Brian Patterson will co-ordinate pitch inspections and decide on
cancellations in the event of bad weather.
Even if a match is cancelled some kind of team practice session will

Physiotherapy
The Club pays for a Chartered
Physiotherapist to attend all matches so would Team Managers please liaise
directly with Andrew Seary to ensure cover prior to
the week end’s fixtures.
Match Results & Reports
The Team Managers is
responsible for recording all scores and scorers and recommended that Team
Managers appoint a parent to compile match reports.
Team Managers should also
copy their results to the Webmaster (see above). Please make use of the website to post team
photos, news items, match reports – all contributions most welcome.
Food
The Club provides an after
match meal for both visitors and home teams after official matches. Please ensure that Claire the Club Steward is
given adequate notice of fixtures and likely food requirements plus any changes
or cancellations.
Food can be purchased after
training in the bar.
Equipment
Each Coach is responsible for
his team’s training equipment (balls, cones etc) and match day water
bottles. Coaches must ensure that
floodlights are turned off if not in use and that tackle bags etc are locked
away in the storage container.
Code of Conduct
The Club adheres to the WRU
Code of Conduct which covers Players, Parents, Spectators and Coaches. Extracts of the Code are displayed around the
Club and a full copy is kept behind the bar.
Everyone is encouraged to abide not only by the letter but also the
spirit of the Code which will be actively enforced by all Club Officers.
Expenditure
Before agreeing to commit the
Club to any expenditure it must first be authorised by the Club Treasurer.
Committee Meetings
The Youth and Junior Sub
Committee meets once a month to review team performances and discuss matters
pertaining to the successful operation of the Teams. The Sub Committee comprises each Team Manager
and Team Coaches plus the CRICC and Fixture Co-ordinators and Chairman.
Each of the Youth/Junior
sides will encourage parental support for regular functions to help to make
them a success. This in turn will help
generate Club spirit (and funds) that will make our involvement even more
enjoyable.
Tours
The Club wishes to encourage
all teams to go on tours however any proposal must be cleared by the Club
before binding commitments are entered into.
All tours outside
Dress
The Club wishes enforce a
dress code for all players after matches to try and promote team identity. Individual Team Managers can choose between
Club polo shirts for the youngest side or blue Club dress shirts plus dark
trousers and shoes (as opposed to jeans and trainers).
After Match
All Players, Supporters and
Parents are asked to remain in the Club (home or away) for at least 45 minutes
after the match ends. This will help
generate the kind of atmosphere and camaraderie that differentiates rugby from
other games. For away matches we would
also expect all Players, Supporters and Spectators to show the same courtesy to
our hosts as we would expect from them.
Club Membership
All Parents and Supporters of
the Youth and Junior teams are urged to become Social Members of the Club. This will help us to comply with the
Licensing Laws and will also ensure a greater sense of involvement and
interest. Fully paid up Members are
entitled to put their names forward for the International Match Ticket
Allocation and they can also book the Clubhouse for any private social function
without a booking fee. Members are also
entitled to vote at the Club AGM and can therefore influence Club policy on a
whole range of issues.
We want you to become part of
the Club and enjoy its facilities as well as supporting your particular teams.
Welsh Language
All minutes and documentation
will be made available in Welsh subject to the availability of translators.
