Rob Shotten (Loosehedz - co founder)will be arriving at Old Aleynians RFC this Thursday 24th September at around Midday with 4 or 5 others. David Flatman is apparently joining the group for this too given his association with OAs. They will be there for 40 mins total.
Looseheadz is a fantastic rugby charity and we'd love you all to help show you support.

'This October, we're launching the LooseHeadz Club Challenge - the first time we've ever brought grassroots clubs together like this for a major fundraising challenge.
We will be getting community clubs across the country going head-to-head in a month of fundraising, with Meg Jones and Ugo Monye leading the charge and acting as the faces of the campaign.
The ask is simple: help us to help you.
Every pound your club raises for LooseHeadz during the month of October goes straight back into supporting your club and clubs like yours - because one in four people will experience a mental health problem, and every 44 seconds around the world, someone, somewhere, dies by suicide.
That's exactly why LooseHeadz exists: so nobody in rugby ever has to tackle mental health alone.
What your fundraising will help us deliver:
• Free mental health resources for clubs
• More trained Mental Health Champions on the ground in rugby clubs
• In person workshops and ongoing support for players, coaches and communities
• A stronger mental health infrastructure at LooseHeadz and across grassroots rugby, all year round
Like the sound of this and fancy joining up?
What we need from you: Get your club involved in October and set your own fundraising target - it can be anything from a bake sale, a boot camp, a sponsored match, a sponsored walk, a quiz night, whatever works for your club.
Why it's worth it:
• Every club that takes part will be tracked on our live leaderboard - think Top Gear-style rankings, bringing a bit of friendly competition to the cause. It will be shared each week across our digital and social platforms.
• Spot prizes are available for the biggest amount raised, plus other unique prizes throughout the month for most creative fundraisers
• Bragging rights as one of the founding clubs of what we hope becomes a permanent fixture in the rugby calendar
This is year one. We want it to be huge, and we want your club to be part of building it from the very start.
If you fancy it, I can send some details across, and all you need to do at this stage is hit the link to ‘pledge your support’, give us a few details, and we will set your page up for you, ready for October.
Let's tackle October together, and support our mission to change and save lives in rugby.
