Pirates Youth Rugby Scalextric Challenge

Saturday February 14th 2009
11:00 to 5:00

In the words of Murray Walker "…and they're off!"

Well not quite, but it's now only days to the Pirates Youth Rugby Scalextric Challenge, this Saturday February 14th. From 11:00 to 5:00 the Pirates are holding this fund raising initiative for youth rugby in the clubhouse.

Wendy Nicholas, Chair of Youth Rugby said "It's just gone crazy in our house! My husband has got his F1 McLaren out of the loft and is now muttering about 'oiling his diff' and 'hope the old trigger finger's still got it'.

We're hoping many of those Xbox, PS2, Nintendo and Wii addicts might get down to the club for a true test of racing skill against some of their, let's say, more mature opponents.

Competitors will pay a small entry fee to set a time over a given number of laps.

There are prizes in various age groups to cater for all abilities, or to prevent the younger members embarrassing the older members, perhaps!

Whirlwind Sports and Rugby Tackle have each donated gift vouchers to use on their merchandise and there will be refreshments and other activities for those waiting their turn."
