Quiz Night - Thurs 23rd September,
7.30pm
The Supporters Club and Youth Section are running a quiz
night to raise money for the Youth Section. Our quiz master is the Chris Bell,
the reigning BBC Sports Mastermind Champion, but he has promised that the
questions won't all be Mastermind standard!
This is the first social event of the year and we are
hoping that the 1st XV players, amateur sections and supporters will
all enter teams. Entry is just £15 per team (maximum 6 players), the bar will
be open and hot food will be available for purchase and a discounted price. Buy
tickets from the online shop or contact 07967 205364.
Please put together a team and support this event.
"125 for 125"
As London Welsh starts its 125th season it is
a great opportunity to look forward and come up with positive ideas for the
future. With this in mind London Welsh member Pete Owen suggested that we
should launch "125 for 125" where we collect at least 125 positive ideas to
pass on to the London Welsh management.
All ideas are welcome and don't have to be restricted to the 1st XV.
Although we can't guarantee that every suggestion will be adopted we do promise
that they will all be considered as this has the backing of the rugby club.
Pete has drawn up the first 10 ideas:
1 Try half-back scheme. Give half of proceeds to those
that sell tickets - schools, newsagents
2 Move score board back to previous spot
3 Produce checklist of match day activities with who is responsible
4 Give list of patrons ( and pen) at all entrances to give programmes out and
cross off list
5 Put advertisement in all London student rag mags Are you Welsh and in London,
then come and support the only Welsh rugby team in London"
6 Arrange with a brewer that 100 pints given free per week to students
7 Charge students £20 per year to be members
8 Go into local schools to give free tickets to one class at a time to come an
watch us, parents get in free too
9 Change vegetarian menu regularly
10 Put what the menu is on the website in the week before the game.
It is now time for
you to add yours. They can be emailed to us at lwsc_email@yahoo.co.uk or posted on
the message
board on the unofficial website.

Name the year!
Many years ago Carmarthen Quins RFC were presented with a London Welsh shirt. They have now run out of room to display it and have sent it 'back home' to the custody of the Supporters Club. Unfortunately they don't know who presented it or even when!
We need your help to solve this mystery. The photos of the shirt are below and, due to the badge design, we believe that it is from before our centenary season.
Suggestions please to lwsc_email@yahoo.co.uk, leave a message on our guestbook, or post on the Dragons' Den forum.

Forums and Chat Pages
The London Welsh Supporters site is still extremely new and we have been debating amongst ourselves whether we should have a chat page or a forum. If so, we would probably have an open area for everyone and a restricted area for SC members only.
What we would really like would be for you to tell us what you think about the idea. Should we have a forum or not?
Please join Dave the Occie and leave us a comment about it on our guestbook.
