The Blue, Black & White won all three competitions last term and will be displaying the prestigious prizes at their 2025-26 Season Launch, a free-to-attend event for all the family at the Rec on Monday 25th August.

The launch will also include an open training session, a Q&A with the players and head coach Johann van Graan, an interview with former Bath, England and British & Irish Lions star Jonathan Joseph, live music from acoustic solo performer Lauren Helyar, selfie and autograph opportunities and family fun.

The gates and Fan Village will open at 1pm, with live music and lots of activities on offer.

And between 1pm and 1.30pm, open training will take place on the pitch – the Tribute (West) and Thatchers (North) stands will be open for spectators.

Joseph will be interviewed in the Fan Village at 2pm. And at 2.35pm, the Fan Village will be the venue for the Q&A.

Then, between 3pm and 4pm, there will be a selfie and autograph session with the squad in the Fan Village.

The Fan Village will also feature inflatables, a children’s craft area, face painting and a display of supercars.

And there will be the chance for young fans to win a British & Irish Lions shirt signed by Bath, England and Lions forward Will Stuart and Bath, Scotland and Lions back Finn Russell.

Joining van Graan in the Q&A will be assistant coach Richard Blaze, followed by captain Ben Spencer, Premiership Rugby Cup-winning squad skipper Ewan Richards, Miles Reid and Will Butt who will give some insights into pre-season and how they are preparing for the campaign proper.

Max the Mascot will be in attendance all afternoon – and food and drink will be on sale.
