What an absolute HOOT we had!

9th April 2025 was our long awaited game of walking rugby which was a match hatched back in the Summer of 2024 – with much planning between trustees, members and the RN head coach Jenks.

We all set off with trepidation in the glorious sunshine to HMS Temeraire to be met by some wonderful RN ladies who took time out of their training for this fun afternoon allowing us to win 10 v 3 !  Our referee and member, Lorry Osman turned a very kind blind eye to our efforts to run in the right direction.  Not forgetting Brenda’s participation scoring a try with the ball safely nestled in her basket!

Members of the Wrens Association joined the Royal Navy’s Senior Women’s team during their training camp, for the forthcoming game against the RAF. The former Wrens were introduced too ‘Walking Rugby’ and took to it defeating the RN in a fun and laughter filled game. They then tried out other aspects of the game.
