Came across this info over on Gwlad – London Welsh are looking to help out the victims of the tsunami in Samoa, which left many dead and the country devastated.
London Welsh v Cornish Pirates Saturday 17 October. Happy Hour between 12.30-1.30. Come along and watch Apollo Perelini and Trevor Leota in a special 7′s match followed by our first team game. There will be player interviews, raffles and auctions to raise funds for the victims of the tsunami in Samoa. Remember kids go free!
Now I’d been planning on going along to the game anyway. I am looking to move to London in the next couple of weeks and intend to be watching London Welsh on a semi frequent basis and this was going to be my first ever game there. But this gives an added incentive to get along to Old Deer Park.
Let us not forget that this will also be a great game, two teams very hopeful of doing well and possibly promotion this season.
So if you want to watch some good rugby, have a few beers and a good time AND help out a great cause get along to Old Deer Park this Saturday.
EDIT: an update – I found (was sent by the other half) this on the Drunken wasps forum (unofficial Wasps supporters group) http://www.rugbynetwork.net/boards/read/s96.htm?98,10940032
Dear All
Apologies that I am from London Welsh, but I believe this might be of interest to London Wasps supporters.
This Saturday, the 17th October at Old Deer Park, Richmond, London Welsh will be hosting a Fund Raising Day for the Samoan Tsunami Relief Appeal.
As part of the event, there will be a Samoan Legends 7s Match featuring a certain Mr T Leota. Trevor, along with other stars such as Apollo Perelini, a number of Rugby League players, and others who are confirming as we get closer, will be taking part in the match, which kicks of at 1.30pm
This will be followed by London Welsh vs Cornish Pirates at 3pm, which is a game between 2 of the top teams in the RFU Championship.
Tickets cost £12 (Covered Seating of Standing), with 25% of the Gate going to the Appeal. Kids go Free as well. A Hospitality Lunch costs just £25, including ticket and a 2 course rugby lunch. This is nearly full.
Also, there will be an Auction of Sporting Memorabilia from Samoan, Polynesian and Antipodean star between 2 and 2.30pm, a pre match raffle in hospitality and a bucket collection, with all funds going to the Appeal
There will be a Happy Hour from 12.30 to 1.30 as well, with Fullers Pride for £2 a pint. Post match there will be a band and a big screen showing the Heineken Cup game.

With regard to Trevor, I know that he is a rugby coach at the Elite Sporting Academy in Dubai. [www.elitesportingacademy.com]. I know no more, but if you want to find out, he will be here on Saturday
Kind Regards
Rob McEvoy
So 25% of the ticket sales are also going to the fund – get yourselves along there!
