Wooden Spoon Charity - Vets Fest
Date: Saturday 28th September 2024
Time: 10am till late
Venue:Old Reigatian RFC
Vets Fest was created to bring the rugby family together and give something back for the positive experiences as rugby players and supporters of the game. It is a fantastic event and we would love you to get involved! With your help we aim to raise vital funds which will go directly towards supporting children with disabilities or facing disadvantage in your local communities.

The Cumbria mission to support this event has been a fantastic one, a squad which has changed many times but now represents clubs from all over the county and shows a lot of potential.

As the mission states, it’s not just the rugby but the fund raising that counts, currently thanks to our players family and friends, plus a social event at Cockermouth Rufc our total puts us in 3rd place. We hope our continued fund raising and rugby performance will see us progress this position.
