Micros Return to Training Sunday 27th August 2017 –…

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you have enjoyed your summer break and are looking forward to the return to training at Whitecraigs. We have our Registration Day on Sunday 27th August 2017, starting at the earlier time of 11.00hrs to accommodate those who need to register – the cost is £10.00 a month by standing order, or a lump sum £120.00. We’ll finish at the usual time of 12.30hrs. Remember, juice, rain jackets, boots and trainers to be prepared for the Scottish Summer! If you’re already registered and pay by standing order, all you need to do is to turn up and take part.

Things will be a bit awkward to start with at West Lodge as you’ll see the works to Pitch 3 is putting pressure on the space available for training. Pitch 3 should be back in action by October this year, however, for the time being we’ll have to put up with the inconvenience. We may have to bring training forward by half an hour to help with the use of the pitches until 3 becomes available for the other age groups again.

As ever, I’m going to appeal for volunteers as we’re a Club that is run by volunteers. There’s no major commitment, just give what time you have. I’m going to appeal specifically to the Mums out there to come and help so that we can send a positive message about female inclusion in the Game. We’ve already started the “Pink Panthers” female rugby touch rugby team (19.30hrs training on a Wednesday evening), so hopefully this participation will cascade throughout the age groups and Whitecraigs can field a full compliment of Women’s rugby.

I will ask our kit provider, PSL Sports to come along on the day so that new kit can be bought. Remember too that we do a kit exchange for those who have outgrown their old kit – and it raises funds for the Club.

I look forward to seeing you all on the 27th August 2017, 11.00hrs. All welcome!

Yours in rugby,

Jon Jewitt

President and Micros Coach.

P1-3 Micros Returns to Training Sunday 20th August 2017

Hi Folks,

So that’s it for Season 2016-17, where we hope you enjoyed participating with the Micros over the year. The Fun Day signifies the end of the season, but remember, there are summer camps, the Beer Festival, Lions games and plenty more reasons to come to the Club over the summer.

I have a lot of medals and certificates for the players who couldn’t make the Fun Day, which was brilliant. Sadly my team didn’t win, but there’s always next year. I’ll keep these for you when you return in August, or contact me and I’ll leave them in an envelope behind the bar for collection..

I hope you have a great summer and look forward to returning to training on Sunday 20th August 2017, Registration Day.

Yours in rugby,

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.
