ANTWERP 2015

Antwerp threw up the opportunity of returning to a bygone age, touring by coach!

With an ample supply of bars & restaurants in the vicinity, The Leonardo Hotel was an ideal base for the weekend. Within spitting distance was Kelly’s Bar, which provided food, drink & revelries until the early hours.

A last minute change of plans saw us visiting RC Laakdal for a mini-tournament which also included Supermarine RFC from Swindon. A stroke of luck as it turned out as they laid on a superb day which, judging by the smiling faces, everyone really enjoyed.

In amongst all the fun was a period of reflection as we visited the Schoonselhof Commonwealth War Graves on Sunday morning. The significance of their sacrifice resonated with everyone present.

A final evening of fun in the, aptly named, T’Bolleke Bar, rounded off a thoroughly enjoyable weekend
