We’d like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, the wonderful helpers who came from London, Eastbourne, and Cambridge to welcome people, coach newcomers, and play our beautiful game! … Looking forward to next year already!

We’re looking for Touch Rugby players near either location who would like to be a part of this Christian event, to help coach people who are new to Touch for the bulk of the afternoon. The evening would then be free for you to enjoy the rest of The Big Church Day Out’s line-up, which may include the likes of Hillsong United, Israel Houghton & New Breed, Switchfoot, TobyMac, Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Graham Kendrick, Lou Fellingham, and many more.

Please email Nick if you would like to help.

From 3pm until about 5pm, All Souls Eastbourne Sports ministry and friends will be offering coaching in mixed, social Touch Rugby at their usual venue in Gildredge Park.

All are welcome; no previous experience of any Rugby code is required (and, frankly, no particularly high level of fitness is required either!); and we hope to head over to our friends at the nearby tennis club afterwards for some light refreshments!

Please contact nick@touchbaseuk.org for more details.
