May 7th Newsletter 2008

Welcome back and I hope you've enjoyed the holidays and hopefully a good break as we will be into full swing starting this Saturday.

Our season kicks off this Saturday 10th May, times and venues are on the notice board and will be up there each week.  You can also check the draws here: DRAWS

The draw will also be in the Waikato Times on Thursday, however if there are conflicing draws, the website is the draw you go with which will be the draw that I will go by.

On Sunday 25th May will be the Waikato Central Junior Rugby Board Annual 10 aside Tournament which will be at Hopuhopu grounds in Ngaruawahia.  There will be an entry fee of $5 per car.  There will also be food stalls

All proceeds will go to the Waikato Central Junior Rugby Board which covers all day to day administration of Junior Rugby, jerseys, tracksuits, ribbons etc for representative rugby such as Goourd Cup, Bowers, Goldfields and Gwynne Shield.

The fees for this season if they could be paid as soon as possible would be very much appreciated are: $30.oo per person or $50.oo a family (family being brothers and sisters)  Every child will receive a Player of the Day award this year like they have every other year. Also at prize giving we acknowledge every player in every team as well as the individual winners.

Remember children will recieve their Player of the Day Award at the Melville Rugby Club on Saturdays at 5pm. Please support this awards afternoon.

The 13th and 11th grade teams have new sets of jerseys this year to start the season.  The next teams that we will be putting in a grant application form for will be the 12th and working our way back down to the 6th grades.

We are also continuously looking for sponsorship so if you know of anyone that is in the position to sponsor our juniors that would be very much appreciated.

Gear will be available throughout the season:

Shorts                                     $14.oo

Socks                                      $10.oo

Mouthguards                            $ 2.50

Old Jersys for trainin in              $5.oo

Jackets                                     $10.oo

We are also looking for a representative preferably a manager from every team and anyone else who would like to join our committee so that every team knows what is going on throughout the season. Also it is good to see new faces and listen to new ideas.
