Calling all Lincoln Lincoln College RFC Rugby players playing during the Lincoln College era (1950 to 1990) in any team, (Lincoln became a University in 1990).

The Lincoln University Rugby Football Club (LCRFC) is holding "the Last Autumn Muster Reunion" to celebrate and reminisce the years of Rugby playing for the LCRFC. We will remember and acknowledge the great times and invite all players (irrespective of grade played), supporters, wives, husbands and partners from this era.  

Funds raised from hosting this reunion will support rugby at Lincoln University for all current and future players and supporters. Funds will support the LURFC with both day to day funding support along side our sponsors, and will also contribute to future facilities projects.
