Message from Katie Sheen, U11's Freddie's mum;-

I am opening a new office for the largest brain tumour charity in the UK, the Samantha Dickson Research Trust, in Bramhall over these next few weeks and am looking for help to keep the costs as low as possible. Specifically, I'd really appreciate some suggestions as to where would be good places to try for either free or good deals on 3 computers and a phone system, along with recommendations of reliable local companies whom we could use for the maintenance of those systems.

I'm also looking for a full time member of staff; someone who will be responsible for the administration of the office, but also keen to get involved with both fundraising and the organisation of our new national Telephone Support Network for patients and carers. The job advert isn't written yet, (I only found the offices yesterday!) but if anyone out there knows of somebody who would like to know more, it would be great to hear from them.

People can find out more about the charity's work at www.astrofund.org.uk and www.sdrt.co.uk ; I'll be at the U11 match on Sunday but then away Mon- Sat for half term, but back after that and contactable on 0161 929 1505.

Many thanks,
Katie Sheen

First Team Sponsorship

Here are some sponsorship opportunities for your business which help you and the club

Match Day Sponsorship
The cost is £500 + vat for which you can bring as many people as you wish subject to the physical restriction that the Presidents suite will hold (probably 40 ). You and your guest get entrance to the game, program etc. A limited number of reserved car park spaces. Food and drinks are available at whatever level you require and are invoiced based on actual consumption.

Personal Hosting
Again as you possibly know, on first team home match days we host ALL visiting officials & committees + ALL referees at the Club that day, in the 1860 suite.
We fund this by a number of members donating £100, or more if they can and wish to, and have built a substantial reputation for what we do with Clubs in National 2 and beyond.
The funding members are invited in / able to join the hosting operation whenever they choose.
The £ 100 gives them free beer or wine + food both before and after every home game for the season.

Match Day Hosting
A second approach to this, for this coming year championed by Denzil, is for each specific game. 4 guys club together and donate £200.
They become the official hosting sponsors for the day and come in and enjoy hospitality before and after games

For those that didn't receive the handout on Sunday 30th January 2005:-

Manchester Rugby Club – Sunday 23 January & Communication
Ormskirk
I know a number of you went to Ormskirk last week to find the games had been called off. We do try very hard to provide opportunities for the players to play and when those are denied us which regrettably has happened too often this year, as a result of weather; we try to give you as much notice as possible.
I spoke with the fixtures secretary at Ormskirk on Saturday around 6pm when I advised that subject to frost or torrential rain in my view our pitches were playable. He said they had no problems with drainage on their pitches and he did not anticipate there was going to be a frost and therefore we took the view that the game was on. We agreed however that we would speak on Sunday morning to confirm.
I met Tom Moston, MRC’s chairman of grounds, at 8am at our place on Sunday and we walked the pitches. At 8.30am I phoned Ormskirk and called off the under 15’s game at Manchester on the basis I could not assure Ormskirk that the pitches would be playable before about 1.00pm. At that time the fixture secretary had not carried out a pitch inspection. He said he was going down to the club at that point and would contact me. Conscious of the fact that it is a one hour drive to Ormskirk I called him twice between 8.30am and 9.15am. The discussion at 9.15am when we spoke was that their pitches were frozen that he anticipated they would thaw but it was still freezing in Ormskirk. In view of the fact that it was the mini’s who were travelling we agreed that as it was at best marginal that the games should not take place. This quite straightforwardly is a health and safety issue.
Those coaches that were at the club were told immediately and had the ability to contact their teams which they worked hard to do. I managed to speak with one who had set off and one on a ski slope in Switzerland – he text his team.
On this occasion there was no opportunity to post information on the website or to give you earlier warning.
Text messaging – Give your coach your mobile number
We discussed this issue at the M&J committee on Monday. We want to trial the coaches sending a text message to the list distribution from their mobile phones. Can I ask you therefore to make sure if you have got a mobile phone that the coach has that number? If the weather is marginal because of rain, snow or frost please do not set off without a positive confirmation that the game is on.
If we have decided that the game is off on the Saturday we will post the information to the club mini and junior website which is Manchester-Rugbyyouth.com.
Newsletters
On the subject of the website we do post up to date and current information on that website and I strongly encourage you to review it there. From time to time there have been requests for newsletters. As a general rule we have steered away from the use of newsletter and tried to use the website.
The reasons for this are as follows.
1 As we all know from dealings with children at school ‘people mail’ which is the distribution approach here is unreliable. How many of us have received notification of parent/teachers evenings which are either 2 weeks ago or tomorrow?
2 We have about 200 members and the logistics of generating and posting out newsletters in hard copy are infinitely more difficult than posting an electronic newsletter to the website.
3 The work of generating a newsletter on paper rather than electronically is far greater . It has to be printed, folded, enveloped, stamped and then posted.
4 Four newsletters a year is equivalent to sending three people on a level 1 RFU coaching course.
Please advise your player’s coaches your preferences on communication. Within this feedback let them know how frequently you would like communications and what matters you would like covered together with the preferred medium for communication. We will then go with the consensus.


