As ever, the club will be open this Saturday evening; Members & guests are welcome to come up from 6:30pm to watch the Champions League Final between Borussia Dortmund & Bayern Munich (Kick-off at 7:45pm).
Following the football, the IBF Super-Middleweight World Title fight between Carl Froch & Mikkel Kessler will also be shown, with OUABC & Vincent’s stalwarts Mikey Davis & Ben Morris on hand to provide their unique insights.
We look forward to seeing you for a top night of sport.
There are quite a number of members’ cards behind the bar. If you are (relatively) recently a new member, please ask to collect yours next time you are up at the club.
The Kew Occasionals are looking for Vincent’s men to bolster their side this Saturday. KORFC are one of the oldest Rugby clubs in the country and a natural progression for many from Oxford and Cambridge.
Grove RFC are holding an all day 40th Anniversary Rugby festival which the Kew Occasionals are proud to be a part of. If you are interested in playing (travel expenses will be covered) please do email Reg Clark (regclark@rhinorugby.com). It promises to be a great day out for all involved.
Tickets have now gone on sale for our 150th Anniversary Members’ Dinner.
This is our only chance to sit down with each other as a generation of Vincent’s members and reflect on the club in its 150th year. The club is its membership and the bonds we’ve forged, please do make every effort to attend this (heavily subsidised) celebratory meal.
