Cranbrook Literature Festival
We are delighted that author Tom Palmer will be visiting Cranbrook Rugby Club as part of the Cranbrook Literature Festival, on Saturday 1st October at 10.30 am. Tom Palmer is the author of 37 children's books featuring spies, aeroplanes, ghosts, detectives, war, football and rugby. He has written three series for Puffin Books - Football Academy (7+), Foul Play (9+) and The Squad (9+) - and several books for Barrington Stoke, including Scrum (7+), Ghost Stadium (9+), Secret F.C. (7+), Over the Line (10+) and the Rugby Academy and Wings series (9+).
Tom visits over 200 schools every year to run his Football and Rugby Reading Games, which tie in with his long-term work in reader development. He works regularly for the National Literacy Trust, the British Council, the Reading Agency, Reading Force, the Premier League and England Rugby. He is the Writer in Residence at the RAF Museums (2015 to 2018)
He is brilliant at inspiring children to pick up a book and read, as well as encouraging writing. He is also great fun, and uses sport to reach out – his sessions tend to be loud,interactive and involve throwing balls about!

Ruaridh McConnochie grabs Silver Medal
Cranbrook RFC's Ruaridh McConnochie gained a silver medal in Rio as part of a very successful GB Sevens squad. Despite losing to very worthy winners Fiji in the final, they played in some very tight games beating Japan, New Zealand Argentina and South Africa in their run to the Gold Medal match. Ruaridh was delighted to receive his medal and said "It's been a hell of a journey and minutes on the pitch were never a goal, just to enjoy the moment and I really did!" Cranbrook RFC is very proud of your achievements and we know you have more to come!
