Paul Anchor Memorial Festival (Emerging Players)
20th
February 2011 The Havant RFC Paul Anchor Memorial (Emerging Players [B/C] Festival will take place on 20th February 2011. This Festival has been very successfully run at Havant at U11 & U12 for several years, and as per last year is being extended to cover all age-groups, from Under 7 to Under 12, for the 2009-2010 Season. As this is an emerging players festival please look at the requirements below and see if your squad can meet them. This will be an ideal opportunity to give your less talented players a day to remember. If you cannot field an entire team but could field half a squad then please let us know and we can mix two clubs together as a Barbarians type squad, this has worked well at previous events. The participating teams are divided into 2 leagues with the winners and runners-up in each league progressing onto the semi-finals and, if successful, on to a final. In a change to previous years, the 2008 festival will also feature a Plate competition at all age groups.
Requirements of Players Below are the criteria for players attending the Emerging Players (B/C) Festival, please abide by them, the festival is for ‘emerging players’ to develop in a safe rugby environment.
The success of this Festival depends on all participating team entering in the spirit of the event.
As in previous years, all Festival information will be published on the Havant Festivals website. As you can see the site (at www.festivals.havant-rfc-mj.co.uk/ ) has all the information that participating teams might need, including Festival Rules, team Registration sheets, and directions and contact information. After the festival all the results will be posted on this site and on www.havant-rfc-mj.co.uk
Havant RFC is proud to invite you to our festivals. Please download an application form, which has full details. Due to the enormous popularity of these events, we would urge you to ensure your application form reaches us by the deadline of 31 December. Applications submitted after this date will still be considered if there are spaces remaining. Usually, the events are oversubscribed. Unfortunately, there is limited pitch space and in these circumstances we have to decline some applications. We are sorry this is the case but apply consistent criteria to make sure this is done on a fair basis. We will usually give priority to touring teams, as they plan a whole tour around the festival. After this, we will give higher priority to clubs whose applications we were unable to accept in the previous year, and lower priority to clubs who failed to attend previous festivals. Because some touring clubs and others do not enter teams in each age group, the number of spaces available for other clubs may vary across the different age groups. For this reason, a club hoping to enter teams in each age group may be given places for only a limited number. Again, this is regrettable but it is preferable to a blanket refusal, which would be the only alternative. If you would like to more information please contact Brian Martin at brian.mel@ntlworld.com We look forward to welcoming you to our club again soon.
