Mowden Park will be hosting our very own Armed Forces Day in support of ex and current armed forces personnel. On Saturday 11th November, Mowden 1st XV will play Rosslyn Park in a 2pm kick off, on a busy day at the Arena. This fixture will be aligned with Remembrance Day and will have an armed forces theme running throughout.

Mowden’s Forces Day will help to raise money for a number of Armed Forces Charities who will be in attendance on the day. Both Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion will be at the Arena raising funds for their worthy causes. Look out for the collection buckets, poppies and wrist bands that uniformed members will be carrying around the Arena.

On the pitch, there will be a guard of honour, with pipes and drums playing prior to kick off. We will of course be holding a minutes silence, preceded by a military bugler playing the last post.

There will be plenty of entertainment for all the family pre-match, with features for everyone to explore. Military Vehicles, Capability Exhibits, Kit Stands and Merchandise Stalls will all be on display prior to the 2pm KO, as well as a number of surprises on the day. We will have special guests Hero Bear and Army Bear marching around for the children to meet and get photos with.
