The London rugby lunch was a great outing organised in Richmond on Saturday 26th April, with OWs travelling in from across London and Southern England. A hearty lunch was had at the Shaftesbury followed by a fantastic game of rugby seeing Richmond Rugby Club lifting the trophy to re-enter the RFU Championship division of English Rugby.

A great time was had by all with the younger generations doing their bit by running to the bar throughout the day to get refreshments for the group. We were especially appreciative of Michael Head's attendance who left Wrekin in 1955 and travelled from Sussex to join us.
