Part of Quinssa's aims are to run our own events and to support the events organised by Harlequins, here are some details of forthcoming ones:

Quinssa Christmas Toy Appeal

Following on from the huge success of last year’s Toy Appeal organised by Quinssa at the request of Plymouth Albion, Quinssa are delighted to announce that they have now agreed a joint venture to donate toys, contributed by Quins’ supporters, to our own local hospitals.

One of the main recipients will be the Shooting Star children’s hospice in Teddington, which I’m sure you will agree is a very deserving cause.

Players, accompanied by Quinssa committee members, will be visiting these hospitals in mid-December to present these gifts.

Quinssa will be collecting toys on their stand in the East Stand Bar before the Bath match on 9th December.

Toys should be new, wrapped and have a label attached (one that won’t come off easily in storage/transit!) indicating whether they are for a boy or a girl and the age group the toy is designed for.

We will also be collecting cash, which we will use to purchase toys, at the Quinssa stand on the 9th if you would prefer to donate cash. Thank you very much to those who donated cash at Wednesday's Meet the Academy event.

We do hope you will be able to support this Appeal.

If you have any questions please email me at rugbybird@quinssa.org.uk

Update: Quinssa collected dozens of bags of toys for the children and also collect £300 in cash for the hospice. Here is a letter from Shooting Star (click on it to download a pdf):
