[email protected]

Don’t forget your tickets for the Wildcats Christmas Party in two weeks’ time

Includes a disco, entertainment and supper

Everyone is welcome – brothers, sisters, friends & family!

Friday 18th December @ 7:30, , Dill Hall Lane

The clock is ticking and now Christmas is just 3 short weeks away, which means that you don’t have much time to get something from our range of merchandise (shown overleaf) for your friends and family.

Available directly from the club – all items are available for viewing during training.

Speak to a club official to arrange purchase.

Following the loss of our posts at Highams in the storms a couple of weeks ago, I am pleased to report that replacement posts have now been ordered and will be installed as soon as the weather and ground conditions allow.

We have also undertaken discussions with Borough Council regarding the possibility of them providing a second venue for Rugby League in Hyndburn. This would give us an alternative in the event that Highams is deemed to be unplayable.

If you have any club related news, or items that you think may be of interest to parents or players, please feel free to mail them to me using the address at the top of the page. Copies of all Newsletters are also posted on the website, where they are available for download.
