Steam Working Weekend & Deeside RFC Car Boot Sale
After competing with 2 jumble sales and the Balmoral races on Saturday, brighter weather on the Sunday saw a busy day at the Milton of Crathes where Deeside RFC raised over £1000 through car-booters and generous donations on the gate. A fine display by the Deeside Steam and Vintage Club’s engines, large and small, gratefully sponsored by Deeside Coal, meant the new road through the field will much improve this year’s Rally. The club would like to thank all those who so kindly gave up their time over both days to make such a successful event. 26/04/10
Captain v Presidents Match
On Saturday the annual end of season Deeside Rugby Club Captains v Presidents match was played on The Green in Aboyne for the Nigel Wilkinson Trophy. The match was played in good spirit with a number of (semi) retired and past players turning out to play alongside the current squad. This year saw the 33rd playing of the match which was won in the end by the Captains team. The score was close for three-quarters of the game but the Presidents team ran out of steam in the final quarter. Afterwards Pat Wilkinson presented the trophy to Louis Middleton.
The club’s Annual General Meeting was then held in The Douglas Arms Hotel in Banchory The club is considering future development with new pitches and associated playing facilities at Woodend, Banchory.
