Bristol Rugby Mini and Juniors 2008-9

 

Following a very successful year at all levels for the BM&J age groups they are anticipating more success for the young players next season. With success comes unexpected travelling costs which make our contributions even more important. It is likely that we will be asked for a similar investment of £5,000 as last year.

 

At the time of writing we do not have full details nor do we have a final idea of the range of projects that we will be presenting to you but we will be in a position to present these to you at the AGM.

 

Bristol Schools Rugby Union Report 2008-9

 

The BSRU 15 and 16 age groups have had a tremendous year playing flowing and winning rugby against some tough opposition.

 

We can look forward to this group of boys progressing to the next age group. Gareth Lloyd Jones, the Chair of the BSRU has said that “without your [BRIS Trust] help, we could not possibly have fulfilled our obligation to the 15s and 16s this season”.

 

It is likely that we will be asked for a similar investment of £6,000 as last year. Once again, at the time of writing we do not have full details nor do we have a final idea of the range of projects that we will be presenting to you but we will be in a position to present these to you at the AGM.

 

Bristol Rugby Calendars 2009

 

Once again we have been given the opportunity by the Club to produce a fund raising calendar for 2009 and with the increase in size there is also an increase in production costs which we need to match with sponsorship.

 

So if you can help us then please get in touch. Costs will be £300 per month sponsorship and £1,200 for main calendar sponsorship. For more details please contact Andrew Humphreys on 07710 782993 ASAP.
