PAID YOUR SUBS?
LOOKED AT RFU PERSONAL DISABILITY COVER?
CONTEMPLATING PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE?
What if you could not work tomorrow due to illness or injury and
the NHS had a waiting list?
What if you needed early specialist care?
Alternate therapies? Dental care? Psychiatric cover (not an
issue - we are a rugby club!)
Just want to "go private" to beat the queues? Makes sense for
the self employed.
Then please contact Anthony Wood at Health-on-Line. Tel: 01202
544 316 (office hours or leave message).

decide to proceed.

Gents,
£3000 OR MORE IS MISSING
FROM SWF RUFC ACCOUNTS!
Last season we as a club lost income by way of some £3000 because not
all players paid their annual membership and match fees. Clearly not
a position that we can afford or tolerate. Our thanks firstly to
those who did pay their dues last season on time or by standing
order.
Non payment is not fair to those who have paid nor to others in the club
by way of juniors, youth, ladies and non playing members whose
membership and subs have been paid correctly. It is not for some of
you to enjoy your rugby at the expense of others.
The committee appreciate that there may be a few cases of real hardship
but in the main it is you chaps who are not responding to requests
for payments from the committee, the membership secretary – Roy
Higgs or team captains. You know who you are. Do we as a club
publicise your failing? We might!
You should be aware that by paying your membership you ensure that you
benefit from the insurance arrangements of the RFU and you also join
the RSSP hence are able to enjoy the clubhouse and bar.
Some may ask where does our money go? We can tell you that each home
senior fixture alone, including meal and referee, costs the club
around £130. Pitch hire costs went up 5% this year! In addition we
have in recent years introduced better (and paid) coaching for
seniors, a physio, new scrummaging kit, flood lights and training
pitches over at WdF school. All these cost money and without the
support of our sponsors, the VP's and the RSSP we would be in
serious financial difficulty.
The situation must change so if any player has not signed up to the
payment via the bank (£204 at 12 x £17), paid cash or cheque for the
full season (£170) or committed to payment by paying the membership
element at £50 and then agreeing to pay match fees (£10) on the day
of the fixture then that player will have no RFU insurance
protection and will be barred from the use of the clubhouse and bar.
Your Captain may select you - but the RSSP will not, because it
is a members only club, serve or welcome you.
Membership and subs for
2009-10 are to be as follows:-
a) payment by cash or cheque pre 01 September 2009, remains at £170 for
the season - includes RSSP membership, match subs and SWF RUFC
membership. Registration day- Saturday 15 August at midday.
b) completion of a standing order or direct debit by same date with
staggered payments totalling £204
c) for the infrequent/occasional second, third or vet team players,
payment of membership dues alone by cash or cheque in sum of £50
before 01 September 2009 and a commitment that match fees will be
paid in advance at £10 per match. Pay before you play!
RSSP/club membership cards are being produced which will show that a
player has complied with the above. Team captains/administrators are
to be provided with team sheets for completion and return to Roy
Higgs each week with any individual match fees recorded as received.
Those who have still not yet paid up fully for the 2008-9 season will be
receiving a word from the committee unless payment of monies long
overdue is with Roy Higgs by 15 August 2009.
Bona fide students remain at 50% of above. Colts will stay as youth
members until their 19th birthdays.
Regards,
The Committee

Law Amendments 2009
The International Rugby Board (iRB)
Council has ratified recommendations made by the iRB Rugby Committee
and approved 10 of the 13 global Experimental Law Variations (ELVs)
for adoption into the Laws of the Game. The recommendations were
unanimously approved and the integrated set of Laws is to be
implemented globally from 23rd May 2009 or from the start
of the next domestic season where competitions transcend the
implementation date. The new Laws will apply to all domestic
rugby in England with effect from 1st June 2009. By
this time, all domestic competition, including the County
Championship, will have concluded.
In addition to the suite of global
ELVs, three Union-specific ELVs were also approved for integration
into Law. These include the ability for a Union to implement a
maximum 15-minute half time in matches under its jurisdiction.
As a consequence, the 2009 Law
