1st XV shirts have been sponsored this season by Travis Perkins. The shirts which are of the new age figure hugging variety were designed by Keswick player Bryan Mol and were presented by Travis Perkins' Keswick Branch Manager Ben Cave before the recent match against Whitehaven.

Club member, Ronnie Green, died on 8th September aged 87.  Ronnie was a keen sportsman and played rugby for the club although his career was cut short through injury.  He continued to support the club, however being Chairman, Selector and Committee Member for many years.  He was one of the leading figures in ensuring that the current clubhouse and stand were built. He was elected President of the Cumbria County Rugby Union and stared a tradition of an Annual dinner for all past County Presidents, which he usually hosted in Keswick.  A minute silence was held before the recent 1st XV home game against Whitehaven.  The club is a sadder place for his passing and on behalf of all involved, the committee send their condolences to his widow, Melles, and to other family members.

It is with regret that we heard of the death of Jack Stuart who was 2nd Team Captain in 1949-50.  On hearing from Betty Stuart, his widow, she advised how the club was 'close to their hearts' over the last 50 years and how she was the first lady Secretary of the newly formed social club at the time.  Our best wishes and condolences are sent to Betty

Alan Gray recently organised an event for Braithwaite School. Matches took place for three age groups and there was even a match between a 'staff' side and Year 6 leavers. The staff team included Keswick Girl Coaches and 2 builders press ganged whilst working on the school's new extention!  Held at the conclusion of the summer term coaching programme and attended by Parents, friends and Governors, it proved to be highly successful and enjoyable.
