Attention Wake Rugby Alumni

Wake Rugby Alumni-

The team is in the process of creating its own database of Wake Rugby Alumni email addresses and home addresses so as to eliminate the Alumni Office as a middleman in sending update letters and other mailings. The Alumni Office is extremely protective of email addresses and home addresses (which I guess is a good thing) so attempting to send anything to you is an enormous hassle, and, as we recently learned, in some cases impossible. Therefore, if you are a Wake Rugby Alum and would like us to add you to our database so as to keep getting updates from the team, please forward the following information to Wake Rugby Alumni Coordinator Critter Commins at commcj5@wfu.edu:

Name
Email Address
Mailing Address
Years Played

You can be assured that the team will use this information only for the purpose of keeping you informed of the goings-on of the team and to perhaps periodically send a small token of our appreciation for your continued support. For those of you who remain in contact with former teammates, please spread the word that we are collecting this information. Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.

Three Teams Confirmed for Inaugural Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase

Unionville High School (Unionville, PA), East Mecklenburg High School (Charlotte, NC), and the Derwood Stags (from Magruder High School in Rockville, MD) have all confirmed their participation in the inaugural Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase. The event will take place the weekend of March 1-2, 2008 at Wake Forest University. We are hoping that the 4th team will be St. John's Prep from Boston, MA, the alma mater of current Wake players Matt Storck and Christian Jewett. However, administrative issues are holding up their confirmation.

The purpose of this event is to give some northern-based high school teams the opportunity to play some preseason rugby away from the snow, while also showcasing Wake Forest University and its rugby program to interested high school students.

The Wake Forest men's rugby team will play an exhibition match on March 1 against an opponent to be determined.
