As we move towards the end of this uncertain year, one in which rugby has taken a back seat to other events, we are pleased to announce an opportunity to celebrate our founding father – no, not you Gerry – Bacchus, the God of wine.
We have partnered with a promotions company to offer our first LPRFC wine collection (well, two bottles).
These can bought either by the bottle or by the case (12 bottles) and a mixed case is available.
We are offering a 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2019 Unoaked Chardonnay.
The price is $16 per bottle ($20 with shipping) or $180 per case ($195 with shipping).
A small portion of the proceeds goes to the club.
*** Orders have now closed ***

We are pleased to partner, yet again, with local Crossfit gym CrossFit Defined.
We will be hosting pre-season training sessions at their Lakeview facility (3834 N. Broadway) from this Saturday, January 10th through March 7th. Start time is 1pm, so please be there earlier as that is when we start training. Bring clean shoes to work out in, especially if there is inclement weather.
These sessions are free to all club members and potential new players and are a great way to get into shape for the start of the Spring season, but also to get to know some of your teammates if you are new to the club.
We look forward to seeing a few new faces and most of the old ones.
