Awards Day is coming - 21st May

Although our season goes on to the middle of May (or even the end of May for the U17s) the rest of the club effectively finishes at the end of this month. So thoughts are turning (indeed in most part of the club have already turned) to the Club Awards Day on 21st May (the Sunday after Herts Sevens).

So - first - we need all last year's trophies back by Good Friday from last year's winners!

We also need to think - very quickly - about this years winners. Because of the lack of time - made worse by Easter (whcih means some people would miss out on expresing their opinions) - Rachel, Joe and I will be be deciding the two of the awards between us (rather than voting as last season) - ie. Player of the Year (2004/5 winners being Nim and Hayley) and Most Improved Player (last season Jade Randfield and Nikki Alcock).

But you all need to be thinking about your Player's Player award. This goes the the person who has made the greatest contribution to your team - not necessarily the one who scores all the tries, but the person who most makes playing for the team..., well fun! Last year the winners were Ruby Sharp (U14s) and Katie Alcock (U17s).

The main thing is that we need to get the winner's names to Dave Sharp by 7th May... so that is not long!

The day itself will also include the stalls and side shows of last year, but in addition - instead of the Coaches vs Parents game - will feature a mixed-age tag competition. Details have yet to be ironed out, but the idea is that there will be several teams of six made up of three adults (parents or coaches) and three juniors taking part in a knock-out competition throughout the day.

More information will be posted as it appears.
