25 CLUB NEWSLETTER NO 5 2024-2025  

Please note that there is a separate 25 Club page on the Llandovery RFC web site with a drop down menu for newsletters. There is also a separate page for match reports.

 

  • FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

The postponement of the Llandovery v Pontypool game meant a second cancellation of the season for our competition.

The next round of  competition will be this Saturday December 14 when RGC  are the visitors to Church Bank.

 

  • BOOK

Copies of “Blwyddyn Bythgofiadwy- A Chronicle of an Unforgettable Year” will be on sale at the club shop and bar before and after the game against RGC.

The Llandovery RFC squad will be available to sign any copies.

 

  • HOSPITALITY

 

On a request from the Board of Directors to change the date of the next hospitality, there will be no pre-match function on December 21 (Llandovery v Carmarthen Quins).

 

In its place, will be hospitality before the Llandovery v Newport SRC game on January 4, 2025. More details nearer the date.

 

A further hospitality day will be announced in the New Year but likely to be a SRC Cup match.

 

The end of season Gala Dinner will take place sometime in May 2025, date not yet fixed.

 

  • DISCOUNT

On production of their membership card, 25 Club members can take advantage of a 10% discount when eating in at The West End Café.

 

  • TICKETS

Orders for two tickets for Six Nations internationals should be placed with Gina as soon as possible.
