It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Karen Rose.

Karen is the wife of former 1st team and Exiles Captain Mark Rose.

Mark captained the 1st XV for 8 years in the 1990s and Karen was a much loved figure around the club during his captaincy.

Karen’s funeral service will take place at Redditch Crematorium on Friday 19th December at 1:15pm.

And afterwards friends will gather at the King’s Court Hotel, King’s Coughton, near Alcester, B49 5QQ.

Our sympathy goes out to Mark and the boys.

May she rest in peace.
