Rugby
players from Premiership side Harlequins visited the Social
Club here in East Garston on Saturday the 11th of November.
Why were they here? Well, earlier in the year East Garston Social
Club members beat over 100 London and the home counties pubs
and clubs to win the, 2006 Greene-King Whoop at
the Stoop Competition. Twelve members, six of
them wearing EGSC handmade rugby shirts went to the Twickenham
Stoop to watch Harlequins Rugby League play the famous Wigan
on Sunday 10th September in a must win game. To their amazement
they were chosen by the 5700 fans watching as the best dressed
and were invited onto the pitch at half time As part of the
competition they are having one of their handmade rugby shirts
signed by all of the Harlequins Rugby League team. |
All
six members won a Harlequins replica shirt and were
asked to kick a conversion. But only Alan Money - chairman
of East Garston Village Hall and Social Club, managed
to score two conversions. |

Chad Randall, Matt Gafa and Daniel Heckenberg mixed and mingled
with 40 odd club members, playing games of Pool and Darts with
not only the adult members but with the younger residents of
the village. |
| Big
smiles all round as the evening developed into a really friendly,
thoroughly enjoyable event. |

the evening, Chairman Alan Money was presented
with the signed match ball from the Harlequins vs Wigan match
played at the Stoop. |
