After much consideration we have decided to relocate our Witham Club to the Bramston Sports Centre Bridge Street, Witham, Essex, CM8 1BT.

This is only a matter of a couple of minutes drive from the Rugby Club (subject to getting caught at the lights!) and offers more space for the little ones to run around in.

RUGGERBUGS AT THE RUGBY EXPO 2011

andyP | November 30th, 2011 | Comments Off

On Thursday 24th November RUGGERBUGS was at the RUGBY Expo 2011 at Rugby Headquarters Twickenham.

They featured on the RHINO RUGBY Stand which was very popular due to RHINO winning  a Technical Innovation Award

Richie Gray, inventor of the revolutionary Rhino Collision King rucking machine won the coveted Technical Innovation Award at the Rugby Expo Awards Dinner at Twickenham.

Former England scrum half Peter Richards presented the award to a delighted Gray, who thanked all at Rhino for the support he had received since meeting Rhino CEO Reg Clark at Martin Johnson’s introduction in April this year.

Having commenced production in June, the machine was already in use by Wales, England, Scotland and Georgia at the Rugby World Cup and is also already being manufactured under licence in the US and New Zealand.

Pictured below is Andy Peasey Creator of RUGGERBUGS and the entire RHINO Rugby Team

RUGGERBUGS RUN FOR THEIR LIVES

andyP | July 31st, 2011 | Comments Off

Dear All

Firstly a huge thank you to all who participated in the 1k run last weekend, it has proved to be a great success, the full details will be posted in a few weeks once we have collected all of the monies in and have identified the winning RUGGERBUG. I wanted to post this message this evening to announce the fantastic amount of money we have all raised.

£3,500 in total a mega effort considering we were only targeting £900

I have this evening spoken to Michael McGrath the Chief Muscle Warrior, to say the least he is “blown away” by the generosity and hard work of everyone involved in collecting all of this money. It goes a long way to delivering a fantastic dream directly from RUGGERBUGS.

All I can say is that I am hugely proud of our RUGGERBUGS Team who organised the event at each centre and also extremely proud in the RUGGERBUGS for running the 1k and raising so much money.

For some more info on the day please goto : http://www.musclehelp.com/news/muslce-warrior-10k-results-2011

I cannot say thank you enough.
Have a great summer break and look forward to seeing you all in September

Clearly you have all caught the RUGGERBUG bug!

Thanks again.

Andy
