Dear
Merry Christmas from Marist St Pats
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all club members. This is the second email newsletter from MSP and we're planning to email regularly during 2011. Please pass this on to friends and anyone interested in club rugby, and encourage them to
subscribe through our website. Thanks to Pat Martin for getting our new site up and running, and for putting together these newsletters.
Most of our coaches have been appointed, although there's still a few vacancies. Contact our coaching coordinator John Duignan if you can help out. Once you're back from your Christmas break, there'll be plenty happening at MSP - pre-season training, sevens tournaments, junior registrations and trial games - all before the club season kicks off late in March.
Enjoy your holidays, travel safely, and we look forward to seeing you in 2011.
Ruffy Mollo
Chairman
