Micros Training Sunday 7th May 2017, 11.30 – 12.30hrs

Hi Folks,

Micros are training at their usual time this Sunday with registration at 11.15hrs and on the pitch between 11.30hrs and 12.30hrs.

Another reminder for the Pitch 3 Fundraising Ceilidh Night on Friday 19th May 2017, with tickets at £15.00 per adult available for purchase in the Clubhouse.

Also a date for your diary is the Club Fun day, the end of our season on Sunday 21st May 2017, with medals and certificates for everyone and trophies for the Player of the Season and Most Improved Player of the Season to be awarded. This is usually a great day for every member of the Club, plus Mums, Dad’s, Uncles, Aunties, etc, to take part, so I hope you will be there and stay for a refreshment afterwards.

I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.

Yours in rugby,

A gentle reminder to buy tickets for the P1-P5 family Fundraising Ceilidh Night on Friday 19th May. Tickets are £15.00 per adult and kids go free.

I’ll see you all on Sunday.

Hi Folks,

I hope you had a great Easter Break.

Training resumes this Sunday, so look forward to seeing you all at 11.15hrs for registration and then on the pitch for 11.30hrs to 12.30hrs.

Please remember to buy your Minis Fundraiser family ticket for £15.00 when you come. This is a family ceilidh night on Friday 19th May 2017 to raise funds for the pitchworks and Floodlighting of pitch 3 to turn it into a dedicated Mini Rugby training area. I very much hope you can support us for this event.

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday and as we will be short of volunteer coaches, all assistance on the pitch would be much appreciated.

Micros Training Sunday 26th March 2017, 11.30 – 12.30hrs

Hi Folks,

This Sunday is the last training day before the Easter Break and remember – THE CLOCKS GO FORWARD!! – So you get an hour less in bed. It’s also Mother’s Day, so Mum’s, come and treat yourself by helping out with the Micros on your special day…!

I also wish to note that we have booked the hall for the P1-P5 Fundraising night on Friday 19th May 2017. This is a Family Evening so bring everyone along. It’s also an evening that needs to be organised by everyone, so if you have any ideas to raise money to go into our new Pitch 3 facilities, please let us know. Food, Cakes, Raffle, Tombola, Rugby Cards, Games, Dances, Prize Draws, you name it. 100 people spending £15 each will achieve the target we are setting for each age group. Of course, more would be even better!

I’ll have a handout at Training and look forward to hearing your ideas. 11.15hrs registration and on the pitch, or in the hall from 11.30hrs to 12.390hrs.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Yours in rugby,

Jon Jewitt.

Micros Training Sunday 19th March 2017

Hi Folks,

Training will be at its usual time of 11.15hrs registration and then 11.30hrs on the pitch, or in the hall until 12.30hrs. Given the weather forecast it is likely to be indoors, so please make sure the players have the appropriate clothing for either option. We will have a few coaches missing on Sunday, therefore we’re always on the look out for volunteers.

As noted previously, we have won a significant award from the SRU and Sportscotland to floodlight and refurbish Pitch 3, which your child will be one of the first to benefit from its use. There is a 20% funding shortfall that Whitecraigs must meet, so I am appealing for volunteers to step forward to help organise family fundraising events. Each age group is tasked to raise £1,500.00, so please let me know if you can help. Please, please , please help!

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Yours in rugby,

Micros Training Sunday 12th March 2017 – 11.30 to…

Dear All,

For the third week in succession I won’t be able to make training: as small matter of the Calcutta Cup has distracted me this weekend, so you will be in the hands of Mark, Percy, Barry, et al.

As usual, registration will take place at 11.15hrs and then training will take place from 11.30hrs to 12.30hrs on the pitch, or in the hall, so please ensure the Players have appropriate clothing and footwear for both options.

Some of you may have seen that the Club were successful in being awarded £45,000.00 through the Scottish Rugby Union and Sportscotland as an 80% contribution to carry out essential drainage works and the installation of floodlighting to Pitch 3, which will become a dedicated Youth Training Area and enable us to extend our dark nights training and expand new sports within the Club/Hub. The works will take place during the closed season and will provide a significant contribution to the Youth Section – YOU!

Each age group will be tasked to raise £1,500 – £2,000, which is as reasonable as it is achievable, however, we are entirely reliant on you to help and make this happen. If you have any fundraising ideas, or wish to step forward to assist with this, please let me and Percy know.

Yours in Rugby,

Jon Jewitt
