Proceeds from this campaign will be used to help fund the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Yearbook currently under development. (More on that topic shortly, in Newsletter #8). Please help celebrate Monmouth Rugby’s 50th Anniversary
by purchasing a brick for the walkway between the deck and the garage at the Wilde Rover.
Literally etch your name in the club history, or celebrate teammates or a memorable event.
4″ x 8″ and 8″ x 8″ bricks are available for $50 and $100, respectively. Order a personal copy of your inscribed brick(s) at a reduced rate!
