Military v Masons: Rugby for Nepal

Rugby for Nepal

Military v Masons

Charity Rugby Match

Supporting Nepal and our Gurkhas

The recent flooding in Nepal has caused widespread suffering and tragic loss of life. It is especially fitting that we support the communities affected, while recognising the longstanding and invaluable contribution made by Gurkha soldiers serving alongside British military personnel.

W.Bro. Kevin Taylor, a current reservist attached to 37 Signals, trains with several Gurkhas whom he describes as among the finest men and soldiers he has known. This charity match is an act of fidelity and solidarity with their families, friends and the wider communities affected at this time of great need.
