Official Harlequin Ladies
Player Profile - HLFC Mum
By Viks - August 25 2005
Pippa has been mum to Quins Ladies for more seasons than she cares to remember. HLFC Mum is one of our fantastic team of volunteers now having retired from committee where she spent many a successful year coordinating our Youth side, many of whom have gone on to play rugby at a very high level. >
Name  Pippa Carey 	Awaiting picture of Mum!
Nickname Mum
Position Erstwhile committee member and youth co-ordinator, Kitchen maid, chef, camera, willing dogsbody and definitely retired!
Birthday  This year it was Nando’s before the Annual School Performance, last year it was Mulligan’s fish restaurant in Datchet, the year before Café Venice…….
Occupation Learning Support, domestic engineer and increasingly more confused mother
Date Joined Harlequins: I didn’t join, I was sort of acquired! Quite a few years ago
Previous clubs None as long as HLFC unless my dad is still paying my social membership to the club in Cayman!
Representative Honours:   South East Region and Mddx County First Aider, Administrator and Tour organiser to the South East Region – Biological mother of 2 successful County and Regional players, one of whom has made it into an England shirt!
Best Rugby moment Playing with the girls in the Generation Tag game at the Stoop - (only on the left as the left eye’s a bit dodgy!)
Worst Rugby moment Besides a very emotional training session at the Centaurs ground……being told that a few of the Amateurs had decided I could be mum to them too
Rugby ambition  To survive our annual outing to the Middlesex 7s without getting tired and emotional…….and remember all of it!
Why rugby Why not! Love it! What more can one say
Describe yourself  Older, willing and able to listen (particularly to Viks and T singing hymns on the mobile on their way back from Folkestone) Usually not phased and generally accepting of most things.
Favourite alcoholic beverage:  NOT Pimms !!!! NOT Fat Frogs!!! NOT Cheeky Vimto!! ( I like them, they just don’t like me) Mine’s a lager….although the odd Tequilla goes down well too
Other sports  Day to day living is sport these days – oh, and I used to swim
Favourite meal A seafood platter washed down with an exceedingly dry white wine preferably by the sea in a hot location.
Favourite film  Like Water for Chocolate
Most likely to say:  OK, when and where???
Least likely to say: Let’s all go to a loud, crowded disco til silly o’clock
Favourite quotation: The comfort of having a friend may be taken away – but not the knowledge of having had one
Best holiday (why):  Going home fits the bill! (to the Cayman Islands!) Need I say more?
Claim to fame:  Mother to HLFC – yes! All of them!! And occasionally some of Lichfield Ladies and Coventry Uni rugby girls – not to mention a few others who have joined the fold!
