Training at Tiller Road Gym Tonight from 7:30pm

Folks,

Given the part of the lower paddock best covered by lights is still under snow and we need to maintain the paddock for the rest of the season, training will take place at Tiller Leisure Centre (Tiller Rd, London, E14 8PX) tonight at the usual time of 7:30pm.

Regards,

Millwall Player Success at Dubai 7's

Dubai 7s

Despite heavy snow cancelling the rugby in London, Millwall first team player James Reilly was involved in Rugby of the Sevens variety over in Dubai this weekend for the annual Dubai Sevens. He won the Invitational Open category with the Wooden Spoon Blues, a charity team for disabled and disadvantaged children.

The Wooden Spoon Blues were undefeated in Dubai and finished their group with 9 points. The team then went on to win their Quarter final and beat Susies Christina Noble 26-5 in the Semi final. The Wooden Spoon Blues then retained their title won last year by overcoming Pyrenees 7's 24 - 12 in the final on pitch one, in front of more than 35000 fans from around the world, including two Millwall players, Ceri Thomas and Mike Taylor.

Big congratulations to James and his team. More can be found out about the Wooden Spoon charity by clicking here

No touch rugby in December

There will be no Sunday touch rugby this week owing to the weather.

We anticipate that touch rugby will not run during December in view of other commitments people typically have at this time of year.

In January touch will recommence on 2nd or 9th January (to be confirmed) at the new earlier time of 2pm-3.30pm.

Club Captain Duties

As you'll be aware, the role of Club Captain is currently unfilled and the duties are currently being carried out by other members of the club committee. The committee met last Wednesday and discussed the best way to fill the role.

In view of the importance of the club captain role, and in the interests of openness and transparency it was decided that an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) would be held to elect a new Club Captain for the remainder of the season. It is intended to hold this meeting at the earliest possible opportunity in January. A notice to this effect will be issued by the Club Secretary, along with the nomination process in due course.

Anyone interested in the role, or with any questions about what's involved should get in touch with me as soon as possible to express their interest.

To give the committee much needed assistance covering the duties, Randall Powell has kindly agreed to step-in. At the committee meeting this week, Randall was appointed Interim Club Captain, responsible for carrying out the club captain's duties, until a Club Captain is formally elected at the EGM to be arranged. Randall will chair and vote on the weekly selection committee. In addition he will attend full committee and Excom meetings, albeit in a non-voting capacity, pending formal election of a new Club Captain.

We're delighted Randall has agreed to help out in this way, and hope you'll give him every assistance in running the playing side of the club.

No-pay, No play from 20th November - "Time's up" for Non-Members

Millwall Membership runs from May to the following May, designed to coincide with the dates of our Annual General Meetings (AGMs). As such all memberships became due for renewal six months ago.

In the interests of fairness to all the people who've now paid their membership for this season, if you are not a fully-paid up member, you will not be eligible for team selection from Saturday 20th November onwards.

The only exception to this will be for new playing members this season who are still taking advantage of our "4 match trial period".

If you're a continuing playing member, (that is, you played at least one game for Millwall or Venus Rugby last season), you need to make sure that you've paid the appropriate annual fee OR that you've been paying £20 a month continuously since May this year. Only new playing members this season are eligible to join the Monthly Regular Player Scheme (£20/month) part-way through the membership year. If you think you've missed any payments or there is any reason why you cannot afford to pay your membership, please contact Edna, our Treasurer at membership@millwallrugby.com.

If you were a social member last year, remember we operate a members-only bar so please renew your social membership now. We've re-activated the door system and you'll need a current membership card to open it. If you're not a paid-up member then another member must sign you in when you visit. If you're a regular face and we think you really should have paid by now, you might even have to "ring the bell" above the bar!

So come on ladies and gentlemen, senior and junior... support your club, make your committee's lives easier and pay your membership now.

Larry
Chairman
chairman@millwallrugby.com

Clubhouse Management

A few weeks ago, we wrote to club members inviting proposals from people interested in taking on the role of Clubhouse Manager. This very important role covers all aspects of running the clubhouse bar and facilities.

To date, we've received one formal proposal and this is currently being discussed by the club committee.

In the interests of openness, transparency and general good order we would like to invite anyone else in the club with an interest in the role to get in touch as soon as possible before a final decision is reached. It is expected that the committee will make a formal decision at the next meeting. The clubhouse is a major asset and the way we run it has an impact on you, our members. So in the best interests of the club, it is only right that we go through proper and due process to ensure that everyone interested in the role has had ample opportunity to come forward.

Until this final decision is made, Dawn Doherty has kindly agreed to give her time on a voluntary basis and step up to the challenge of managing the clubhouse operation. At yesterday's committee meeting, she was appointed "Interim" Clubhouse Manager until a formal decision can be made by the committee. She'll be supported by Kev, Rick and other willing volunteers. So a big thank you to Dawn "& Co". for agreeing to do this for us.

Remember, if you are interested in the Clubhouse Management role, please contact me (chairman@millwallrugby.com) before 30th November.

