Belsize’s motto is “Win the game, but always Win the party.” Having toured the world in search of the best flavours of amateur rugby, we have collected, tweaked, refined and mastered the social science of post match celebration. We guarantee a warm welcome to all rugby friends and family. Below is a small taste of some of the regular parties we throw year-round.

	Front Row Union – Once or twice a season all members of the Front Row Union, past and present, meet for a gastronomic feast and a challenging game of Red or Black throughout. One special guest (non-FRU) is invited to every meal. Entrance criteria is very strict and we are still debating whether Martin Saville ever actually played in the Front Row. Sadly no other club member is still alive from his playing days to either confirm or deny.
Legend’s lunches – London town was made for long Friday lunches. For the clubs’ Alec-a-doos who feel they have spilt their last blood for Belsize, there is a monthly fine-dining experience where they can disguise dementia with drunkeness. They tell us there is nothing quite like hearing the allegorical details of a comrade’s war stories for the first time, again. Apparently it is quite the experience when the taxman occassionally allows our founder and ex-“President for Life” John Connelly to treat us to some of his cellar’s Bacchanalian delights.
	VP Lunches – For those elderly youths who are yet to be carried by Charon across to the Legend’s Lunches, and for those Legends allowed out on a gameday, there are pre-game lunches for Vice-Presidents ahead of certain home games during the season. Membership of the VPs is a key financial support base for the club each year. We will expect you at half-time after a very satisfactory lunch, to jeer and insult your own players.
Pimm’s Club – When summer comes and the rugby season ends for of all of us with additional winter insulation (that don’t want to lose it playing touch or sevens) then it is customary for us to meet once a month in the sun and take over a different but designated London drinking establishment with our fruit and mint. Feel free to take a shot at the Chris Geary trophy. Doc Crosby kindly hosts the Curtain-closing Pimms Club of the season in his humble Hampstead home.
	Club Quiz – The fact that the Front Row Union is the most prolific winner of this annual quiz says it all. This is the club’s biggest fundraising evening all year. Penalties for using google and Wiki are fluidly ferocious. Expect to drink a Balthazar worth of punishments without being able to google how many bottles that is.
Annual Black Tie Dinner Dance – Expect unfittingly glamorous surroundings. The dresscode is strict although some of us look “pretty in pink”, while others such as Knocker, have in the past stretched the definition of black tie….and nothing else.
	Christmas Party – According to the last club census, we are predominantly agnostic, but Christmas is a great excuse for a party! Often we invite a ladies’ team from some other sporting club so we don’t get mistaken for another sort of party
