GET INVOLVED!

On 6 & 7 October, the North Hertfordshire Voluntary Sector Fair ("GET INVOLVED!") is at the Plinston Hall. This event is for charities and clubs to present what they do to the public to attract volunteers or new players to their organisation.Letchworth Rugby Club Girls Section will be on stand no. 15 in Plinston Hall and the main club stand is directly opposite us. We will be using the display we put up at the RFU presentation evening and, hopefully, we'll be showing the promotion video as well. Our main objective is to encourage more girls to play rugby at Letchworth so that the future of the teams in all age bands is secured.

Although the stand will be set up and run by one or more of the Alcocks, we would very much appreciate some help from players in both age groups who could be on the stand during the days to tell potential new players all about the girls' teams at Letchworth (somehow, I think that discussing the club/game with girl players is much more likely to persuade them to join us than if they talked to a BOG (Boring Old Git) like me!!). Also, if the same people are on the stand all day they may become, shall we say, a little jaded by the end of the proceedings so I would much rather have more people helping for say an hour, or two, each.

Obviously, we need to have people on the stand at all times (10am to 5pm on Saturday 6th/midday to 4pm on Sunday 7th) but it is only fair to point out that there are World Cup quarter-finals at 2pm on both days (involving the winners (Sunday) and runners-up (Saturday) from England's group!).

So if you can help on the stand for an hour or two, please let Mike know when you are available and he will then draw up a rota.
