Women's rugby magazine to be launched

A new attempt is being made to launch an independent women's rugby magazine. Its not a new idea - there were similar announcements last year but nothing eventually came of it. However, Susan Hughes, director of the imaginatively titled "Women's Rugby Magazine", tells me that they already have the backing of Paul Morgan from Rugby World, and have already secured interviews with the likes of Donna Kennedy, Hertfordshire's own Michaela Staniford, and Rochelle Clark. 

The intention is that the online magazine will incorporate information from grass roots right through to international level, and in advance of an anticipated September launch Susan is looking for "any pictures or info, funny stories etc that you would like to submit" (bit difficult to know where to begin on that one, Susan!). The magazine will appear monthly, with an annual subscription fee of about £12.

So if you fancy launching a career in journalism, or have any comments, suggestions, ideas, or photographs that you think might be useful or interesting then Susan will be delighted to hear from you. Contact her at womensrugbymagazine@live.co.uk.
