Geocache Description:

This is the latest in a series of caches placed at local Midland Rugby Clubs by ourselves, the cache is placed close to the entry to the ground and there is parking close by, it is close to a busy road so children should be supervised.

During  July  1927 two important meetings  were held at the Mikardo Caf in Martineau Street by an ad hoc committee consisting of J. Dawson, E. Cuttriss, R.W.Roe and C.H.Coldrick. At this historic gathering, the Rugby Football Section of the Old Yardleians Club was formed.  R.W.Roe became the Secretary, C.H. Coldrick the Treasurer and D. Arnett Club Captain.  Subscriptions were fixed at five shillings per season.  The first match was played on the 1st of October 1927 against Old Dixonians Third fifteen.                                                                                                                                                                                                         Old Yardleians Rugby Club prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities and competitive teams throughout the age groups. They regularly field three senior teams and have a thriving minis and juniors section.  The Club are currently enjoying one of their better years and have finished top of Midland Division - Midlands 4 West (South) with 90pts, having lost only 2 league games all season.                                                                                                                                                                                                   TTH
