I do love our Clubhouse! I know I shouldn’t say this about my own venue…but really, the house is so much fun. It’s always good being back in the Clubhouse at the beginning of the year. Seeing our friends, new clients and our brilliant team of staff.  We arrive, set up, switch the heating on, get the food prepped, then the first guests arrive and the party starts. Brilliant!
Last Saturday for the England v Wales match, we were joined by old and new rugby boys. It was great to meet Jack Clifford who popped in when the doors opened. Old friend Mark Cueto arrived and then Mouritz Botha also joined us to chat to everyone and have photos taken. My co-host & old team mate Lee Mears was with us for much of the day and it’s always good seeing him.  He was with us in Rome last weekend and had only just recovered….    To give us a bit of Welsh balance, Alix Popham and family arrived to spend the day and explain why he believed Wales was the stronger side and definitely going to win. (You owe me a tenner Alix!)
 
After a brilliant match…well for England anyway… it was back to the Clubhouse to warm up with port, hot pies, cheeses and our open bar. Post-match we were joined by James Haskell and Rhys Priestland.  Great boys with great stories to share.
 
So to all the rugby boys who came to the Clubhouse, to our friends and clients, to England for winning – thanks for another great day!
