As we will be playing both GHA and Cartha for Southside honours it would be great to get as many of us there as possible.

Training on as usual on Wednesday at 7pm. Please remember drink and gumshield.
On Sunday we make the very short trip to GHA to play our hosts and Cartha in what we hope will become an annual event for the Southside teams. Kick off times are yet to be confirmed and I will update everyone once the details are confirmed.

Unfortunately I haven’t received any contact from Falkirk and reluctantly I think we have to prepare for a replacement training session. We’ll start at 11 on the pitches as usual. If the situation changes then I will let everyone know.
Apologies for any disappointment

Hi Folks,
Training will be as usual this Sunday with registration at 11.15hrs and then on the pitch, weather permitting, from 11.30hrs to 12.30hrs.
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. They are available from myself, Anne O’Donnell and Rachel Fishlock. We’re also looking for prize donations to raffle, so please help us if you can. I hope you can support us in a great cause to assist the installation of floodlighting and works to Pitch 3 to create a dedicated Youth Rugby Training Area.
I’ll see you all on Sunday.
Yours in rugby,
Jon Jewitt (07989 502 810)

Please get in touch if you can help fill this essential position at the Club.
Yours in rugby,

Good Afternoon from a reasonable day at West Lodge,
The final 1st XV match of the season takes place tomorrow at West Lodge against Peebles. It is a dead rubber but we want to finish the season with a win and thus the beer will taste better at the Club Dinner tomorrow night.
It has been a tough season for the 1st XV with a number of early season injuries testing our strength in depth to the fullest extent. BT National 2 is a extremely competitive league and will be so again next season. Cartha and Kelso were promoted with Ardrossan and Hillhead/Jordanhill being relegated. Hamilton and Howe of Fife are coming down from National 1 and Dumfries and Lasswade have been promoted from National 3.
Well done to coaches Stuart Henderson and Alex Edmonstone who together with capatain Ian Laidlaw held the team together throughout a nervy last couple of months. The players have much work to do over the next few months to get themselves fit, strong and get a good mental attitude for the challenges ahead. We need everyone pulling together as we cannot afford a slow start in September.
The 2nd XV after a challenging start rallied and made a respectable third place in the league. Thanks to Percy for his efforts and also to the players who were press ganged into playing and surprisingly enjoyed themselves.
Tomorrow the S1/S2 teams are doing car washing for funds for their Irish Tour.
On Sunday the Micros are back at 11.00am and the Minis entertain Cambuslang at 11.30
Also on Sunday the u15 team are playing in the semi-final of the West Plate v Marr at Fullarton with a 2pm kick off. Good Luck to them.
The sponsor this week in Glasgow South Dental Care – Glasgow South Dental Care is pleased to announce the opening of its new state-of-the-art ground floor premises located at 57 Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands. The Practice can now proudly accept patients who were unable to visit previously due to mobility or disability issues. Please call 0141 632 3557 for an appointment.”
There will be newsletters over the next few months informing you of upcoming events like the Beer Festival on the 17th June. There are a number of fundraising events for the upgrading and flood lights on pitch 3 and I would ask you to support these as every pound raised will make a difference and help to ensure the future of our Club.
One job needing filled is that of Child Protection Officer. The title is more daunting than the actual position. It is mainly a position that ensures that we have the correct systems in place to make sure we comply with current legislation and practices. The SRU have a dedicated department and run courses and have a raft of inforamtion to assist the Clubs to perform this vital role. If you have experience in this area or have the inclination to provide a valuable service for the Club, please contact Jon Jewitt or myself.
Have a great weekend.

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.
Yours in rugby,
