Ventnor Rugby Football Club have asked if the IWFRS are interested in playing a friendly game of rugby against them on 27 December 2010.
To this end I am making my annual request for all players, old, new or potential, who would like to represent IWFRS at rugby to let me know so I can organise a team for this match and maybe organise a few away fixtures, like the one to Torquay a number of years ago.
We have a lot of new members to the service since the Rugby section was active so don’t be shy, lets get a sociable side re-established. There is a place for all shapes, sizes and abilities on the rugby pitch!
If you are interested contact me:

The inaugural 999 Commando Challenge takes place on Saturday 25 September 2010.
This is a very demanding 30 mile, (48k) ultra multi terrain challenge, including open moorland and exposed sections. This is designed as a team event and for safety reasons to be organised into teams/syndicates of four or more. The routes will be over footpaths, bridleways and quiet country roads over Dartmoor National Park, from Okehampton Camp to Moorlands Bridge. The walks take you through areas not always open to the general public.
Participants are to arrive at Okehampton Camp, EX20 1QP on the evening of 24 September 2010 for registration, kit scrutiny and allocation to syndicates. A final safety briefing will take place at 1945hrs followed by a BBQ.
