A huge welcome to our guests this weekend: Wimbledon Warriors, KCS, Rosslyn Park, Esher, Warlingham, Dorking and Battersea Ironsides. Let's hope we get the weather we deserve...

Which leads nicely to a note about parking on Sunday... Even if the weather is kind to us, parking will be a challenge. If we can park on our pitches you should be fine to park on site - as long as you arrive by 9.15. Any later we would STRONGLY ADVISE YOU to park in one of the alternative locations on page 2 of our parking policy. If it's wet you'll be parking off-site. Please listen to instructions you are given.

Alternative parking locations

Given how narrow the roads are around the club please respect any instructions given by our parent-volunteer parking attendants. Anyone blocking access to homes or restricting ambulance access will be reported to the police.

Also at the clubhouse will be coffees, teas, hot chocolate, bacon butties and a BBQ, as well as a sweet stall, cake sale and raffle.

If you've not paid your subs yet then please do this Sunday at the clubhouse or online here.

Note there are changes this week...

Most importantly - this Sunday is the last chance to save on your annual subs. The early bird discount for registrations ends on Sunday night.

Full details about signing up for the season, here: http://wmrfc.co.uk/howtojoin.

Also, Akuma will be at the clubhouse THIS SUNDAY... so come and try on the kit and order directly from Akuma. You still need to pay either online or at the bar. Please specify it is for a kit order. Details about kit are here: http://wmrfc.co.uk/kit

There's also a chance Serious Stuff (the old kit suppliers) will be selling the remaining stock they have... NEXT Sunday, the 18th. We do not know if they are selling at a discount...

Pitch plan

What a cracking start to the season. Lots of enthusiasm from the kids AND with parents in early paying of their subs! Thanks to all of you who have paid already. Remember the last opportunity to benefit from the early bird subs prices is next Sunday - 11th September - they go up on 12th September. Easiest way is to pay online - go here for details.

KIT You might have noticed that the new kit suppliers - Akuma - didn't make it today. SNAFU. They WILL be here next Sunday, 11th September. So usual drill applies - turn up, try on, buy, - there won't be an easier chance to buy your kit this season.
