There is so much to look forward to as we enter September and the autumn months of 2022.
Firstly, the upcoming Armistice Youth Rugby Festival in Compiegne at the end of October (27th – 30th) An event based on the values of rugby bringing together youth teams across Europe. There are still some spaces available to enter the Girl’s 7’s at Under 16 & Under 18 age groups so do not hesitate to contact us.
Secondly, we are 1 year away from the Rugby World Cup next year here in France and we have several events planned for supporters from all countries along with our fixture exchange and rugby festivals for all ages and abilities.
This brings us onto our opening event that begins on September 4th 2023 in Amiens with a sponsored cycle ride across the WW1 Battlefields raising funds for SSAFA. Our newly formed Francourt Freewheelers team will lead the way. You can meet our Chairman Lee Cox on the new webpage. The “Big Battlefield Ride” will travel across the Somme, Oise, and Aisne Regions finishing in Laon on September 7th.
On September 8th to 10th 2023 we will host the Rugby World Cup Commemorations at the World Rugby Memorial which is open to rugby supporters from around the world. During the long weekend we will also be hosting a series of rugby games featuring military and charity teams and look forward to raising funds with our friends from Wooden Spoon and Folkclowns.
In November this year we look forward to attending World Travel Market at the ExCel in London along with our French Tourism partners and guests.
