Having spoken with site management and ground staff, in addition to looking at the weather forecast temperature reports, unfortunately Saracens have no other option than to postpone the planned Alan Day VW International Players Coaching Event due to take place tomorrow evening (Wednesday 8th February) at Old Albanian RFC. This is obviously disappointing for both Saracens and more importantly those children expecting to take part. However in the interest of child welfare and participants enjoyment of the evening we hope parents and guardians will understand that the weather; and more importantly the playing surface; is not suitable for rugby at this current time. Saracens have been in contact with all those booked via email and text with regards to rescheduling the event for Wednesday 2nd May. Should you wish to talk to someone about the postponed event or the rescheduled date, please contact the community team on 01707285026.For more info on the news and updates please visit rugbytweets.com http://rugbytweets.com/saracens/news/644679 http://rugbytweets.com/saracens/news/644679 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:10:14 +0000 Saracens reveal they will play Fijian champions Nadroga Stallions in the United Arab Emirates next month..
