Charity car wash

Biggleswade Rugby Club will be holding a charity car wash as part of the fundraiser in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday, September 11.

Members of the club – male and female – will be dressed in bikinis for the car wash, and all funds raised will go to the charity.

Club member Paula Rastrick, who is taking part in the day, said: “There are people at the club who have friends and relatives who have been affected by cancer, and breast cancer is obviously one of the more common kinds.

“It is something that men have been known to be diagnosed with as well as women so we thought it would be a good idea for both genders to take part.”

Organiser Mark Peace, who has organised a charity match on the day, first came up with the idea for the fundraiser following a kit clash.

The charity match will see a senior team play against a side made up largely of the fathers of youth players who normally play touch rugby but will play the regular game on this occasion.

During the game volunteers will going round with collection buckets, and the club will also be showing games from the Rugby World Cup from around 7am.

The charity car wash will start at 9.30am and the game will be at 1pm.
