🔵⚫⚪ A Week On... Our Thank You 💙

It's been a week since our Mighty Blue, Black and White 100 Year Ball and what an incredible evening it was.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and helped make the night such a success. Seeing so many members, former players, supporters and friends of the club dressed to impress on the field of Valhalla made for a truly unforgettable occasion.

A huge thank you to our event sponsors St Austell Brewery, H***h and AD Housekeeping, and to everyone who donated raffle prizes. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, local businesses and Quins family, we raised over £2,300 for the MND Association, smashing our original target of £500.

Thank you to our guest speakers Pat Withers, Kevin Morgan, Ed Morrison OBE, Mark Phelps, Ivor Sobey and Wayne Barnes OBE, along with special guests Tony Swash, Steve Layshon and Will Mbanga.

A special thank you to Julie and the team at Confetti Catering, Jeremy and Ollie at JG Marquees, Daz Sims and Sharifa, plus everyone who attended the work weekends to help prepare Valhalla for this landmark event.

📸 Our full image gallery will be uploaded shortly thanks to Gareth Belcher, who captured so many fantastic memories from the evening.

Finally, thank you to our 100 Year Ball Committee - Lee Pearn, Jackie & Shaun Mason, Stacey Skuse, Kevin Morgan, Pat Withers, Jessica Noble, Louise Braithwaite and Kelly Britt. Months of hard work and planning went into making this event happen and it was a tremendous success.

Thank you for helping us celebrate 100 incredible years of Bristol Harlequins RFC. Here's to our 100th season!

🔵⚫⚪ Good luck, Dylan! 🔵⚫⚪

Everyone at Bristol Harlequins RFC would like to wish our speed king on (and off the pitch), Dylan Pearce, the very best of luck this weekend at Walter Stone in Hereford.

Dylan currently sits 1st in the Adult C Class Championship for Severn Valley, and we're proud to see one of our own excelling in another discipline while continuing to represent the Blue, Black & White.

Go and smash it this weekend, Dylan – we're all behind you! 💪🏆

🎉 TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! 🎉

Tonight we come together to celebrate an incredible milestone – 100 years of Bristol Harlequins RFC! 🔵⚫️⚪️

A chance to look back with pride at the generations of players, coaches, volunteers, committee members, parents and supporters who have helped shape our club since 1926. From victories and challenges, friendships and memories, every person who has pulled on the shirt, stood on the touchline, worked behind the scenes or cheered us on has played a part in our story.

But tonight is not just about celebrating our past. It's also about looking forward to the future and the next 100 years of Bristol Harlequins RFC. The foundations built by those before us will continue to inspire the generations still to come.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the club from 1926 until now. Players, parents, coaches, committee members, volunteers and supporters – you have all made this club what it is today!

And tonight in the bar our glasses raise - blue Black and white forever!!! 🍻

🔵⚫️⚪️ TOUCH RUGBY UPDATE 🔵⚫️⚪️

A quick reminder that there will be NO Touch Rugby this week as preparations are underway for our Centenary Ball this Saturday.

As we put the finishing touches in place for what promises to be a fantastic celebration of 100 years of Bristol Harlequins RFC, the club will be closed to everyone throughout the preparation period. This includes access to the clubhouse and surrounding facilities unless specifically authorised as part of the event setup team.

We appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation while our volunteers work hard behind the scenes to get everything ready for this landmark occasion.

Thank you to everyone helping make our Centenary celebrations special. We can't wait to celebrate with you all on Saturday! 🥂🎉
