REMINDERS/NEW NEWS

Where are we heading? – an open forum on 8^th April – PLEASE COME ALONG!

Club Dinner – 10^th May – book your place NOW!

Come to Earlsdon and help us in our quest for the league championship!

Big game on telly on Sunday, and we are not talking Toulon v Leicester!

• No game last week for the first XV as we had dedicated it a “league free Saturday”. The game played at the club was our Barbarians v our Cavaliers and it ended in a 36 all draw (or thereabouts) – a regular score for the BaBa’s!

• This week the ones are away at Earlsdon in another must win league game. Earlsdon are currently lying in mid table with ten wins from their eighteen games and they will not make it easy for us. As before (and in the next three games) a win will do boys and a bonus point will indeed be a bonus. Why not come along and support the lads – they will really appreciate it. OL’s are playing at home to Leamington who will be desperate for a point or more to make them safe. If you cannot attend the Earlsdon game then you can follow it on Twitter. If you are not a KRFC/Twitter follower then simply log onto the KRFC site and hit the Twitter button – Ralph’s tweets will come through, hopefully with good news.

• The Colts are away at Broadstreet. Pinley 1’s have pulled out of the Cavaliers fixture as they have a league game to fulfill. Nuneaton Old Eds Vets have also pulled out of the third XV fixture. Both our teams are in the pool but do not hold out too much hope for a game.

• All games are now be 3pm kick offs.

• Next week, 13^th April, is our final home game of the season when Banbury are the visitors. OL’s are at home to Dunlop. The first XV game is preceded by a Former Players Lunch but if you wish to come you better be quick – it is a near sell out.

• The Club Dinner has been set for 10^th May, at the club with food provided by The Almanack. Full details are on the web site and up on the Club Notice Board.

• Please remember our Function Room is available for hire for a variety of purposes and full details are on the web site at http://www.kenilworthrugby.co.uk/about-krfc/facilities.html

• We are holding a WHERE ARE WE HEADING FORUM at the club on Monday 8^th April and full details of this are on the web site. Please come along and air your views on the future of the club. The q/aire has been completed by around 120 members so a good forum and meeting should ensue. Please come along, it would be good if you could do this and air your views.

• Please remember the AMAZON link on our web site and if you use this link then the club gets a small kickback on your purchase. It is located on the Home Page just below the league table on the RHS.

• This years KRFC M&J Festival is being held on the weekend of 27/28^th April. This is a superb weekend of rugby and fun and some social events are being planned around it. In addition the M&J’s are hosting a Leicester Tigers Rugby Course on the 28^th to 31^st May.

• Do not forget the quarter finals of the Heineken Cup this weekend and all of the games will be shown at the club. An added bonus on Sunday will be the Scottish Challenge Cup Final between Queen of the South and Partick Thistle, at the end of the Toulon v Leicester game!

• The last ELRA referee course of this season will be held at King Edward V1 school in Stratford-upon-Avon on Sundays, April 21st and 28th 2013 from 9 30 until 4 30pm. Funding for this course has been obtained from the Legacy Fund which means that delegates will have their £50 entrance fee reduced to just £15.
  It is important that this course is publicised widely and that proposed delegates register as soon as possible (and in any event by April 15th) on the RFU web site http://www.rfu.com/takingpart/olcb

• NEWS OF MEMBERS

• Hi everyone – a message from Charlie Travis’partner Ros

Julie and I have decided to tackle the Moon Walk, a marathon during the night of May 11th/12th, through the streets of London in aid of Breast Cancer Research.  We are doing this in the memory of our dear friend Jane, who lost her battle against breast cancer last year after a long and courageous fight.  We are also walking to celebrate our equally dear friend Kath, who, having survived over a year of arduous treatment, is now thankfully looking forward to a cancer free future. We are raising money for all the women who are still fighting this dreadful disease, so please, if you wish, donate on our Just Giving page as follows :

Thank you so much.
