When the sport gives back to the people who support it.

Last weekend was as busy as ever, had a cracking night at the gallery with some great djs, lighting was awsome and just generally got some cracking stuff.

Not much sleep later I was off to Harlequins Rugby ground on behalf of the RFL. It was the second big event of theirs I had been asked to go to recently so nice to have been asked back. It was an event to thank and respect those who support the sport, well where would sport be without those people, the volunteers, parents, friends etc.. who give up countless hours each week for no financial gain just for the love of the sport, and to see young sportsmen/women grow not only in their chosen field but also as individuals in the world.

First up was the community awards, for these guys, aswell as the awards for teams and players who won a recent tournament, so congratualtions to all those who got to go away with a trophy.

Once this was over it was off to the stands to watch the game (albeit slightly late for me as I decided to go down and snap some of the pre match warm ups etc...). Sadly it wasnt the best of starts for quins going down heavily by half time. Half time being when it was phase 2 of the days work, part of the half time show. Again this was to honour those people who support the sport, it was an opportunity for the fans to give their thanks, and a nice round of applause did everyone get, and a great experience for me being able to walk onto the pitch at half time to!

So that was me done for the day, I could sit back and enjoy the second half (one which quins picked up well at) and just generally relax.
