and information which will appear over the course of the season.
I hope that this first season will be interesting, successful but above all enjoyable for all members, player and social alike.
El Presidente.
