Message from Trust Chairman – David Durbin Firstly, I would like to start by saying a massive THANK YOU to all our members and fans alike for supporting us through this year. Your contribution no matter how large or small, the merchandise you have supplied, your attendance at our monthly quiz, your purchase of the Match Day Dining Competition and fantasy league and your support with the market stalls and match day collection’s has not gone unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hope you will feel that you can continue to get behind us in the year ahead as we continue to raise funds to support the Club. With us all working together to improve our ratings on the IMG chart this will go along way to having a sustainable club and improve our chances at aiming for Super League. Our website continues to give you the opportunity to renew your membership’s, (which finishes next month), enter our Match Day Dining Competition and enter the Fantasy League for the season ahead. We will also be continuing with the monthly members draw that is so popular. Using the website is the easiest way to renew but can also be done in person any of our matches and events in the new year. A new addition to the website shortly will be two vouchers which would make ideal Christmas presents one for membership and one for the Dining competition. Finally, as we will have a new kit supplier for next season if you have any preloved merchandise that you feel you can donate please do not hesitate to contact me on 07790 852196 so we can arrange collection or we will happily accept it at any home game during next year. Again, thank you all very much

October Newsletter

Message from Trust Chairman – David Durbin Well it’s all over now for another season, one of being consistently inconsistent. A disappointing end after the high of Wembley and winning the 1985 Cup. Now we move on and look forward to another season following our Panthers under the tutelage of Liam who arrives with our full support. A big thank you must now go to Simon for all his hard work over all his time with us and he goes with our best wishes for his future career. Our next fundraising event is a craft fair at the Shay on Sunday 29th October where you will be able to purchase that much needed Christmas present from a variety of stalls and of course you first opportunity to renew your Trust membership for 2024. This remains at £15 for the year and as your monthly members draw prize’s continue to be worth more than you membership, what’s not to like?! As we move into a new season with a new kit supplier if you have any shirts or other memorabilia you would to donate to your Trust please do not hesitate to contact me on 07790 852196 and I will arrange collection. All funds raised of course going to the Squadbuilder account which will be much used as we add to the squad for the forthcoming season.

A message from our Chair - David Durbin

I hope you are all enjoying this World Cup as much as I am. So much rugby to watch almost on a daily basis. It’s heaven! We now of course getting to the business end and the matches will be more evenly matched. Good also to see the Ladies and the Wheelchair’s now entering the fray. Can England make it to the final, your guess is as good as mine! Closer to home, what a fantastic turnout to welcome our new Club Board. The evening was informative and in parts entertaining. There is clearly a lot of work to do for the Board and us ALL in getting behind the changes needed to move the Club onwards and upwards. The new signings are a good start and show that there will be no letting up in the attempt to get us right at the top of our league again next season. Thank you for renewing memberships and entering the match day dining competition on the evening and of course the auctions went very well too, more proceeds for the Club! These are of course along with the Fantasy League that is available on our website. Also there will be some one off winter jackets available at silly prices and if local, the delivery will be free! Next year of course is the big one, our 150th year and planning has already started for this so there will be plenty to enjoy and support. More details coming soon.


Panthers Wheelchair Team

We were recently proud to present the wheelchair team with a donation of £100 to go towards a new wheelchair for some up and coming recruits. Malcolm Kielty has said that the initial target was to raise £1500 but the current total stands at £6800!! What an incredible response and this will hopefully go some way to supporting this is amazing sport!
