We're celebrating our 50th anniversary this year.

The world has changed a lot since we sent our first groups abroad all those years ago, but we are every bit as passionate about the work we do as we were when we started.

Sports touring has a special way of bringing people together from all walks of life, encouraging us to celebrate the things we have in common. Over the past 50 years, we've had some incredible experiences working with brilliant people to create memories that will last a lifetime.

None of this would be possible without your continued support. Every teacher, party leader, student, player, driver, and everyone else involved in our tours has played their part. And we will forever be grateful to all of you.

We're looking forward to bringing you all along for the ride over the next 50 years. In the meantime, we want to honour this milestone with the celebration it deserves.

Keep an eye on our website and social media in the coming months. We have loads in store for you, including events, giveaways, competitions, and so much more. Big things are coming!

What a week we've just had at Rosslyn Park! We'll be posting our highlights soon but in the meantime, we just wanted to say congrats to all the winners and A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all those who joined us for what was our best one yet! Roll on next year 🏉

Ahead of the Rosslyn Park Schools 7s in two weeks, we asked our very own Andrew to tell us more about the Edwin Doran tent and what you can expect in there:

“When we first started pitching our Edwin Doran tent at Rosslyn Park, it was a little low-key but a lot of fun! We’ve come a long way since the early days.

These days, our tent is the perfect place to meet like-minded people who love rugby just as much as us and catch up with friends and old colleagues you haven’t seen for years. You might even see some famous people if you’re lucky!”
- Andrew Loughlin, Sales Manager at Edwin Doran

Did you know? Rugby turns 200 years old this year 🎂

It was in 1823 that William Webb Ellis from Rugby School famously picked up the ball in his arms and ran with it during a football match at his school - and Rugby was born!

We'll be celebrating the 200th Bicentenary of our beautiful sport all year in 2023, starting next month with the Rosslyn Park Sevens. Good luck to all the teams preparing for it as we speak! We can't wait to see you all there!