First Team Manager

Some of you may be aware that Carl Burnett has recently decided to stand down as First Team Manager.

I would like to thank Carl for the time and efforts he's put into the role this season. Carl is a valued member of the club and I'm sure we'll still see plenty of him down at the clubhouse and on the pitch.

Following a meeting of the club committee tonight, it was agreed to appoint Harland Sinclair (Cheese) as First Team Manager and to co-opt him onto the club committee. We're delighted to welcome him to the committee and we know he will bring plenty of experience to the role, having been First Team Manager a few years ago.  You can contact cheese at firstteammanager@millwallrugby.com.

A few England v Australia tickets - up for grabs

Following last Saturday's international ticket draw, after everyone who won has bought what they want to buy, we've still got a very limited number of tickets left for next week's England v Australia game at Twickenham.

These highly sought-after tickets are available on a first-come first served basis by emailing secretary@millwallrugby.com.

Please act quickly if you are interested, because we can't afford to waste any tickets as the club has already had to pay for them.

Dave
Secretary

Playing Doctors & Nurses

We're looking to boost first aid support across all teams at Millwall Rugby Club. 
We are looking for volunteers to attend a one-day rugby-specific, first-aid course and then provide first-aid assistance when required. Our aim is to have at least one qualified first aider at every game. 
 
Ideally we would like a mix of people (players and supporters) across all of the teams. Team managers and coaches will also all require first aid training.
 
Whether or not there is a charge for this course is still to be determined. 
 
If you are interested in getting involved, or if you are already qualified and would be willing to volunteer, please contact firstaid@millwallrugby.com to express your interest.

Once we have compiled a list of interested people we will confirm additional details and arrange a date for this training to take place (this is likely to be a Sunday at the clubhouse).

Are you available this weekend? ...and message about Thursday Training

Sadly we haven't had good responses this week so far to selection@millwallrugby.com and we do need more players to fill our fixtures this weekend.

If you have already emailed selection@millwallrugby.com this week, thank you, it is much appreciated. You do not need to email again.

If you have not yet responded to selection, can you please let us know where you stand with your availability for this weekend (30/10/10), even if you have already told a team manager personally. 

(Please note you do need to email selection@millwallrugby.com each week  in order to be selected to play).

And finally, reminder about training tomorrow night on the paddock, we have a forwards specialist coming down, please make the effort to come down and make sure you bring a mouth shield and anything else you think you may require for a session that will include some contact. Yes 'backs' you are needed in case your wondering.

See you all tomorrow.

Tuesday Training

In order to rest the paddock, Tuesday fitness training will move from the paddock to take place at a range of other venues in the local area

Coach Dave Roberts has plans to take the club for a range of alternative activities, ranging from general fitness on the park, to wrestling, boxing or even climbing at Mile End.

Unless advised otherwise, you should assume that training will be on Millwall Park on Tuesdays.  Meet outside the clubhouse for a 7.30pm start (although the clubhouse itself will not necessarily be open).  

Any change to this arrangement will be published via the club's "status" on Facebook and will also be included in the Monday (men's) selection email.

Try and get as many of your mates down to Tuesday and Thursday training as possible, regardless of whether they play 1st or 4th team, so that we can put out better teams at the weekends.  Venus Women are very welcome to attend Tuesday night training too, and it's a great way to start if you're new to the club.

Club Captain Changes

You may be aware that Paul Gossip has recently decided to step down from his role as Club Captain.

On behalf of the club I would like to thank Paul for all his efforts and valuable contribution to the club during the past season and a half.

While we explore possible options to fill the vacancy in the short term, I have asked David Leftley, Club Secretary to take on responsibility for ensuring the key Club Captain duties are covered in the immediate interim.

David has kindly agreed to do this for the next week or so and will be chairing the weekly selection meetings this week working closely with the team managers and coaching team to manage selection, training and other playing matters that arise. For the time being, any "CapCom" business will be dealt with as part of the usual "FullCom" business.

The Gaylord to Sponsor Millwall Rugby Club

PRESS RELEASE 20th October 2010

MILLWALL Rugby Club have struck a sponsorship deal for the 2010/11 season with a top Tandoori restaurant. The Gaylord, located close to Millwall's Island Gardens clubhouse, is already a popular haunt for players seeking to refuel on quality curry after matches. The deal sees the club receive a cash donation while members will enjoy a discount at the Manchester Road-based eatery. In return, The Gaylord will receive publicity via the club's websites, publications and at the clubhouse.

Millwall’s Development Officer Andrew Bates says the club is going from strength to strength having opened the new clubhouse last year in formerly derelict DLR arches. "We can now play adult rugby on Millwall Park and it has really helped us get the exposure and growth we need to make good use of the clubhouse," he said.

Mr Bates said the club's strong growth has seen playing costs rise sharply too, adding: "Members have had to cover these costs so it would be remiss of us not to approach generous and successful businesspeople such as Gaylord owner Abdul Gani."

Mr Gani said: "We are delighted to sponsor the rugby club. Their members order deliveries and come in a lot so we are now looking forward to seeing more of them."

