Monza rugby club have invited us to play over the weekend of March 14th-16th when we will be their guests for training and a friendly game. Monza club Chairman Gaetano Palmiotto (a fanatical member of the Azzuri) extended the invitation to our team, via one of the U17's parents family contact, He and his club will welcome our players and representatives warmly during a 6 nations weekend. Our game and training being arranged around televised fixtures to ensure that no matches are missed. At present a 26 strong group of players, coaches and "support" are booked on flghts from East Midlands to Bergamo (Milan)

Two (older) members of the club are visiting Monza in November to watch a couple of games and take in the Calvisano - Dax European Cup match as guests of Calvisano RFC- they will of course engage in serious research into the facilities and amenities whilst forging stronger links with the club and hopefully open the door to future exchanges.
