As the season has now begun, we would like to draw you attention to four extremely important issues.

Membership.
When your child joins WRUFC they immediately becomes a member of Warrington Sports Club (WSC). In previous years, as guests of the Sports Club, WRUFC parents, carers and their families have been able to enjoy the facilities (bar!!) the club offers due to the arrangement that the two clubs held. This season, WRUFC is a full and equal member of the Sports Club and as we continue using the facilities, all of us need to become members. Family social membership of WSC is just £25.00 per annum, outstanding value for the standard of facilities we enjoy. An application form and details on how to join WSC can be collected from the club. The club will perform regular audits on membership and none-members will not be allowed to enter the club.

Playing Kit In The Club
No players are allowed in the bar in playing kit, regardless of age or if the kit is considered "clean". All coaches have been asked to reinforce this point and to ensure compliance by both our players and opposition players. No boots are to be left at the top of the stairs, please encourage all players to use the changing facilities provided. It is vital that we respect both the fabric of the club and the wider membership and we need to ensure that this rule is adhered to. The club does sell tracksuits and polo shirts for post/after match use and you can contact Becky Nicholls (01925 601570) for further details on this.

After Match Food
This season all post match meals will be consumed in the function room. Players will not be allowed to consume post match food in any other area of the club, including the bar. To assist in this process, the function room bar will be open and staffed and the big screen will be on showing any relevant sports events. Please will parents/carers please ensure that their children are aware of this rule and adhere to it.

Car Parking
As the club continues to grow one of the major challenges that we face is car parking & traffic management, this is particularly true on match days. This season we will be trying to manage these issues via the following initiatives:
Car park attendants on match days (Volunteers needed, please see Dave Nicholls for details)
4x4s can park in the field across the road. (4x4s only or you will get stuck!!)
Overspill will be at Walton Gardens car park and then walk down and cut across the fields.
PLEASE do not park on Walton Lea Road outside the club or on the surrounding roads. As well as being illegal it is very dangerous and will result in an accident involving one of the children, something I know all of would never want to happen.

All of the initiatives above are designed to enhance the enjoyment, safety and comfort of all of us. It is self-policing however and I hope that all of you can assist in ensuring that everybody adheres to this guidance. If you have any questions or issues, please do not hesitate to contact your coach or me

Here's to a great season and thank you for your support..
