Last Tuesday evening in the Clubhouse we said goodbye to Brad and presented him with an engraved blue glass rugby ball memento.

When asked about his best memories of his time at the Rec, Brad told us: "My overall highlight was the brand of attacking rugby that the team always tried to play".

When it was announced in early February that Brad Davis was to leave Bath Rugby to progress his coaching career elsewhere, the Club promised that we, the supporters, would have an opportunity to say 'goodbye' properly.  That opportunity has now been arranged by BRSC, with the Club making the Clubhouse available to accommodate as many supporters as possible for the Supporters' Club to make a presentation to Brad and for everyone to recognise and show their appreciation of his efforts over 6 1/2 years.

Place - The Rec Clubhouse; time - 7.00 for 7.30pm.

All Bath supporters are most welcome to come along and say farewell to Brad in person. Admission is free, of course, but please let Tom Sutton know that you plan to attend via administration@allez-bath.co.uk  so that we can assess the requirements for bar staff.

Please pass this on to anyone you think might like to attend.

At half-time on Friday at the Gloucester match the BRSC Committee will present Lee Mears with his Long Service Award in the form of a Bath Aqua Glass blue rugby ball inscribed with the Supporters’ Club logo and the words:

“Lee Mears  1997– 2013  Thanks for the memories ‘Mearsy’”.

We hope that those of you at the game will spare a moment or two to recognise and applaud his achievements during a long and successful career.

His presentation award will be on display before kick-off on the BRSC desk in front of the Clubhouse.

Sponsorship in aid of Dorothy House and Bath Rugby Foundation

BRSC Deputy Chairman Andy Thatcher is looking for Supporters' Club members to join him on the Bath Men's Walk on Saturday 23 February: "hopefully some plodders, not gazelles"

The Bath Men’s Walk is a brand new event for blokes only. This event has been created by popular demand, particularly from husbands and boyfriends who have seen their other halves take part in the annual Dorothy House Midnight Walk. After completing the walk, you will enjoy a pie, a pint and the Six Nations clash between England and France on the big screen scheduled for 5pm kick off.

All entrants will be expected to raise sponsorship money or make a personal donation (suggested minimum £50 / under 18s £25).

See www.bathmenswalk.co.uk for details and contact Andy on 07950 842365.
