After getting the players, what’s the most important next ingredient? OK a ref, after that what? A pitch, yes you’re there. Be nice to know a pitch was playable at any time wouldn’t it? That’s what is so special about AGPs (Artificial Grass Pitches) –playable all year round come rain or shine. No risk of drowning, getting stuck in a mud bath, the game being called off because the pitch is waterlogged, a more even surface, faster game and so on. Also players aren’t caked in mud afterwards. There are claims that injuries are minimised and that they are easier on the joints because of having a more consistent surface. All the new ones have floodlights allowing the utmost flexibility, in that they can be used 7 days a week from 9am until 10pm – when it best suits players. So what’s not to like? In Gloucestershire we are soon to be in a position to access quite a few strategically placed AGPs. This is as well as some self-funded AGPs at Dings Crusaders (to be completed early in 2018), the Bristol Combination ground at Lockleaze and those at Hartpury College, the Wise Campus at OFFICIAL OPENING OF OXSTALLS AGP, UGC. 5/12/17 Filton and at Coombe Dingle, belonging to Bristol University, which is also From Left to Right -Bernie Jones (Aspire Trust); Chris Kelly (RFU); used by St Brendan’s OBS.

  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

  • Originally Known As the R
    Example of a John Player rugby cup Originally known as the R.F.U Club Competition, for which no cup was awarded nor sponsorship sought, it was renamed the John Player Cup in 1976, Gosforth beating Rosslyn Park in the Final. The first competition took place in 1972, and Gloucester were crowned inaugural champions, defeating Moseley in the final, 17 to 6. Coventry won two titles in succession in 1973 and 1974, and after Bedford's championship win in 1975, Gosforth also won two in succession, in 1976 and 1977. Gloucester won their second title in 1978. The competition was then dominated by Leicester, who won three championships in a row, until Gloucester won their third title in 1982. This was shared with Moseley after a 12-12 draw in extra time, and was the only time the cup was shared between two teams. Leicester were again in the final in 1983, but lost to Bristol. Leicester's record run was then broken by Bath from 1984-87, who won the John Player Cup four times in a row, until Harlequins won their first in 1988. The John Player Cup was named after John Player, a nineteenth century Nottinghamshire businessman. John Player had his own factory that made cigarettes and the company ultimately grew to become a huge concern known as John Player & Sons. We don’t have the John Player Cup today because tobacco advertising has been banned on health grounds as it is believed that if tobacco companies sponsor sports it encourages people to smoke. Today, John Player Special and John Player King Size are manufactured by Imperial Tobacco, whereas John Player Gold Leaf is manufactured by British American Tobacco (in some countries), and ranks as one of the best selling and popular tobacco products in Pakistan.
