Just saw a post on Gordon’s insta about starting 7s training in August, Renegades working hard on getting a women’s team also starting in August. Eastwood hosting a colts info night as well. Lots of clubs will start pre season two nights a week before the end of the year.

Gone is the break for the volunteers and players that allows them some time off. There’s a need to start planning for next year before the end of the current season. The much pushed plan from Fluedy says you need a 5 year plan and lock all your sponsors etc in already.

I’m sure many will say these are well run clubs and it’s what we should all aspire to.
But for me it’s just adding to the drain on our volunteers and the reason why we are seeing a huge drop in people wanting to take on roles and keep clubs a float.

Don't worry - I'm feeling it! :) Had a meeting last night to set up tonight's meeting for womens rugby. Going to have our own Colts info session soon. Got some off-season tournaments to get both Colts and Womens to, as well as maybe Mens.

The difference for us is Colts and Womens is a new batch, not the existing players. While I've got a Halligan Cup game going on Saturday v Hills, I'm seeing a few of the regular guys put up the shutters for now ;)

At the same time as being buggered from another season, I've also come to the conclusion that letting everything drift for 4-5 months and then having to go again in Feb is a bit like letting a car battery run flat while it sits in the shed; bloody hard to get started again! If I keep a bit of momentum here and there it might (might) be better.

Time will tell!
