Aylesbury festival: change of date

The Aylesbury Festival - which was to be on 13th May and therefore clashed with both Herts Youth Games and the National 10s finals has now been moved to the previous day - Saturday 12th May.

As a result we can now enter the event with some confidence (especially over things like transport!). Potentially it would mean that U17s might have two games/tournaments in two days (if we win at Aylestone on 29th) - but that problem is eased because of a change in format at Aylesbury.

Because the Aylesbury festival will now be a Sevens - and therefore a great warm-up for the Herts and National sevens the following weekends.

This also makes it easier for the U14s are more likely to be able to enter a team.

Because of the change of date Aylesbury cannot yet confirm that the event will take place as they have to find out whether all the other sides who were down to play on the 13th can now make the 12th - but hopefully it'll be okay.

In the meanwhile can you check you diaries? We rarely play on Saturdays so I do not know how many of you are "otherwise engaged" on that day of the week.
