The season
2004/5 represents the clubs official 125th birthday, and the club is keen to
start early celebrations of this special event. So much so that plans are
already afoot to put in place some exciting events. It is anticipated that the
club will undertake a major rugby tour as part of the celebrations and a revisit
to the USA is a strong possibility. The club visited the east Coast of America
as part of its centenary activities and the established links with clubs such as
Boston, New York and Charles River “River Rats” mean that a warm welcome awaits
on and off the pitch.
 On the home rugby front
it is anticipated that a Kent XV will play the first XV at The Mote as will a
guest International XV. It is anticipated that the major firms in the town will
sponsor all these events to reflect the fact that rugby has been part of the
Maidstone and Kent community for a 125 years and that the club continues to
function as such.
Any one who
wishes to involve themselves in this project should contact the club via the web
site contact address. No help of any kind will be refused …….. at the centenary
activities we even made our own brand of pork sausages as we were sponsored by a
pig farmer who gave us a pig to fatten!
Rugby
memorabilia is now a growing leisure activity and the club intends to produce a
host of items such as an inscribed glass tankard bearing the club shield and new
motto,
A variety of
promotional gifts for young and old alike...JUST WATCH THIS SPACE FOR FURTHER
