 New Year's Day Dip
On New Year's day, the South Sussex Barbarians, went into the sea off Shoreham
Beach to raise money for equipment. Though low numbers took part due to holidays and illness, each of the three age groups
(U12s, U15s & U18s) were represented. The girls who braved the icy waters were: U12s - Sammy Clegg, U15s - Ellie Ambridge, Lauren
Burstow, Heather Clegg, Harriet Dunn, Faye Kirby & Caitlin Ward U18s
- Molly Byrne, Charlotte Fenn & Amy Grantham They were 'eagerly' joined by coaches; Darren Burstow & Mike Clegg and manager
Claire Byrne. Afterwards everyone defrosted with the help of homemade soup and hot chocolate. The Barbarians would like
to thank friends, family and passers-by who supported and encouraged them from dry land.
(The amount raised - to be announced)
Welcome!
The South Sussex Barbarians would
like to give a warm welcome to:
U12: Ellie Catherall
U15: Caitlin Ward
We're glad
to have you both with us.
Children in Need: The Revenge of the Players!
On
Thursday 19th, the girls were sponsored to wear their pyjamas to training....a strange sight at Brighton RFC.... but not as
strange as seeing the coaches in tutus and tiaras!
At the end of training the girls enjoyed paying to wreak their revenge
on the coaches by pelting them with sponges soaked in, I suspect, iced water!
Thank you to all those who took part and
especially to Amy Grantham who not only came up with the idea but also organised the evening.
For more photos see the
South Sussex Barbarians' Facebook here
We raised 336.16!!!!
.....and more!
A very warm welcome
to:
U12s: Natty Hilton
U18s: Felicity Howes-Yarlett, Sereena Peppard and Megan Rees

 Fundraising day a success!
On Saturday
19th Sept, the South Sussex Barbarians and parents went to Brighton RFC Senior team's first home league game to raise
money for the squad funds.
They provided a carwashing service for supporters and visitors while also running a BBQ to
feed them. The day was a great success and though the girls were shattered by the end of it, they managed to raise £225.
Thanks go to Brighton members and their visitors for the warm, friendly atmosphere and for letting the girls loose
on their cars!
