Tache Tastic!
We're trying to raise some cash for a local charity and the club under the guise of a sponsored moustache growing event for the whole of the month!
In the last few days we've seen some pretty impressive Mo's wandering around, all sorts of colours, shapes and levels of luxuriance. Some are magnificent, others...well...we'll leave that until the end of the month to decide!
This is all for a local charity, the 'Colne Valley Special Sailors', who are based at the Aquadrome. They have specially adapted boats to enable the disabled, from the blind to those
paralysed from the neck down to sail a boat single handed.
Please DO NOT park behind the clubhouse or on the row next to the clubhouse as these are reserved for gym members only. Please can you also not park on both sides of the driveway, just the left hand side as you drive in.
If the carpark is full, we have kindly been given permission to use the carpark at Scotsbridge Mill pub as long as you remove your car by around 12.30pm so we free up the carpark for their lunch time customers.
World Record Breakers!
At our Community Rugby Day, Chess Valley RFC unofficially broke the World Record for the Most Consecutive Passes of a rugby ball with 265 successful consecutive passes, beating the previous record by 3 passes!
The attempt included mini and junior players from 6 years old up to the first and second Chess Valley senior teams, brothers and sisters, parents, grandparents and even Sarrie the Camel from Saracens.
Chess Valley - Undefeated at Twickenham!
Our U7s/U8s Tag team took part in the London Double Header Festival on the 6th September and not only won their group and the prize of playing on the pitch at Twickenham, they were also matched against Beaconsfield, one of the biggest clubs in Bucks and with only a small squad, facing a three player disadvantage as we only brought 8 players whilst they had 11.
Not to be put off by minor things like that the players pulled out all the stops and the end result was a deserved 4:4 draw.

Website Redevelopment
