The Yanks Are Coming!

Today in San Luis Obispo California it is around 70 degrees, and the sun is shining. However, a group of students from Cal Poly have forsaken their homeland to visit a chilly South Wales. They will find that we know how to keep a very warm welcome in the hillsides, and you can do your bit to warm up the welcome by coming to Sardis Road on Friday evening to watch them play rugby against our Youth XV.

Cal Poly is a nationally ranked comprehensive public university, with an emphasis on a "learn by doing" educational experience. This is very much like our own University of Glamorgan (the former Polytechnic of Wales) here in Pontypridd, and in terms of student numbers the two institutions are of a similar size. The similarity doesn't end there. Cal Poly is nestled in the foothills of San Luis Obispo, just minutes up the El Camino Real highway from California's Central Coast beaches.
