Phone calls from the players
« on: Thursday 26-Mar-2020, 19:20* »
My Dad had a missed call earlier, he phoned it back and it was none other than Mike Brown. No this was not a hoax call, the players have been asked to check up on their older members to make sure they’re ok at this time. They had a lengthy chat which ended with my Dad thanking him for his years of service to the club and country. It made his day. Fantastic initiative by the club which deserves applauding 👏

I had a very pleasant and quite lengthy chat with Nick Evans, made my day I can tell you! My son doesn’t believe me and thinks its a hoax.

From email from CEO today
•   Our players and coaches have really enjoyed taking time out to contact over 500 of our Members who require our support the most - to check in and ensure they are coping. We have as a result done everything from getting shopping for an elderly Member who was unable to leave the house to sharing rugby stories and smiles. We will continue to roll this out to our wider supporter base as part of the #MakeThatCall campaign.

Wow - that's a fantastic idea and really cheered me up. Makes you proud to be a member of the Club. I'll have to start answering unrecognised numbers now just in case !

Yes lots of rugby and football clubs seem to be doing this.

Well done Quins, what a great gesture and I imagine the players and staff would have taken a lot out of it as well.

I'm expecting a call any day now from Gussie, to see if I'm available to play next season. Any day now...

Excellent idea.  It's not often I wish I was a bit older :)

I think I'd be a great bingo caller. "2 and 7... 9!". "All the ones... 1!"