Pitches - Knowledge, experience and expertise required
It’s an understatement to say that the weather so far this season has been unkind to us. It is clear that we have to do something radical to improve the playing area. It is obvious that we need to do something dramatic in relation to drainage. In order to achieve this we need advice on what to do and then we will need substantial equipment and manpower to carry out the plan of work. This of course dismisses the other important factor of money. The constraint on the club’s cash resources is such that much of this work will have to be done a self help basis. Once we have the plan we will communicate this to you. If anybody has particular areas of expertise which would assist in the developing of the plan, in making grant applications or can come up with any other ideas which would support the funding and let us achieve the plan quicker would they please contact me?
The aim as part of the plan is to look radically at the pitch layout to see if we can make better use of our land. When the plan is complete I will let you know what is proposed.
Club Successes – Representative Rugby – England Honours
Congratulations to Rory Price, under 16 fullback who has been chosen as fullback for the England A team – under 16. Well done Rory, this is a fantastic achievement. In addition to Rory’s success at national level we have a very significant number of players who from under 13 to under 16 are in county development squads and county squads themselves. The club continues to provide representative players to both Lancashire and Cheshire at all levels.
On the team front in the EFE Junior Rugby Challenge (formerly Lancashire Cup) the under 14’s and under 16’s have qualified for the knock-out stages of the cup competition coming respectively second and first in their leagues with the under 13s and 15’s qualifying for the plate competition having achieved third place in their leagues.
Dates for the Diary Tournament 2005/06

Under 7 – Under 10 25 September 2005 Under 11 – Under 12 16 October 2005
If any one has any questions or observations or can assist please contact me.

Subject: MRC Club Work over the Christmas Period

Date Posted: 00:03:51 12/20/04 Mon
Hi Everybody.

During the Xmas break, we would like to continue the refurbishment work we started in the summer, towards improving the facilities at the Club for us all.
To that end, I would appreciate your help to do the work, starting on the bank holiday Monday 27th Dec.
We will continue through that week with the aim of getting as much done as we possibly can.

Can I ask you to come back to me and let me know if you can help, and on which, or all days.

As Dai did for us in the summer, I want to schedule the work and make sure we have got everything we need to do the jobs.

Priority 1 will be to power hose clean the dressing rooms and corridor from top to bottom on day 1.

Priority 2 will be to repaint each of the dressing rooms and corridor + re-varnish and repair if necessary the benches and replace any missing coat hooks on day 2.

We need to repaint the Hall and 1860 suite, both ready for New Years Eve and to make sure it is up to standard when we hire it out. This hiring out activity produces a significant amount of revenue which is used towards paying for the costs of running the Club.

We have some outside work to do by the brook, to improve the drainage, which Tom will supervise

The intention is to get rid of surface water and make the pitches better for our use.

We also need to do whatever cleaning up of the car park & drive that we can, of leaves and debris from the autumn

We need to sort out rubbish from the storage containers at the rear of the Club to improve the efficiency of our operations.

Further, we have obtained a new container which we intend to convert to an auxiliary dressing room, for use when we have congestion of 3 or more home games and at the start and end of the season when we cross over with Cricket.
This container is located on the hard standing where the scrummaging machine is stored.

Finally, we would like to erect two new telegraph poles on the pitch by the side of the brook, so that we can add additional flood lighting. We have all the equipment, we just need to put it in place.

Can you please circulate this message around you contacts / squads / sections of the Club, to generate as much help as we can.

Thanks in advance.
KP.

Regards,
Keith.

Subject: Leagues for U13 to U16

Date Posted: 01:17:40 02/10/03 Mon
I am presently discussing setting up a league structure for these age groups for either 2003/04 or possibly 2004/05 season. This is modelled on the successful Colts leagues. The aim would be leagues of 6 or 7 teams 14 meaning 12 or 14 home and away games in the season. It might mean more travelling unless we run it in various conferences with play offs at the end of the season. Leagues will be seeded such that teams are more evenly matched.
Would this result in more players turning out than for friendlies?
Does anyone have any other views or comments?

The idea is sound, but (there's always a but!) I would have a concern about playing this number of games as well as the Lancs Cup, county squad weekends etc. Would this impinge on the training weekends?

Also, there would have to be a number of leagues/conferences to avoid mis-matches.
Cheers
Phill

Phil,
Thanks for the comments . Proposal is developing. Likely to be seeded leagues, 10 games home and away, Lancs cup takes precedence. Representative weekends not accomodated. On training we would have to stay within structured season so training continues.
A paper will go to Lancs Youth Task Group for their 11 march meeting. Thereafter open clubs meeting to discuss. Looks like not possible without undoing all fixtures for 2003/04 season although I would like a pilot League to trial if we can with full implementation in 2004/05
