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.

SCRUMS Registration – DEADLINE EXTENDED

25/10/2018

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.
