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.
