Members/VPs End of Season Ball

The Rugby Club’s Members End of Season Ball marked the spirited commencement of the club’s end-of-season celebrations. This event brought together a diverse cross-section of the club’s community, with tables filled by enthusiastic members from the Juniors and Minis sections, the seasoned VETS, and the long-standing, loyal supporters of the club. It was a testament to the inclusive spirit of Woodbridge Rugby, uniting generations and different facets of the club in a shared evening of jokes, shots and dancing!

Unlike some end-of-season gatherings, this particular ball was not focused on individual accolades or award ceremonies. Instead, the emphasis was purely on celebrating what has been widely regarded as a fantastic season for Woodbridge Rugby Club as a whole. It was an opportunity to reflect on the collective achievements, the shared experiences, and the strong sense of community that defines the club. The atmosphere was relaxed with appreciation for everyone’s contribution throughout the year.

The evening’s entertainment added a touch of magic and rhythm to the proceedings. Guests were treated to captivating magic performances, sparking wonder, curiosity and amusement throughout the room.

Adding to the evening’s atmosphere were the traditional fundraising elements that are always a hit at club events. The Heads and Tails game, a classic and much-loved staple of any rugby ball, provided plenty of lighthearted entertainment and a chance for everyone to get involved. Following this, the raffle drew significant interest and successfully raised a fantastic amount of money for the club’s ongoing endeavors. However, the fundraising highlight of the night came with a truly special auction item: a Juniors rugby shirt signed by the legendary Johnny Wilkinson himself. The bidding for this unique piece of memorabilia quickly escalated, becoming quite heated as members vied for the prized possession. Ultimately, the hammer finally fell at an extremely generous £500, with the winning bid coming from the ever-supportive Geoff. In an incredibly selfless gesture, Geoff then immediately donated the signed shirt back to the club, a testament to his unwavering generosity and commitment to Woodbridge Rugby.

As the evening progressed, the energy levels rose with the tunes expertly supplied by DJ Tel, ensuring a packed dance floor and a lively atmosphere. The music provided the perfect backdrop for members to mingle, catch up, and celebrate the successes of the season in an informal and enjoyable setting.

The Members End of Season Ball successfully set the tone for the club’s end-of-season celebrations, providing a wonderful opportunity for everyone connected with Woodbridge Rugby to come together, enjoy each other’s company, and raise a toast to a truly great season.
