Good news, the funds for the replacement club flag have been raised and it is now being made to order with the intention of it being presented to the club on the occasion of the "Players presentation Dinner" on the 29th, April this month. The appropriate funds having been raised from board members and club members who responded to the call and as a result we can now fly the club flag with pride.

It is the intension to obtain another flag with the club motto and emblem to be flown along side at Brickfields on matchdays to further promote Albion rugby to the wider public, to this end anybody who wishes to help out in this important cause may be able to assist in helping towards a further fund of £250 needed, towards a second flag.

So, a small donation of the price of a couple of pints will make all the difference in this important drive Please don't be shy and either hand your donation behind the bar tommorow in the supporters marquee or in person to either Keith Shepperd, Raph Barkham, Martin Musgrave (in the travell hut) Mike Newham or Tim Mitchell, all of whom will hand in the monies towards this second flag.

Many thanks in advance for your loyal support for "your" club, and I hope you all enjoy the end of term experience tommorow and look forward to sharing further achievements with and our beloved Albion next season.

Don't forget to book your tickets for the Royal Marines 350th. annisversary cellebrations during the summer will you, it's not to be missed.

The new Albion flag was presented to Graham Stirling on behalf of the club by Keith Shepperd yesterday evening at the players presentation dinner.

We have received enough to provide a start towards the second flag which will enable the club to fly the flags at both the main entrance as well as at the club house, to this end we are proposing to order a larger flag than already obtained for the clubhouse end as this new flag at approximately four by three feet looks a tad too small for the flag post when hoisted.

The cost of this second flag although probably six by four feet is only about forty pounds more at about £280, so this is our target and as before we are making opening a collection to buy this second flag, your help would be much appreciated in this attempt to show off the club in the best light on match days.

There will be a photo of the new flag on here in a few days time.

Semper Sersum.

Good news regarding the second Albion flag following todays luncheon, well done to all and thank you.



Hi All
For those who are not aware, Keith Shepperd, Ralph & the FAB (Friends At Brickfields) team have commissioned a new Club Flag (as well as working around the ground "Odd Jobbing It).
The flag was paid for from donations from supporters, it is intended to purchase another LARGER flag to fly the club colours at both ends of the Brickfields. For your info Keith raised another £146-05 at todays 200 Club Members & Supporters lunch, making a total of £221-05 towards the estimated cost of £280 for the new larger flag. All donations received are very much appreciated, a fine effort by the FAB team.

Semper Sersum.

Once we thanks to all of you who contributed to make it possible fr us to buy a new standard for Albion. Your response was fantastic so much so we have nearly enough left over to purchase a bigger flag so as we can raise the flag at each end of the ground. I am not asking those who did so well last time, but to any one out there who would be able to help us find the last few pounds to complete our aim. In fact we have gone ahead and ordered the new flag as we want to ensure
we are able to have them both on show at the start of the season.

How much more do we need?

The precise amount is £28.95. There may be a bit extra if the flag comes without a new rope.

If the flag does not have rope supplied we need about 16 mtrs, and that at a cost of £1.00 per mtr.

The second and larger club flag will be formally presented to the club at the supporters luncheon tomorrow, Wednesday 6th. August and then raised on the clubhouse patio flag pole at 1.00 p.m. prior to the first friendly against Lanson on Sunday 10th. August.

It is hoped that as many of the folk that donated towards this second flag (and the first) for that matter will be able to be present for a photo shot to mark the occasion. See you all there.

Semper Sersum.

Both club flags were flying for the opening game of the 2014/15 season a friendly against Lanson and were at full stretch in the strong winds on the day.

Once more a big thank you to all who supported the efforts in the fund raising for both flags.

Pirates are struggling to raise £1500 to sponsor a player! Well done the FAB team, 200 Club who have paid for the new club colours, sponsoring a local player & making a donation towards the new posts. Not sure how much but must be around £3k
