2010-11 Senior & Youth Fixtures

The men's senior fixtures for the 2010-11 season are now available on the Fixtures/Match Reports page. There are still a few blanks to fill in (tbc) and your illustrious Fixtures Secretary is as ever working hard to fill up the remaining spaces. For youth fixtures, the bulk of fixtures/festivals & SDD have been arranged although respective age group Fixtures Secs/Coaches are still looking to fill in any blanks. For the U18s & U17s this is further complicated by Kent RFU not announcing league pool compsition until just before the cseason commences making it difficult to arrabnge fixtures within the county for thos e age groups. Senior & Youth Fixture cards will be amended as and when the relevant Fix Secs complete their "wheeling & dealing" to fill in the blanks!

WEBSITE UPDATES

Members are advised that over the course of the next month work will be ongoing by the team at Web HQ to update the club website. This work is being divided into work packages to allow appropriate “bite sized” chunks to be updated or added by the webmaster in a coordinated and prioritised manner.

Members are requested to bear with us during this process and all of the updates will be completed prior to the new season. Furthermore, if personnel are asked to make contributions to update the information on the site, they are requested to do so promptly in order not to delay the process.

29 June 10: Latest edition of Touchline Newsletter now available online

The 2009/10 end of season edition of the newsletter is now available online on the newsletter page of the website. As has previously been reported, it had been intended that both a printed version and the online version would run alongside each other for this season. However, a number of issues have contrived to create a circumstance where this edition was delayed; as a consequence the decision was taken to produce solely the online version to prevent further delay as we run into the build up to the 2010/11 season. The most visible and immediate benefit is that this and future editions are now available in full colour.

We hope you enjoy reading it and feedback and suggestions for future content would be gratefully received.
