One of Kent's youngest and most ambitious clubs, starting out life in Kent in 1983.
Success and promotion had been a rapid occurrence for the club due to hard work put in by the players and back room staff, however in early 2009 Lordswood I withdrew from London South East 3 and joined Kent 2 in the following season.

Season 09/10 saw Lordswood unbeaten and six points clear at the top of the table, after a slow start the team gelled and showed flare that had been demonstrated in our London SE3 days, which was nice to see. The coming season in Kent 1 will be tough, have no doubt, but with dedication and focus we are more than a match for our new opposition.

Our club prides itself on its close family atmosphere that welcomes anyone to play, socialise, train and even help out at the club.

28.06.10

Gents, a quick update to see you through the summer months.
The preliminary fixtures are available and attached to this post, friendlies and cup fixtures will be available shortly and fixtures books should be ready for the start of the season supplied free as you pay your membership for next season.
Don’t forget to apply for your international tickets if you haven’t already done so, I will be drawing names if oversubscribed on August 1st so make sure you let me know in time, full details on the website. Please keep an eye on the website as we will be putting stuff on there as it becomes known.

If you owe money from last season and have not made arrangements with Nick to pay your debts please do so asap, you can spread payments over the summer to make it easier and remember ANYONE who has not sorted out their debts will not be eligible to play. With the first cup game possibly being pre-season it is important to get your self sorted out early, if in doubt speak to Nick.
Pre-season training has started with Lee on a Tuesday and Thursday, if you have not been attending the SAQ drills already please turn up at 7:30 for touch so your untrained efforts do not spoil it for those already into the drills. Full pre –season training starts in July.

The golf day is all booked and ready to go for 23rd July, again full details on the website. If you intend going and have not paid at least a deposit your place is not guaranteed. In previous years too many people have failed to show on the day and it costs me money personally so no deposit no play.

The AGM is on Wednesday August 4th at 7:30 pm in the lower bar, please make the effort to attend as this is your chance to vote on important decisions for next year. Voting for team captains and club positions will take place as far as possible on the night. If you would like to nominate anyone or yourself for any positions please let me know at least a week before so I can get things organised. The committee are all standing for re-election as far as I know but we welcome anyone else who fancies the job.

The proposed Christmas party on 18th December has been cancelled due to general lack of interest for parties and poor attendance at the last two, we will look to organise other social events suggestions welcome.
Have a good break and see you all soon.

28.06.10

The annual golf day is booked for 23rd July, this is at Cobtree Manor on Bluebell Hill. Format is bacon rolls and coffee on arrival at 8:00am with 9 holes of golf starting at 9:00 probably a limited club competition.
Lunch is between 11:00 and 13:00, you will need to buy this yourself. Starting at 13:00 is an 18 hole Texas scramble competition, this means all 4 players in your team hit their ball then you all play from the best one. It is a fun competition and you don't need to be Tiger Woods to enjoy yourself and anyone can win.

At 18:00 we have a two course meal followed by prize giving then head off to a pub for a social half or two. The price of £45 includes everything except lunch but you will need golf clubs and shoes, a collared shirt (preferably a Hawaiian shirt as we managed to have almost everyone in one last year) and trousers or tailored shorts, no jeans or tracksuits sorry.
Showers are available and a change of clothes including long trousers and a collared shirt will be needed for the evening meal again no jeans.

I will need a deposit of £20 to secure your place as I have to lay out a certain amount before the day.

This year we have decided to keep all the international tickets for ourselves due to the very low bounty being offered by the corporate entertainment companies.

 

Dates and prices for the Autumn internationals as follows:
  06th November - All Blacks.
  13th November - Australia.
  27th November - South Africa.

Tickets available for all games:
  14 @ £85
  4 @ £75
  3 @ £65
  2 @ £50.

These will be allocated as follows:
  All applications must be with me by August 1st, if there is more demand for tickets than available then priority will go to paid up club members. To apply you must be DEBT FREE, payment will be needed by August 31st or the tickets will be offered to a reserve list or returned to the RFU.
  If you are not worried which match you see please give me an order of preference.
  If you want to go with someone else let me know when you apply.
  Make sure only one of you applies for the same ticket, you have three months to organise yourself and four months to get the money together for the ticket.
