The evening promises to be another great occasion giving players, committee, sponsors family and friends of the association a chance to join together in celebrating the achievements of the 2018 season.

This year the Dinner will take place at the Best Western Royal Beach Hotel on Southsea sea front a very popular venue in the city both for events and accommodation. As with previous events the awards will be presented throughout the evening including for the first time, and rightly so, the inaugural Woman of Steel award.

Also during the evening the latest Play The Ball Patrons prize draw will also take place. The Play The Ball initiative is a way of raising funds for the association to be used throughout the year for deserving causes within the association. All members of the scheme will be included in the draw whether present or not with the chance to win significant cash prizes as well as loads of Rugby League ‘stash’.

In between the awards the Hotel will serve a three-course meal, the evening menu is below.

Due to limited numbers the evening is only open to members and former members of the association as well as families and friends by individual invitation. We hope to have representatives from our valued sponsors to join us on the evening and meet the Association away from the pitch.

Much as we would like it to be such an event does not come free of charge however costs have been kept to a minimum and the cost per person represents great value for the evening as follows
Cost per head will be
£28:00 for non Play The Ball Patrons
And
£13:00 for Play The Ball Patrons
We are always looking for new members of the scheme and those who wish to do so can join Play the Ball and will be refunded £15.00 after completing 6 months of membership. For membership details contact Lt Cdr Mat Gee, RN on Mob: 07775 007 169 or e-Mail Mat.Gee587@mod.gov.uk
