..... and so they'd just take it upon themselves to turn up ?

Exactly. I guess it being the public holiday weekend may have meant people were on holiday of course. Anyway it was a great night regardless.

Indeed 👍 the RFC regularly take players off the Wanderers when injuries crop up on permit. It’s a small rugby community down here and  I was genuinely surprised by the lack of support from the Scarlets/ rfc . At least the much criticised WRU Chairman Rob Butcher made a big  effort to come down from Bargoed! 🤨

Sounds a good evening that, really not sure why the regions don’t send some one to events like this it’s just good pr. 250 plus a good turn out in fairness. Wanderers always good at age group level when i was growing up. Anyone here play/played for them? “Once a wandrer etc”

Enjoyed a very good night on Friday at the Stradey Park Hotel celebrating 70 years of the Wanderers ( who are of course,a feeder club for the RFC). 

Over 250 attending with Rev Eldon as MC and Scott Quinnell as a very entertaining guest speaker. “Geography”  Rob Butcher was there but did not speak! Some great photos of the history of a great local club. 

Bit surprised that no one in active office from the RFC or indeed the Scarlets were present. 

An excellent night of celebration of local community rugby. Well done to the organisers.