The club hopes to increase the sponsorship it secures each year. "Given our location we attract a lot of City and Canary Wharf professionals, from partners and department heads through to younger contractors," said Mr Bates. "We've also a strong and growing youth programme in the Millwall Lions and parents are joining up too. We think the growing number of people we're signing up will prove attractive to willing sponsors, be they recruiters, car-hire firms or great restaurants like The Gaylord."

To discuss sponsoring the club, call Andrew Bates on 07798 732260, or email development@millwallrugby.com.

Paddock Lights Work Day (what we did)

Special thanks to Andrew Bates, Gaz Williams, Elise Page and Andrew Hesselden for turning up on Saturday to help work on the Paddock.  Also special thanks to Pete Rowe who dug a big hole the week before.

It is true to say that it's a little disappointing that we were not supported by more members of the club, but nevertheless we achieved some of what we set out to do.  Here are some of the things we did:

• cleaned the Farm's barbecue and returned it to them
• trimmed/sawed/hacked foliage away from the lights to improve light for training
• dug trenches and identified where the electric cable is broken (which is preventing some of the lights working).   Unfortunately where the break is, means it has not been possible to get the lights working yet.
• came up with a plan for rewiring the lights to get them working again.
• tidied and cleaned the portakabin up a bit

We'll probably need to have another session again to finish the work, but here are a few pics from the day...

  

Club Christmas Party - It's time to book your place!

Ladies and Gentleman,

The festive season is not far away and the party season will soon begin.

We'll be holding our club Christmas party on Saturday 11th December 2010 at the Crowne Plaza Docklands, just a couple of miles away near Excel.

The theme for the evening is "Viva Las Vegas", so there's a chance for all of us to get dressed up.

Tickets are just £44.95 which is great value and includes an arrival drink, a 3-course meal, disco, roulette and black jack tables. To keep prices down for you, the club won't make any profit out of this and we won't charge extra for your guests, but if you're not already a club member, please consider joining as a social member or renew your membership before the party.

To secure your place, you just need to pay a deposit of £20 now (before Thursday 21st October) and the remaining amount will be due in November. Places will be limited, as this is a shared party so it really will be first-come-first-served!!

More details: http://www.crowneplazadocklands.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/52878_cp_docklands_xmas_brochure.pdf

Seven ways you could help your club

The committee is extraordinarily busy at the moment just keeping things running and trying to develop the club.  We could really use some extra help!  We're looking for some volunteers to help us out running the adult side of the club.  Here are seven ways you could help us out....

1. Club Membership Coordinator
- to receive data as adult members join the club
- make sure new members are added to mailing lists
- send new people a nice welcome email
- approach new members to choose a membership payment option
- make membership cards that give access to the clubhouse

2. Match report writers
- people who want to come and watch games (or play)
- write interesting match reports for the programme and local press (linking in with our club press officer)

3. First aiders
- people with first aid training or who want to be trained as a first aider to provide match day support for our adult teams.

4. People to help us dig holes in the paddock this weekend
- To help us install more lighting on the paddock


5. Competent electricians to put wires in the holes we dig this weekend
- To help install more lighting on the paddock

6. Bar People / Mixologists
- To serve behind our brilliant bar, serving delicious beer, and mixing amazing cocktails.

7. Sponsorship Gurus
- To come up with clever ideas for getting sponsorship for the adult side of the club and actually follow through on those ideas, make sure we can deliver things in return, get the cheque in and manage our relationship with that sponsor to make sure they are happy.

If you can help with any of these, please email andrew@millwallrugby.com in the first instance and I'll put you in touch with the right people on the committee.

Cheers
Andrew

Help @ the Clubhouse

We have a lot to do to get ready for the Hawaiian Night @ the Clubhouse on Satuday - our first social event of the new season.

If you can help out during the day, we'd love to see you anytime after 11am Thursday or 10am Friday.

Apologies for the short notice, but we know several club members are 'working from home' or job hunting at present so - if that describes you - please come along and help out. We have a range of tasks from shifting unwanted furniture to sorting the docorations to "theme" the clubhouse.

For those who can only help in the evening (or are only intertested in the drinking) the clubhouse will be open as usual on both Thursday and Friday evenings. 9pm Thursday also sees an informal meeting of those wanting to help organise our next Men's tour.

And everyone - dig out your hawaiian shirt or grass skirt ready for Saturday night...

Training Changes from Tues 31st August

As we've reached the end of the Summer Touch rugby season, Men's training will move to the usual training nights of Tuesday and Thursday nights with the first Tuesday session running on 31st August.  The last Monday/Wed session will be Wednesday 25th August.

Keep an eye on the club's Facebook status, to find out whether training is running on the Park or the Paddock, but we expect to keep training on the park while we have sufficient light.  With that in mind, we will aim to start Tuesday & Thursday sessions at the earlier time of 7pm and finish at 8.30pm

For information about Women's training, please keep an eye out on the Venus Rugby website, but this is expected to run on Wednesday evenings.

Touch rugby will run on Sundays throughout the winter, starting from Mid September - join the Touch Rugby  Facebook group to stay up to date.
