ALL RUGBY FANS INVITED TO BILL MCLAREN TRIBUTE
Murrayfield Stadium is to host a tribute night to Bill McLaren, The Voice of Rugby, who died last month.

The gates will be open from 5pm, on Thursday 11 March, two nights before the Calcutta Cup match against England.

The event will start at 6.30pm, and all are welcome to attend. Free commemorative programmes will be available. The evening tribute, at Bill's "second home" will see the likes of Scotland's cap centurion Chris Paterson, Welsh wizard wing Gerald Davies, and other rugby greats and well-wishers attending from all over the world to celebrate and give thanks for the Hawick legend's genius.

The evening will see a large stage erected on the running track in front of the West Stand, with big screens showing pictures and specially-created match footage accompanied by some of Bill's most evocative commentary.

There will also be musical accompaniment from a Welsh male voice choir and Scottish Pipe Bands.

BBC presenter Dougie Donnelly will be the MC for the evening, and he will also welcome tributes from former British and Irish Lions captains Gavin Hastings (Scotland) and Bill Beaumont (England).

Update on Kit Order16-Feb-2010 11:13 

Forrester Replica & Leisure Kit Order

 Firstly I would like to thank you for your patience regarding this order and I appreciate that a lot of the order was for Christmas presents.

Our supplier was let down by the factory he placed the order with and is currently resourcing to establish another company who will offer him the same quality of kit as before to complete the order. This we are informed will be done by next week then the order will be resubmitted.

This will allow the people who have enquired as to when they can order additional kit to do so within the next 2 weeks.

If anyone needs their order adjusted i.e. sizes adjusted, names changed or order additional kit then you can email me on andy@forrester-rfc.co.uk or give me a call on 07774874045.

For any additional information regarding the kit again contact me using the contact methods above.
