still up to date. The Thebans are the first gay rugby club in Scotland supporting primarily gay and bisexual men develop their rugby skills website: www.thebans-rfc.co.uk
The Caledonian Thebans RFC is Scotland's first specifically gay friendly rugby club for men. The club's playing members are therefore predominantly gay or bisexual, however, the club welcomes all! We are called the Caledonian Thebans after the Theban Sacred Band, one of the most famous Greek Regiment in military history. The club is based in Edinburgh, but members come from as far as Aberdeen, Glasgow and Berwick. The club was established because a group of gay men wanted to play contact rugby without fear of hostility or prejudice. The Thebans therefore aims to provide the means and facilities for men who are serious about playing contact rugby to do so in a safe and supportive environment. The club is about to embark on its third year. During this season the Thebans will be playing in Edinburgh District 2nd XV B League, and with various other confirmed commitments, quite an exciting year in prospect. We are affiliated to Portobello Rugby Football Club who have provided us with a lot of support in establishing ourselves. We became affiliated members of the Scottish Rugby Union and Edinburgh and District Rugby Union in December 2003.We have achieved a lot in the last two years and with many new and valued players joining the team through out the past season, the club continues to grow and develop. We welcome people whatever their experience of playing rugby, regardless of their fitness level, ability or age as our training is designed to allow them to develop their skills at the pace that is right for them. If you are interested in joining the Thebans as a player please E-Mail our Membership Secretary at membership@thebans-rfc.co.uk or phone 07074 THEBAN for the latest recruitment information. Thank you for all your support to the Caledonian Thebans. A special thanks to the The Regent, Edinburgh, Portobello RFC and Edinburgh Accies, who offer us thier continued support.continued support.
