Edward Cooke Family Law sponsors Farnham R.U.F.C. Minis Tour 2025
04 March 2025
To celebrate the launch of our Farnham office, we were pleased to sponsor the Farnham R.U.F.C. Minis Tour 2025, which took place during the first weekend of March. 650 parents and children travelled from Surrey to Ladram Bay in Devon on Friday evening to take part in the 'Level Up' tour.
Director Grace Parker-White who is one of the tour's first aiders, and her husband Antony, one of the team coaches, were among the group who travelled to Devon to support their children. A true family affair!
On Saturday the Farnham Minis were hosted by Chard R.U.F.C. and played against Taunton, Newton Abbot and Chard in the morning before returning to Ladram Bay to use the facilities and don fancy dress for the evening event.
On Sunday they were hosted by Exmouth R.U.F.C. All players, coaches and parents threw themselves into the tour with great enthusiasm, and were treated to glorious spring sunshine from start to finish.
Congratulations to Farnham R.U.F.C. for providing this wonderful opportunity for budding young rugby players to experience the excitement and enjoy all the benefits of away matches in beautiful Devon. We were delighted to support the tour.

"It is fantastic to be able to support the Farnham Minis Tour in our first year in Farnham. Community involvement and support is a central thread of the firm's philosophy and so we jumped at the opportunity to support the Minis. They played brilliantly in their matches, and players and spectators alike were thrilled to enjoy bright sunshine all weekend."
