Every Thursday evening at Whitemans Green there is O2 Touch rugby for juniors from 6-7pm and then Colts and Seniors from 7pm. Boys and girls, men and women of all ages are welcome, so go along to Heath, give touch rugby a go and join in the fun during this Rugby World Cup year.

On Saturday 20 June Heath is holding its Midsummer Ball in a marquee at the Club and on Sunday 21 June Heath’s Club Day with a live band and BBQ will celebrate the overall success of the Club, including its award as Sussex Rugby Club of the Year, and the success of its teams of all ages during a day of activities and fun. It is then all hands on deck as the Club works over the Natwest Rugby Task Force weekend 27-28 June to enhance and improve the Clubhouse facilities. All members are invited to help the Club make the most of available resources and get as much done as possible over the two days.

Not to miss out on England’s warm up programme, a contingent from Heath were invited by their sponsor Vines of Gatwick to attend the England v Barbarians match at Twickenham last week. England put on a powerful display and ran out healthy 73-12 winners on the day - Heath members enjoyed the opportunity to see some England hopefuls let their boots do the talking and will be watching Stuart Lancaster’s selection policy with interest.
