We hosted our inaugural Eng Ball on Monday at Ghillie Dhu. A great showing from the club, with more than 100 guests attending to celebrate a brilliant year. 🎉

A huge thank you to The Ghillie Dhu for great hospitality and delicious food, The Ceilidh Experience for the brilliant love music and of course, The Golf Tavern for showing up in force.

Awesome end to semester 2, more to come in the 7’s season so stay tuned.

🔴 Doddie Day, March 2022 ⚫️

On Sunday the 6th of March 2022, The Engineers RFC will be teaming up with Edinburgh University Medics RFC to raise awareness and fundraise for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

The Doddie Weir Foundation, led by one of rugby’s most recognisable personalities and talents, focusses on research into Motor Neurone Disease and support for those facing the disease.

Conscious Edinburgh invited us down to a mental health training course that ran over the weekend. Josh Gard went as our club representative and had a few things that he wanted to share.

There is a stigma surrounding mental health, in particular su***de, especially in sport. A lot of players try and ‘tough it out’ rather than reaching out for support. Together we can destigmatise su***de and allow it to be honestly talked about and only then can we help all those affected.

If anyone isn’t feeling great or just wants a chat don’t hesitate to reach out to Josh or any one of the committee members and we will do our best to help.

Other resources available include nightline and talking to your GP. Look out for your mates, check in on them and let them know that you are there to help.
