WELCOMEThe challenges of competing at the top

end of rugby in this country and in Europe have been there for all to see during the

2014/15 season. Squads are getting stronger, matches more competitive, stadia improving - and Harlequins is

at the heart of the action.

Once again, there are special memories – hard fought home wins over great teams like Leicester Tigers and Leinster in an

atmosphere at our stadium that just gets better with each passing season. That

is down to you, our loyal supporters. You bring your passion, your humour and your

welcome to our home, The Stoop.

It is your loyalty and support that keeps us striving to be the best we can be and they

will be more important than ever as we embark on two exceptional seasons

for our game and our Club.

Rugby World Cup 2015 will dominate the early autumn and will provide an

opportunity to grow our sport. July 2016 will see the start of our celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Harlequins, a rare milestone. Our Members will be central to all that happens at these special events.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to welcoming you back to The Stoop.

David Ellis, Chief Executive

CONOR O’SHEADirector of Rugby

There is no doubt that the environment we operate in

is becoming more and more competitive, but also more

exhilarating, with every passing week.

Here at Harlequins we have a great mix of household

names who are combining with the young talent that continues to be produced by the Club’s Academy.

This blend of internationals and youth continue to

offer the perfect mix with experience and exuberance complementing each other

on and off the pitch.♦

Our ambition remains the same: we are here to win games and to be the best. There will always be challenges to be met along

the way within a season and within each game.

With your loyal support, which incredibly gets

louder and plays a greater role each season, we can

meet these challenges together and enjoy the final

destination.

WE ARE QUINSHarlequins is more than just a rugby club. Offering a

unique experience and adding spice to life we provide something that you won’t find anywhere else.

Our Members have made lifelong friends and found husbands and wives in a close-knit

welcoming community. ♦

A club steeped in rich heritage with a history dating back to 1866, we have developed our own unique playing style, encompassing tempo, ruthlessness, unpredictability and enjoyment. We play with flair, fluidity and a desire to win for each other and our supporters. Our squad comprises a number of established, household names as well as an award-winning Academy, with the Australian

powerhouse James Horwill joining us after this year’s Rugby World Cup.

Our ambition goes beyond the field of play and in January we launched the Harlequins Foundation, which is built on three strands: safer and stronger

communities; inclusion and diversity; and education, enterprise and training, with the principal driving elements to improve lives within our community

and raise money for charity. ♦

The values of rugby, which will be inherent throughout the Foundation, will be central to the game’s

development on the back of the Rugby World Cup, which will provide a unique opportunity for us to grow

the game at all levels, from the grassroots through to the professional level. Harlequins will be at the

heart of this and we look forward to celebrating the occasion with you as we create a Club party at The

Stoop and welcome all supporters, young and old, to our various activities.

Being a Harlequin is about much more than 80 minutes of rugby. It’s about being part of something

much bigger. It’s about standing together.

We are Quins.

“My first Quins game

was in 2002 and I’ve been hooked ever since. The Stoop has a

fantastic atmosphere and I always look forward to catching

up with friends I’ve made here and on away trips. I met my wife through

Quins and the Club is a big part of our lives and two of Quins’ youngest supporters!”

Scott Cooke, Member

“That bond we’ve developed over the years

is at the heart of what we do every weekend…

it means a lot to play alongside your very best friends in front of some of the most loyal supporters

in the Premiership.” Mark Lambert

“We’ve grown up together playing for and representing Harlequins,

from the Academy through to the First Team.

Each week we go out to play for each other

as much as for you, our incredible supporters.”

Chris Robshaw

“We couldn’t do what we do without you and your support and with

the link we have as players and friends – be

assured that we will continue to work hard to put in the performances

you want to see.”Jack Clifford

EXTRA BENEFITS FOR JUNIOR MEMBERS

KIDS AT QUINS

One of our principal aims is to get more kids playing rugby

and we offer a number of opportunities for

children of all ages to enjoy our game

MATCHDAY Currently over 100 affiliated clubs and

schools regularly take part in our matchday activities, such as our

DHL Curtain Raiser Cup Festivals, Coaching Clinics, Guards of

Honour and Junior Press Clubs. This season we

also hosted our first Community Matchday

Takeover, allowing local children to take on key match day roles under the supervision of our

staff, players and coaches.

CHARITY PARTNERS

Through the Harlequins Foundation we are

now working with three charity partners to

support young people and the community for a brighter future. Through Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s

Charity, Teach a Man to Fish and Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby, we help raise money and awareness through

exciting events, player visits and development

opportunities.

CAMPSLast summer we held 26

camps involving over 1,200 children

throughout South East England. This included our first ever girls-only camp and a residential

camp designed to mirror a week in the life of a

professional rugby player. Our aim is

simple: to teach children how to play the

Quins way!

SCHOOLS We now work with more schools than

ever before providing teacher training,

curriculum coaching and after school clubs. We also run specific girls-only sessions, coaching 300 girls

locally.

INCLUSIONThe HITZ Programme,

which we run from Lambeth, educates

disadvantaged young people and supports

them into opportunities in mainstream education and vocational training,

whilst reducing crime and anti-social behaviour. We also

run rugby programmes in inner city schools,

supporting young people to engage in rugby in school and into club

environments.

“My family and I have

enjoyed our first year as Members

immeasurably. Every event the Club has organised

has been brilliant.“The atmosphere at The Stoop is

always fantastic; especially for families (our children are 6 & 9) and Big Game 7 at

Twickenham was a real highlight.” Kai Hunter, Member

JOEMARLER

Club captainQuins is the club I

grew up supporting as a kid. I remember

coming here and once getting thrown out for misbehaving, but it didn’t deter me at all. At that point I

never once thought I could be captain of my

childhood club!♦

It’s a huge honour to be captain and great to see the faith placed in me by Conor, the Club and the lads. It’s not the

easiest job – with big shoes to fill – but I’m

learning every day and I benefit from having a great team of leaders

around me whose support is invaluable.

We have such a fantastic group of

supporters who travel all over Europe and the

UK to watch us play – your commitment is massive and means

everything to this group of players. So from

them and me; thank you.

“We love Quins. We

moved away from Twickenham but still

make the long journey. That’s pulling power!!”
