Welcome to the on-line home of the Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association.

We meet at Turnbridge WMC on the first Tuesday of each month to listen to and ask questions of a guest speaker. We often have events on other nights which have a more fun element to them! Browse our Calendar pages [2010, 2011, & 2012] for a full list of our activities past, present, and future.

In addition, Turnbridge sees us meet up with like-minded people on match days. Both Giants and visiting supporters are welcome to join us.

If you have any Giants/Fartown related photos, please let me know so that I can add them to the Photo Gallery.

Follow this link for more information about Turnbridge WMC.
