On Saturday 10th December over 300 families and players old and new came together in festive cheer as the Falmouth Rugby Clubhouse came to life for the inaugural Falmouth Rugby Family Reunion, an event that enabled members to come together and celebrate all those who have shaped the Club in its first 150 years.
