Coaching & Refereeing Clinics

Andy Dixon, the BRFU Development Officer will be holding a series of coaching and refereeing clinics for all clubs in a few weeks time. All clubs are expected to send representatives and most have already registered quite good numbers. Those who complete these courses will gain the BRFU Level 1 coaching/refereeing certificate.

If you have not yet registered and wish to do so, please inform your captain or chairman who will ensure that your naume is passed forward to the DO. Click here for more information.

Baillou Superbowl Party

Baillou RFC will be hosting a Superbowl party at Winton Rugby Centre on Sunday, February 1st. All players and friends of rugby are invited to attend. More details will be forthcoming in next week's newsletter.
