'Kit Aid' for South African Townships

The following is an extract from a letter from Luton RFC :

"On the 19th October 2007 our Under 16’s Youth Rugby team are going on Tour to South Africa!! They will be spending 10 days together, training, playing rugby, looking after themselves (without Mum and Dad) and learning about the culture of a completely different country. Importantly, the boys have also been collecting spare kit to take out to the South African Township teams, which is much needed. The Township Youth sides mostly do not play in boots as these cannot be afforded. Thanks to the generosity of British Airways, we now have the opportunity of taking an extra 32 kg luggage per person. We are therefore hoping to be able to take as much kit for SA as possible and are asking local clubs for any outgrown boots, shirts, socks and shorts, plus any spare protective gear…scrum hats etc. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP? We particularly want to collect boots sizes 6 to 14…. (Any condition as we will clean, replace studs and laces). Please can you have a look in the lost property box and ask parents for any thing out grown. "

If you are able to donate any kit for this project, please let Mike or Heather know as soon as possible so they can get it over to Luton before the lucky Luton lads set off.
