In the spring of 1977, Chuckanut hosted its first touring team when National Westminster Bank of London, England arrived. Through contacts made with Nat West, the club hosted the Pilgrim Fathers RFC of Torquay, England in the spring of 1979. With this foundation of tour-related friendships, Chuckanut undertook its first overseas tour to the British Isles in September 1980, winning three games and losing two. Again, in 1984, the Geoducks returned to England, Wales and Ireland, winning four games and losing two.
