Oktoberfest - the Mini Rugby Festival
Book this date now - the Festival will be on Sunday 5th October so make sure that you're not on holiday.
All of the coaches will be enlisting the help of 'willing' volunteers to help with recording, refeering, preparing food, selling programmes etc. etc.
Please don't wait to be asked. We need to show other clubs that we can run an efficient and enjoyable sporting occasion.
So come on parents. Support your children and help to make it a memorable day.

Enjoy your rugby and watch this space!
When did you last catch a coach?
When did you last thank your coach?
Every Sunday throughout the season, come rain or shine, your coaches are there to help you develop skills to play teams at home and away so they're two coaches in one.
Do you know this man? Is case you don't he is Dave Jones, a Welshman who for some 16 years has been the Youth Chairman. Together with all of the mini and junior coaches he works like a Trojan to ensure that pitches are ready, equipment is to hand and food is on offer.
Do you know this lady?Christine Barguss has been serving food for years to hungry rugby players. On a Sunday too. And she's our very first lady Honorary Life Member.
He organises the Mini Festival each year as well.
What a man.
But as you all know there are many others like him. We always need volunteers.
How about asking your Mums and Dads if they can help. Tell them that all of our coaches are CRB cleared.

24 boys, 1 lucky girl, 4 coaches and 11 other adults went to Ireland to play three matches. They raised over £800 themselves towards their trip and the Committee agreed to make a grant of £200 to add to their efforts.
Go to Home/Juniiors/u16fix and click for info on what they did. Well some of it anyway.
