A celebration dinner for
125 years of Sussex Rugby

Sussex Rugby Union was formed on November 3rd 1883, by the three Clubs then existing – Brighton, Worthing and Hastings. There are now 35 Clubs with hundreds of teams of Men, Women, Boys and Girls from 7 upwards.

You are invited to celebrate this milestone at our Anniversary Dinner, on October 3rd 2008, at the Metropole Hilton Hotel, Brighton, at 7.30 for 8.00pm

For a very modest £39.50 a ticket, a first class menu (with Vegetarian option) is planned. It is intended to be a ‘Sussex Rugby occasion’ - not a fund-raising or ‘celebrity’ event, but a convivial evening – for past and present players, supporters and all who are, or have been involved in our game. Ladies welcome.
Dress: Black tie or Lounge Suit or Club Blazer
