Harwell Boys have long been renowned in rugby circles for their hospitality and good humour, both on and off the pitch. But life happens, knees wear out, careers take us around the world and we inevitably lose touch with team mates of years gone by.
However, as they say, you can take the boy out of Harwell but you can't take Harwell out of the Old Boy! So, on this site we encourage Harwell Old Boys to get back in touch with each other, arrange events (aka HOB-NOBs) and generally re-engage with Harwell RFC. You won't be surprised to find today's club just as welcoming, just as friendly and still re-cycling old jokes and tales of daring-do on the pitch.
So, dig out your photo album, scratch your head for what's-his-name's name and see if he's already on the HOBs In Touch page. If not, drop us a line via the Contact Us button and we'll add him to the list of HOBs we're trying to get in touch with. Better still, search your contacts list and phone book for some contact details and let us have those too.
