With reference to the Under 15s tour in
season 2011- 2012 there have been the
following changes. These are due to the
potential clash with Year 10 exams at Eirias
School, the February school half term
holidays, where some members of the squad
would not be available due to school
activities and parental holiday bookings.
The Under 15s team in 2011-2012 will now be
touring Ireland between Friday 4th
February 2012 and Monday 7th
February 2012 and we are endeavouring to
take in the IRB Six Nations Match between
Ireland and Wales ticket allocation
permitting.
We are intending to Tour Italy in Year 2013
and this will be followed by a tour to
England in Year 2014 when by then we will
have achieved our objective of touring in
the host country and seeing the IRB Six
Nations games
This is of course subject to getting the
funds raised and for those eligible to go on
tour the fund raising starts now and the
first payment will be due on the 30th
September 2011 in the sum of circa £125.00
and we will be using Tours4 Ltd as per the
French tour.

International invitation will go to France.

Sunday 27th March 2011 First Hydro Co
Sponsored Tournament Request for parental
assistance
The Under 14s have been very fortunate
enough to be sponsored by First Hydro Co in
what is the tournament sixth year with a
generous corporate donation. This year to
accommodate more Rugby local rugby clubs the
amount of clubs participating has been
increased to 6 in addition to the
traditional touring side Linlithgow from
Scotland and CBRFC as hosts making 8 teams
comprising of 21 players. There will be over
160 children taking part plus coaches,
supporters it will be a very busy day and a
day where we can raise substantial funds for
our team tours and for the junior section at
large. Whilst all the rugby matters has
been taking care of e.g. refereeing, playing
format, scoring, etc we need assistance in
the following areas:
Raffle and Raffle Prizes
Caroline Roberts (George Roberts mother) has
kindly offered to do a raffle and any prizes
for this would be gratefully received as
would selling tickets. If you can assist
please let Caroline know directly.
Kitchen Rotas
Mandy Lumby has kindly offered to supervise
the kitchen however help is needed as this
is the Under 14s day we need to be there on
mass to support this event. We need to be
able to supply two parents to work on the
kitchen rota as follows for one hour spells:
08.30 to 09.30,09.30 to 10.30,11.30 to
12.30, 12.30 to 13.30, 13.30 to 14.30 and
14.30 to 15.00
On the basis that we have 27 children and
potentially 54 parents or guardians this
should be easily achievable. If you have not
undertaken your turn in the kitchen this
year or you did it last season then now is
the time to volunteer. The sales from the
food will go straight to the junior section
and let the tour manager know what hour you
can cover.
Cake and Sweet stall
An idea has been out forward to sell cakes
and sweets on the day where all funds will
go to our tours. This will be an excellent
fund raiser and we need somebody to come
forward and take ownership of this idea and
arrange the stall, umbrella/gazebo, and get
the cakes handed in.
Tour Meeting of the 15th March
2011.
The France tour meeting is still on for this

the team it takes very little effort and the

Tour Fund Raiser “ Call My Bluff” Wine
Tasting Evening
Many thanks to all the Under 14s parents and
sponsors who assisted in making the Wine
Tasting Evening on Friday 11th
February 2011 such an outstanding success.
For those who were not there this involves
playing Call my Bluff in teams of four,
using Wine not words. To add to the rugby
spirit many of the wines came from the IRB
Six Nations rugby nations as part of the Six
Nations season. The wining team were the
Rawicikis from Food Glorious Food (who also
supplied a magnificent buffet) who got 7 out
of 11 wines and questions correct. An
excellent night was had by all and the a the
end of the night this function had raised
over £1,600 net of all expenses for
the Under 14s tour to France.
Tour Costs Parental Input
At the CBRFC Junior Committee meeting on the
7th February 2011 the costs of
tours was put on the agenda for discussion.
It was proposed that the maximum cost of the
tour in future years should be capped at
about £175.00 per player so that financial
cost should never prohibit any player going
on tour and avoid club subvention. It was
also suggested that we should revaluate if
team tours to European locations are really
needed at ages to 14,15,and 16. As such
would you please see the Team Manager and
let me your opinions of the following
either verbally or by email:
1. Do
you wish to return to a tour cost of £175.00
which would be two day, UK based, and not
take in the Six Nations IRB matches.
2. Or
do you wish to stay with our current plans
of 3/4 day tours to all the IRB Six Nations
Countries i.e. Italy in 2012,England in
2013,and Germany in 2014 as a youth team at
a cost of say £350.00 per player. This would
be with the team and the parents undertaking
its own fund raising to fund the tour (as we
currently do) so as to avoid any call on the
club for player subvention unless absolutely
necessary.
Parents/Guardians please advise your
position within the next 14 days to the Team
Manager so that I can feedback to the junior
committee at the next meeting.

Sevens Schools/Club tournament and the

Laws of Sevens, and develop the skills
associated with the sevens game. Once we

have a separate training for those 12
players maybe Saturday morning so that we
can improve on last year where we done very
well and got to the semi finals against very

always take them off if you are too hot),
trainer trousers, etc.
Whilst on the 3G pitch our training will
focus on concentrate on
fitness issues, drills /exercises that keeps
everyone moving throughout e.g. ball handing
drills will be in smaller groups. We will
also do technical aspects of scrums/line

avoid any injuries on the surface.

“Christmas VIP Ruck”
Calling ALL parents and supporters and
players of the Colwyn Bay Under 14’s Junior
Rugby Team.
Planning is under way for a Christmas party
to take place on the evening of Thursday 16th,
December 2010 at the rugby club between
7.30pm and 10.00pm. The evening will include
a “disco”, raffle and a few games (yet to be
decided).
Tickets will be going on sale soon; each
ticket will include entry and a free “soft”
drink on arrival. Partygoers will be able to
purchase food and soft drinks during the
evening.
The price of each ticket will be £2.50.
Team members will be able to purchase
further tickets i.e. for friends etc;
however these will only be open to year 9/8
children. Tickets will all be sold in
advance and carefully monitored so as to
fall in with the regulations of the club.
NO tickets will be sold at the door.
The event is being organised predominately
as a Christmas party for the members of the
team however there is an excellent
opportunity to raise some funds towards the
trip to France 2011.
Events of this type “always” require the
support of the parents. It is with this in
mind that ALL parents are asked to lend
their support either on the evening or just
by simply offering items that could be used
as a raffle prize etc.
The offer of prizes it should be stressed
should not be of an expensive nature but
more of a cheap and cheerful option. As an
idea for such raffle prizes, items such as
unwanted “soap on a rope” or “hideous socks”
that will never be worn, will more than
suffice.
In fact the quirkier the better!
Alternatively parents/supporters can offer
to supply food for the evening, a suggestion
of one savoury and one sweet would greatly
assist. The savoury/sweet dish should be
ideally not require heating up as the use of
the kitchens, whilst not a big issue,
requires the attendance of a suitably
trained member of the club.
If food is to be offered then can those
offering please make this known to the
organisers at the earliest opportunity so as
it is known what is and isn’t available for
the evening.
The event is still being planned and the
inclusion of any parents or supporters
wishing to involve themselves with this
event are more than welcome - please get
involved we want this to be fun!!
Any further ideas will be greatly
appreciated.
