CHRISTMAS PARTY
18 December 2011
Sittingbourne Rugby Team Mini/Midi’s on
Sunday 18th December was training as usual followed by a special
visit from Santa, all the way from Lapland. Pictures are here.
Approximately 60 children aged 6-11, trained
at the Gore Court Cricket Club for training as normal on Sunday,
followed by sausage, chips, beans and crackers! The children listened
to Christmas music and were singing and dancing along. Then Santa
made a special pre-Christmas visit to Sittingbourne Rugby Club,
where each child in turn had a special wish for him. The children
were full of fun and laughter. Special thanks to Kate Ritchie
for all the organising and parents of the club for helping make
the kids have a special time. Wishing everyone at Sittingbourne
Rugby Club a very special Christmas and very best wishes for the
New Year.

SUBSCRIPTIONS AND REGISTRATION
For the 2011/12 season we are maintaining subscriptions
at their previous level - AGAIN!! However, we are removing the
option of weekly payments as these are proving more and more difficult
to collect on a regular basis.
Subscriptions are £40 for the season (32
weeks) or £20 for a half season (Sept-Dec and Jan-Apr).
Subscriptions can be paid by Standing Order in 4 x £10 payments,
but this must be in place by 31 October 2011.
The subscriptions are our main source of income.
They fund purchase of coaching and playing equipment including
match shirts, training of coaches in coaching, refereeing, First
Aid, etc., entrance to tournaments, presentation awards and the
many other activities that are vital for continued running af
a successful club. As such the subscription is amazingly good
value.
Players must also register as members of Gore
Court Cricket Club and membership fees have been increased only
slightly since last year.
Full details of subs and registration can be
found on the Registration page.
