the essential
A warm party, which took place in Golfech, for young rugby players with gifts, games and a festive meal.
The Avenir Valencian rugby school organized its Christmas tree in the Calypso room in Golfech, kindly made available by the town hall, on Saturday from 5 p.m. Usually, the party begins in the afternoon, but with the bad weather prevailing, the leaders preferred to cancel this sporting event and head towards Golfech. All the children, from the youngest to the oldest, were invited to a snack prepared by volunteers, managers and parents, culminating in a visit from Santa Claus to distribute gifts. Everything was carefully organized to delight these young people, impatient and excited at the idea of meeting the emblematic character in the big purple coat. Cakes, fruit juices, sweets, chocolates, but also two inflatable castles, were taken by storm as soon as the doors opened.
170 boys and girls
The Valencian Future rugby school brings together 170 boys and girls and is associated with the Lauzerte club. Almost all of the members were present with their parents; only those of Lauzerte were missing, which the Valencian leaders regretted.
This Christmas celebration is of great importance for these young rugby players in the making. Kévin Lecareux, the director, wanted to underline the good health of the rugby school: “A party like this afternoon means a lot to us, because it allows us to thank all those who keep this rugby school alive: the children , the leaders, but also and especially the parents During the year, we do not often have the opportunity to meet together. We do it during events like this evening or the Jean Baylet challenge. right or left, in tournaments with different categories As a reminder, we have 170 children and work with young people from Brulhois and Lauzerte.
