No.1, 29 November 2010
We hope you enjoy this email version of the Marist St Pat's newsletter, the Red Machine. It has been set up as part of a revamp of the club's website, and is one of many new features designed to keep members in touch with the club's activities.
The newsletter will be emailed monthly to members during the off-season, and fortnightly during the playing season. News about other big events will also be emailed from time to time. With our 40th Jubilee coming up in 2011, plus the Rugby World Cup, it's promising to be a huge year for the club.
Please send this Red Machine on to friends and others who are interested in Marist St Pats, and invite them to subscribe through the club's homepage.
We look forward to seeing you in 2011.
