All
It is with great pleasure that I announce my first appearance on the hallowed turf of Twickenham.
I shall be playing for the Penguins Golden Oldies v The Lords and Commons Rugby Club as part of the 50th Anniversary of the Penguins, on Sunday 31st May.
The Penguins are an invitation team with the principal objective: “To foster- by coaching and playing the development, goodwill and camaraderie of Rugby Union worldwide”, to date they have visited 57 countries to do so.
A number of ex-internationals are expected to take part, together who two former HRFC stalwarts John Kerr and Gordon Dickson.
I shall be using the occasion to raise funds for the Penguins Coaching Charity and for our in-house Charity, The Millennium Project (which helps underprivileged children around the world).
If you wish to make a donation, please let me know, if you want to gift aid then please confirm and there will be tax advantages.
If you wish further interest then you may wish to sponsor me on the basis of “ball minutes” ie the product of the number of times that I touch the ball and the number of minutes I get on the field. (The maximum minutes are 40 since I do not qualify for the first period which is over 55).
A prize will go to the winner who is closest.
I will of course keep you posted, and rest assured ask my opponents about their expenses during the scrums.
Yours in Rugby
Keith Wallace

Nice to be talked about!
Have had a IT glitch stopping me brag.
7 carries, 6 tackles, one winged MP, one Try. (One of very few this decade) Decent sum raised for Charity. Fabulous Day Out. Photos to follow
Will tell all if you have a spare afternoon.
As for talented gits, my neck is still recovery from tracking Arwel Thomas' kick-offs: a work of art. Tony Neary is still a formidable tackler at 60+; and hopefully I will still be playing when the Penguins are 75.
