Happy New Year to the Lucs family, wherever you are in the world! We hope the festive period was kind to you and yours and we are looking forward to 2019 with a healthy level of excitement and optimism as a club.
This week's newsletter is short and sharp with just the info of the weekend ahead to come, as we prepare for a massive day here tomorrow. It all starts early tomorrow, as doors open in the clubhouse at 11am for an 11.30am sit down to get through what will be a busy VP and Sponsors Lunch. Thomas Carroll have kindly supplied us with former British Lions speakers Brynmor Williams and Robert Jones, who will royally entertain the 250+ lunch guests, before our 1st XV go into battle against Newport. The visitors lie second in the league on 52 points whilst we sit two points adrift in fourth, so a win for us would elevate our lads at least a place in the league, whilst defeat would open up a big gap to the top two again, so a lot to play for! Elsewhere, our table topping 2nd XV make the reverse trip to Newport, whilst the 3rd XV now travel to Clee Hill. Sunday sees our minis and juniors all here training, before the RMS Colts take centre stage, hosting Stourbridge.
The usual newsletter editor is on sabbatical as of this afternoon, so Lucsline over the coming weeks will be short, informative and a little less tedious, but I will be sure to bore you all silly on my return.
Good luck to all of our sides this weekend - may 2019 be a black and white year!
Cheers
Smithy

And Finally
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The Englishman fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It's a candle', he said.
'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.
The Scotsman reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'
Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.
The Irishman started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'
The paddy replied, 'These are Carols.'
