Great training session at Old Reigatians last Sunday. We’ve learnt some new coaching drills that we’ll introduce into our sessions. Hope that the kids enjoyed a change of scene, and well done to those who were awarded a certificate.

This Sunday
This weekend we are all at home except the U12 who are having a friendly at Tonbridge. The weather has been drier this week, so it will be good to get back up to Warlingham for a sharp 10am start.

Changing room / Bath
Please remember to put boots on in the changing rooms, and not in the main hall.

If the kids are muddy / cold after training they can use the giant bath in the changing rooms. Remember to bring swimming trunks (not compulsory but recommended) and a towel if your child would like to have a bath on Sunday. It did go down very well with the U8s and U10s apparently last week.

Use times will be staggered so it does not get too busy. Unless we are told otherwise, the times will be

U6 - 11.00 - 11.15 am
U7 - 11.30-11.45 am
U8 - 11.45-12.00 am
U9 and U10 - 12.00-12.15 pm
U11 and U12 - 12.15-12.30pm

Sponsorship for the Tour
We have a big group of U7s who signed up to the rugby tour in Minehead before Christmas.
Previous tours have been excellent fun, enjoyed by all, as well as being a marvellous spectacle. Our club has drawn attention to itself through its success and sportsmanship at these tournaments and we have even made new friends who have travelled to attend our festivals of late.

As always we have a theme and this year it is 'Star Wars'. An amazing kit for the kids has been designed which will no doubt be very popular.
Although we have a number of willing parents who put a lot of effort and personal time into planning and organising this event, the kit costs money. We have been very fortunate previous years to have sufficient sponsorship from various parents/companies to enable us to pay for the tour kit for the boys, and we hope to be able to do the same this year.

As a club we have many parents running or working for companies that may be interested in contributing sponsorship for this tour, in return the company logo of their choice will be added to the tour kit. In addition we also produce tour polo shirts and hoodies which the parents buy, we can have the company logos added to these also which are worn continuously by the parents both at and outside the club. We can also offer pitch side boards at WRFC, logos on the website and having the company logos on the tour information we send out as part of the package.

If you are interested in sponsoring the minis tour for any amount, or know someone who might be, then please get in contact with Russ Joao - russjoao@yahoo.co.uk , who is the overall organiser of the tour and Peter Jerrom – peter.jerrom.WRFC@gmail, as soon as you possibly could.

Please also note that tour shirts should NOT be worn when we host clubs or go away to other clubs - we should use our main sponsored kit where we can.

Festivals
We’ve got a few festivals coming up… I’ll talk about these after training on Sunday.

See you on Sunday.

Thanks, Rob
