Mike Crawshaw, Chair of Tees Valley Sport said:
“The rugby festival is a fantastic opportunity for people to learn to play the game in a fun environment, get fit and enjoy the hospitality at Mowden Park. It is a great way for local employers to organise an exciting day out for their staff and help build team spirit. Rugby has had a high profile over the past year with the Rugby World and the New Zealand All Blacks basing themselves in Darlington. I am sure that the workplace teams will have a superb day at Mowden Park”.
