Patron of Rugby for Heroes, Mike Tindall, joins Premiership players and 1 RIFLES to support the Armed Forces at the signing of the Rugby For Heroes 2012 calendar in Cheltenham.

England & Gloucester Rugby’s Mike Tindall, Worcester Warriors’ Marcel Garvey and Miles Benjamin, who all star in the risqué monochrome collection, will be at the Beechwood Shopping Centre in Cheltenham to personally sign the Rugby For Heroes 2012 calendar on Thursday 15th December from 6pm - 8pm. They will be accompanied by members of the 1 RIFLES of the 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines following their recent return from Afghanistan.

Other Aviva Premiership players featured in the charity calendar include Nick Abendanon, Delon Armitage, Dan Bowden, Noah Cato, Tom Croft, Marcel Garvey, Tom May, Ugo Monye, Topsy Ojo and Charlie Sharples.

Christmas late night shoppers will be able to buy the calendar and have it personally signed as the perfect Christmas gift for the ladies, whilst supporting the Rugby For Heroes charity which, through the rugby community, raises funds to help our Armed Forces who have suffered traumatic times back into training and finding new careers.

The calendar is also available to order from the Rugby for Heroes website www.rugbyforheroes.org.uk and makes an excellent Christmas gift for any rugby fan or supporter of the military.
