This Week at Millwall - 18 October 2024

Good evening Millwallions,

Hope you're all doing well. Checking in with another report on how games went last week, as well as some house keeping pertaining to socials coming up, especially for our spooky halloween social. 

Results from Last Weeekend:

Millwall Men’s 1st XV played Canvey Island at home in a top of the table clash. The team won a nail biter 12-6, with Timeo Hourantier winning man of the match for slotting home all 4 of his kicks for goal. 

Millwall Llamas continued the streak, albeit riled up from the home support during our alumni day. They beat out Barking 29-10 with Harry O'Neill winning man of the match for some exceptional scrummaging. 

Millwall Venus had a bye that weekend. 

Upcoming Fixtures:

Millwall Men’s 1st XV head out to Witham for a much needed win as they look to secure a top three position in the league. 

Millwall Llamas take on Harlow ||| at home as they look to continue adding onto their oppositions losing streak. 

Millwall Venus play away at Bexley on Sunday, fielding the most Millwall players out of any playing section this weekend. 

September and October Updates

Clubhouse Refresh Continues - Our Clubhouse Officer Adrian has been busy ensuring our Club is a safe and welcoming space for all. Deep clean of the floors, kitchen and bar area. Check. New fire extinguishers and accessible first aid cupboard installed. Check. Regulatory inspections of the Gas Boiler and PAT tasting. Check. We are currently scoping some new suppliers for things like the Wi-Fi, live sports broadcasters and EPOS and will keep you updated. 

Volunteer Learning & Development - Much like the team on pitch, the team off it also need to train and our Youth Chair, Charlie has been integral in ensuring Millwall is organised and up to date on all of this. Volunteers have attended Youth DM & Bar Training and The Essex CB Safeguarding Conference. Coming up within the next few weeks, we have our new volunteers on the extremely important RFU DBS Safeguarding Course and the RFU First Aid Course. 

Volunteer Recruitment - Thank you to all who put their hands up following the call to volunteer went out. We have welcomed some new faces to the squad but still need more help, especially on match and training days. If you have any time to give, information on various volunteer roles we’d like to fill can be found here. 

Party Time! Excellent! - A big thank you to our Social Secretaries, Dale and Giorgio, for arranging a couple of lush Thirst Thursdays and the 90's Social. We are taking a TT break for October as we have an exciting Triple Header Halloween day on Sat 26 Oct but are back with a Thirst Thursday - Pub Quiz at The Clubhouse on Thu. 07 Nov. Look ahead for some more socials as they begin to receive confirmation, including potential movie nights for the youth, as well as the clubwide pub quiz and darts night. 

Thank you all for taking the time to read this weeks email,

Cheers,

Communications Officer
