Latest in a series of caches set next to local rugby grounds, where myself and dadu spend most of our Sunday mornings
This can be done as a cache and dash as it is close to the main road and there is ample parking close by the cache. You are looking for a silver bison tube hidden in the wooded area just inside the entrance to the club. Early in 1931, the Old Leamingtonians RFC was formed by a number of rugby playing Old Boys of Leamington College. The founders were Stanley Ackerman, a non-player but the inspiration and strength of the early days, and Freddie Judd whose name became synonymous with that of the club for many years. Stanley Ackerman became the first Secretary of the Club and Freddie Judd the first Treasurer. The first match played was against a Leamington 2nd XV on February 7th 1931 and was won, 16 points to 6. The team was called Old Collegians at this time but they became the Old Leamingtonians before the end of the first season. The teams played in their old school jerseys and until this day, the club still plays in blue and gold hooped shirts. Old Leamingtonians finished the 2012/13 Season as winners of Midland Division - Midlands 3 West (South), 13 points clear of their nearest rivals. Old Leamingtonians are now looking forward to a successful season in the next echelon of the game where undoubtedly they will be pitted against local rivals Leamington RFC.
