UPDATE: HELP4HEROS DAY 24th APRIL 2010 @ BANCROFT RFC

andyP | April 22nd, 2010 | Comments Off

PLEASE ARRIVE AT 1.45PM

Further to my post last week apologies but there have been changes throughout the week that have caused us to change our plans.
The major change is that the 1st XV at the club are through to the playoff for promotion and are hosting Stowmarket and this is scheduled to kick off at 2.30pm . A great opportunity to watch the 1st XV at home in a competitive match.
We have taken the decision to do our small pre school rugby for children demonstration prior to the kick off of this match at around 2.10pm .
The club are hoping that the Police Helicopter will be arriving around 2pm.

Given all of this please feel free to join us from around 1.45pm in order that we can see the numbers we have.
We do also need a few more volunteers to man the Bouncy Castle, thank you to those who have already volunteered but it would be nice to have a few more to limit the amount of time spent on the Castle !
Following the first team match there will be another freindly match followed by a live band in the bar later.
Would appreciate advising us if you can help out (if you have not already done so)
Any problems please let me know.
Regards
Andy

CENTRE RELOCATION – VERY IMPORTANT

andyP | April 16th, 2010 | Comments Off

With effect from Sunday 18th April 2010 we shall be relocating our Woodford Green centre to Bancroft Rugby Club, Buckhurst Way, Buckhurst Hill, Essex, IG9 6JD.

The times of all classes will remain the same.

We apologise for the short notice but we have been experiencing problems with hall availability at Bancroft School on Sunday mornings despite a regular booking with them. We have therefore made the decision to relocate to Bancroft Rugby Club where we currently receive a fantastic service for our Saturday classes.

This also follows our vision for the children to progress into a Rugby club where hopefully you will all experience many years enjoyment in the game of rugby.

We hope that this will not cause you too much inconvenience and look forward to seeing you at the new venue on Sunday.

HELP4HEROES CHARITY DAY AT BANCROFT RFC ON SATURDAY 24th APRIL 2010

andyP | April 16th, 2010 | Comments Off

On Saturday 24th April 2010, Bancroft Rugby Club will be hosting their annual “Help4Heroes” Charity Day.

The day comprises of 2 rugby matches, one of which is against an Army Air Corps XV, a RUGGERBUGS demonstration as well as hopefully visits from the Police and Air Ambulance Helicopters and Loughton Fire Service (subject to call outs). Hog Roast, Bar and Bouncy Castle plus live band.

Last Year’s event was a huge success and a great day was had by all. If you would like to support this event the fun starts from 1pm.

All BEETLES (4+years) are invited to join us on the First Team Pitch for a demonstration of what we do. Please let us know if you would like to participate in this demonstration and we will confirm the start time for this event.

We also need some willing volounteers to man the Bouncy castle! Please let us know if you can spare around 20mins during the afternoon to ensure the children are safe on the bouncy Castle ! Obviously the more volunteers the less time we would need to spend attending it !

If you have any questions, queries or concerns with regards to any of the above please do not hesitate to contact us.
