Quinssa Meet the Playing Squad - Tuesday 18th August at 6:30
By Quinssa July 22 2009
Quinssa is delighted to announce a “Meet the Playing Squad” evening on Tuesday 18th August 2009 at the Twickenham Stoop. Yes, you read that correctly – it’s the Squad!
The club has kindly agreed that the entire Quins Squad (subject to injuries and illness) will be there and members of the coaching staff along with John Kingston and Collin Osborne.
We will have already seen some of the players in action against Connacht and at the Middlesex 7s as well as in South Africa and in the Churchill Cup.
So this is a really great chance to talk to the players who have joined Quins this year and those who have been promoted from the Academy - as well as those “old favourites” who we know from past seasons.
The evening will be in the form of an informal Q&A session and we have allowed plenty of time for you put your questions and to hear the players’ views.
The evening will open at 6:30 and the bar will close at 10pm.
This event is being held during the pre-season period (necessary in order that players’ concentration is not sidetracked during the normal season) and we expect it to be very popular. In order for us to determine the logistics (which room to use, how many bar staff are needed, seating, etc.) we ask that you email john@hartleywalford.com to let us know whether you are planning to attend – and how many!
As always, entry is free to Quinssa members and you may bring guests as well (non-members entry is a mere £3).
There will be the usual raffle with all proceeds going to the Quinssa Academy Fund.
Wednesday 12th August is the deadline for letting us know how many will be in your party but early responses would be even more helpful.

Such a shame it is so early in the day. Even if I gave myself an early finish it's a long way from North London that time of night. Hence Fridays game is a no no.
The club wishes it to be known that we will not be answering any questions at this evening's friendly match against Connacht regarding the ongoing ERC disciplinary process; it would be completely inappropriate at this stage.
So it looks like they might not be answering stuff on Tuesday either
I think that's fair enough. Certainly unfair to put the pressure on the squad regarding what they can and can't say about the whole shooting match. If there's any communication it should come from ME or designated mouthpiece.
I'm really pleased they have said this and I hope it's publicised to those who don't post here / the offy. I just hope that people stick to it & don't get offended if they don't get the answers that they want.
Let's concentrate on seeing the boys model the new jersey & playing a game of rugby, after all, that's all they want to do.
Is it possible to turn up on the door? Hoping to be able to attend depending on other commitments. Also is it possible to become a Quinssa member on the night (before paying entry fee)?
With about 200 people coming it would be quickest if you could have your form filled out and a crisp £5 note (or £10 if you want to join for two years)

The first 20 mins was Evs answering questions about bloodgate.
It was a well attended up beat evening.
I Tweeted some of the info
there will be a report
A big thanks to Mark for turning up unplanned and fronting up. Also much appreciated that the evening wasn't allowed to be totally hijaked by bloodgate - Despite the tv vans and reporters in the car park when I arrived.
A few days ago I was concerned that this event may be cancelled give all the hype and controversy surounding the club. Thanks to quinsaa, the club and the players for sticking with it.
I really do hope we can now draw a line under all thats gone before. The players I spoke to last night seamed as positive as ever.
Heres to the team moving forward from last season.
