Mini Rugby Tournament

It is now only 1 week to our tournament and all the coaches and the ladies who organise the kitchen rotas etc; are very busy. You may be contacted throughout the week to ask for your help. It will be most appreciated if you can do your best to assist us on Sunday as we now have SEVEN teams plus ourselves coming to make our tournament a fantastic day. This means that we will have approx 400 children & 80 coaches to be fed and hopefully as many parents to support them. This means that our clubrooms and changing rooms are going to be full to bursting therefore can I ask that ALL THE CHILDRENS KIT & CHANGE OF CLOTHES IS LABELLED - even their boots where possible!

Jed Legion have very kindly loaned us the use of their changing facilities so please check the blog to ensure that you know where your child is expected to be to change and meet their teammates and coaches and can all the children be at riverside and ready to play for 10.30 to allow them time for warm ups and practice runs.

I also want to remind parents that we ask ALL parents to provide a plate of something savoury (ie sandwiches or rolls) and something sweet (ie traybake or cupcakes) to be sold on the 'PLATE TABLE' . This has always been very well supported and hopefully it will be this year as we will have a lot of supporters to feed. This year, due to the number of teams involved and hopefully the increase in supporters we will follow the lead of every other club and make it 5 items for £1 (at least to start with!). We will also have burgers on sale from the BBQ outside and soup, pies, sausage rolls and tea & coffee available inside. There will also be a 50/50 cash prize raffle and programmes being sold on the day. I will hopefully have some new samples of t-shirts and hoodies that will also be available to order which will be ideal for christmas!

Finally, you will want to know when all this is due to finish....................The medal presentations are planned to take place at approx 1.30pm in front of the main stand.
