Training

Season 2010 -2011

The new season has kicked-in with the return of training.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at Barnton 6:30pm start.

The new season fixtures are available to view or print by clicking here.

We have a challenging start to the season with the early games:

• 28 August - Garnock- Away
• 04 September - Greenock Wandies - Home
• 11 September - Langholm - Away

This being the new Season also means renewal of subscriptions and this year there will be a new system of Subscription Management in place.

This is needed to allow the club to implement and control the registration of players under the SRUs new Player Registration System.

You must be registered to be a playing member of the club.....no registration ....no play!

The club now offers two ways to pay either ....all-in-one by cash or check or by standing order over eight months...no rainchecks or manjana.

The new subscription letter is available by clicking here.

The standing order forms are available here for Full Subs
and here for Students & Retired Members.

Alan Wardrop has asked that we mention this years SPREE books. The deal is £22.00 per book(cheques payable to Spree Ltd). There are vouchers to the value of £4500.00 this year. These are available from behind both clubhouse bars and must be paid for at the time of collection.

Get Well Soon

Euan Rae... long standing member (?) and our Club Treasurer has recently been in hospital.

Apparently his largest organ was not getting enough blood flow and he had to go in to have a couple of stents fitted so that it could become even more engorged than it currently is.....(oh er missus!)

Seriously though we wish Euan a speedy recovery and hope to see him down at the early season games giving us the benefit of his vast rugby 3rd XV experience.
