Hello all
Just a brief update on the events and reaction of Kalkan Lykian R.F.C. Well we completed 3 functions 'Lunch with the Lions' and in total over 200 people attended!
Our membership as grown to 42 and as you can see in our Facebook page our club shirts are well presented.
https://www.facebook.com/#!/KalkanLykianRFC?fref=tsOur club colours are based on the ancient Lykian League colours of red, black and silver. Our shirts are quartered in these colours. Our emblem, a 3 legged raven, a ancient mythical symbol used by the Lykians and other eastern cultures.
Members have donated new rugby balls and members from the UK have promised 'used' kit from their rugby clubs.
We have been in touch with the Turkish Rugby Federation and they wish to discuss how we can move forward together.
We are now in the process of getting together a presentation to put before the local authorites to seek assistance in publicizing rugby into the schools.
A lot as gone on since 25 April, our foundation day, but so much more to do to get a rugby game played with Turkish players from within this s.w corner of Turkey.
I noticed that 161 have viewed the original post. Thank you all for taking the time. I will try to keep you all informed as we progress down a long, long road!
Bye for now.
