Dear Members

Important Survey

As a club, we face some important decisions in the future and the Committee would like the views of the members on these key topics. We have developed a short survey that we would like ALL members to complete. It should take no more than 5 minutes and will provide vital information on how YOU want us to take the club forwards. Please could you take the time to complete the survey, by selecting the link below, as soon as possible and no later than the end of September.

Training

Training as usual this Sunday morning at 9.30.

I must warn all NEW members who have not yet handed in a signed waiver to the Operations Tent that your child will not be allowed to continue to train if you do not hand in the forms this weekend. Also, if you have not yet bought kit for your children then please do so. We are happy for new joiners to play in other kit for 2-3 weeks to ensure that they are settled in and enjoying themselves before you invest in kit but thereafter they should be training in TRC kit – this facilitates selection of teams in training and gives the children a rugby identity!

We have invested in some extensive remedial work on the pitches and you will have noticed last Sunday that a lot of sand has been laid on the playing surface to improve the drainage. More sand was laid earlier this week so we may find the playing surface deteriorates slightly in the short term but are hopeful this will yield long term gains. The Operations Tent will have a much needed facelift next week. Thanks to Mark Fielding for co-ordinating this.
