Thanks to all who have registered so far in SCRUMS -  the deadline has been extended by 2 weeks until Wednesday 14th November 2018.

To keep in line with the new GDPR regulations, any person not registered by the deadline above, whose details were transferred over from the old data management system, will be deleted from SCRUMS. If this occurs, player history data will be lost and the individual will need to register as a new player.

From 15th November 2018 onwards, any player who is not registered in SCRUMS will not be eligible to take part in National Competitions and must not play until their registration is complete.

Registration of players not only allows for their participation in national competitions and selection on teamsheets, it also means that serious injury reports can be submitted through the new portal on SCRUMS and allows any players who have been cleared to play senior rugby to be correctly recorded. For these reasons, it is therefore vital that registration in SCRUMS takes place in the coming days.

Please share this message with parents and guardians who are required to register players under the age of 18.

For further info, please contact Olga Burton, or the SCRUMS team at scrums@sru.org.uk.

The Senior, Junior and Social membership forms have been updated for the new season. You can complete them online or download & print them at home.
​
If you are completing a paper form, please ensure it says “Valid from August 2018" at the bottom. Older forms are obsolete and should be discarded.
Karen Brough is the new Junior & Social Membership convenor & her contact details along with Steven Bruce (Senior Memberships) & Olga Burton (Treasurer) can be found on the relevant forms or the club's Contacts Page.
​​
​Players / parents are reminded that they must also complete a SCRUMS registration in addition to completing a membership form.
Only paid up members of Orkney RFC who are SCRUMS registered will be able to play rugby this season.

Olga will be at the club tomorrow, 18th August during the Doddie Gump Fundraiser to help with any membership or SCRUMS enquiries.

In addition to the 5K walk, there will be Rugby, BBQ, Bouncy Castle & home bakes - so get along to the club from 12:30 for a great day out and get yourself & kids sorted for the upcoming season!

Scottish Rugby have introduced a new player registration system called SCRUMS.
We are asking that all players are registered on the new system as soon as possible using the links below:

• ALL PLAYERS must be registered with Orkney RFC before the start of the season
• SENIOR Players are responsible for their own registration
• PARENTS (or Guardians) are responsible for registering YOUTH Players aged 8 & over
• If you were registered on the previous system, you must still confirm your registration on the new one
• You will be sent a verification email upon registration - check your spam email box if you don't get it
• The club cannot register players on the system
• Failure to register means you will not be able to play rugby until you have done so
• Ensure your Club Membership is up to date - details here
