Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.

Following the very sad loss of Ben Tarasiuk last summer those of us that played rugby with him over the years as a team mate and opponent would like to invite you to a memorial match in August at Clifton RFC to celebrate his life and love of the sport.

The match will also be the 1st anniversary of the James Quinn memorial match that was held to celebrate James's life 3 years ago.

The match will be played between a Ben Tarasiuk/James Quinn Invitational XV and a Gurkha Welfare Trust/Clifton Invitational XV.

We will be raising money for two charities nominated by each family, Mind for the Tarasiuk Family , Simon Tarasiukand South West Children Hospice for Bex Quinn .

We will then also raise money for the Gurkha Welfare Trust's Nepal Earthquake Disaster Appeal. This will also very much be a family day out with activities for children over the course of the day.

Kick Off is 2pm with the gates opening at 12am.
