Great weekend for UKCC Level 2 coaching course

17/2/2019

Thirteen ORFC coaches had a great weekend at the UKCC Level 2: Coaching Youth & Adult Rugby course with Sinclair Patience - Scottish Rugby's Caledonia North Regional Manager

Training on back pitches suspended until weather clears

10/2/2019

Morning folks. Just been to the Club at 8:30 and you’ll be glad to know that there is no water getting any where near the step at the containers.

However, I have cleared the grill at the culvert upstream from the Club and also the grate at the back of the Club as the ditch was overlapping. The brown water is now going where it is supposed to be going. An OIC man in a van turned up at 8:50 as I was heading away!

As a result of the poor state of the back pitch I would like to prohibit training on it for at least 24 to 48hrs from this point. It was very greasy in bits yesterday morning and it will be wrecked if folk go on it at this present time.
