Dear All

We have two further 7's tournaments taking place later this month before we finally close down for the season. Both should prove to be fantastic for the boys.

So could you let me know your sons availability for Sunday 25th May & Wednesday 28th May.

Information as I have it at present on the tournaments is as follows:

Sunday 25th May - This is a national 7's tournament with teams coming from all over the country.

The squad size is 12 players

The venue is Newbury RFC and you would need to arrive by 10.00am. Anyone who might have difficulty with transport to and from the tournament both Adam & Geoff have seats available in their cars and are quite happy to transport anyone. Just indicate when replying whether a lift is needed, one way or both ways.

There will be up to 5 games.

Due to the fact that the main rugby season has finished at the club we will be looking at players selected to contribute to the entrance fee for the tournament, which will be £7.50 per player. You can make payment on the day to Adam.

There will be food and drink available all day.

They are looking to play the finals between 4.00-5.00pm

It is worth noting that this is a senior tournament as well so there will be plenty to see and watch.

Wednesday 28th May - This is the finale of the Ultimate Rugby 7's coaching we have been taking part in at the club.

Anyone who has taken part in the Tuesday coaching sessions over the six weeks is eligible for selection. Could those who have had mates along pass this info onto them and let us know if they will be coming as well.

The tournament is taking place at The Stoop, Twickenham (Harlequins RFC)

I have less information on this but it is likely that the boys will get the opportunity to go around the Twickenham Rugby Museum in the morning followed by a tournament against other sides that have been taking part in the coaching initiative from all around London.

It is likely that the tournament itself will begin between 12.00-1.00pm and will finish between 4.00-5.00pm

There will be 4 games ( to be confirmed)

Each set of players will be coached for the day by an England 7's player.

There is no cost.

That's it for now, so if you could let me have availability ASAP that would be great!

Thanks
Dave
