Hi

Four things today

First thank you to those who have made or offerred donations of time, money or cakes (for the cake stall) to help Jack Fishwick. As mentioned last week Jack is a player with our first XV and has sadly suffered an horrendous neck injury in a match this season, leaving him paralysed. We are trying to raise money for him either via donations and via the inaugural Fishwick 7's festival on 26 July. It is not too late to help. Donations to me (payable to WMRFC and sent to 12 The Moat, New Malden, Surrey KT3 4SB) and offers of help to me by email.

Secondly, if your boy needs to burn off energy during the long summer break, then sign him up to the Harlequins rugby camp at Wimbledon RFC, Barham Road, SW20 from Monday 28 July to Wednesday 30 July 2014. You can find more info or book at: www.quins.co.uk/community

Thirdly, if you boy needs to burn of energy during the long summer break, why not try the Park Run on a Saturday morning. It is free and involves a 5km run starting at 9am every Saturday. Edward and I do the Richmond park run starting at Richmond gate and I believe Benjie and sometimes others do the Wimbledon Common park run starting at the Wimbledon Windmill. Parents are welcome to join in. It was good to see Lennie and Luca doing it last weekend. Register at parkrun.org.uk

Fourthly, For many years Martin Rogers (outgoing U18 mgr) has been captain in charge of our website. He has been fantastic in keeping it going, but needs to give up the role. We need someone new. In the initial instance we need someone who knows and works with Drupal, a web design language. Our website is written in an old version of Drupal, but needs to be rolled over to the newest version. It's not an onerous task I believe, but we still need someone to do it. Moving forward, we need someone to do intermittent maintenance. Richard Castle our captain of communications deals with content. If you can help please email me

Thanks

Dave
