So here we are – National One!
Its going to be an exciting action packed season as our senior men's 1st XV team travel the length and breadth of the country. Your support at home games will be more important than ever so please turn up and cheer them on.
If you fancy some excellent pre-game food and company, then all you need to know is right here…

I have taken over the lunch admin from Feargal Ward and would firstly like to thank him for all his hard work over the years. I know we are all very grateful to him for keeping our Saturday lunches running smoothly.

A few procedural matters before we launch into the good stuff:
• We have a new email address for lunches – lunches@tjrfc.co.uk
• We have a new catering company. More details to follow….
• The cost of lunch has increased this year to £37.50 inclusive of entry to the game (The current price has been fixed since 2022, and since then, we have endured a peak inflation of 11% with some food price increases of 20-25%. We also now have cover VAT).

As always, the sit down lunch will take place before each home game. The cost of the lunch includes a match programme and entry to the game.

If you would like to be booked in for all home games this season, please do let me know and I will reserve your places.

If you know in advance which individual lunches you would like to attend, please book early to avoid disappointment as we anticipate that they will be very popular following our promotion. It will be first come, first served.

All lunch bookings must be made via lunches@tjrfc.co.uk

Lunches are cashless and no card or cash payments can be accepted on the day.
All places for lunch must be booked in advance by the Sunday before the lunch. All bank transfers must be made by the Wednesday before the lunch. The bank details are as follows:
Name: TJ Supporters Club Limited
Sort code: 60-21-28
Account number: 55182410
Reference: Your surname/date of the lunch

Please advise by email, the names and dietary requirements of all attendees. And the sooner payment is made, the better for us. For whole table bookings, one payment is appreciated if possible.
