  • Executive Note to the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events
    Executive Note The Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2007 (S.S.I 2007/ 324) The above instrument was made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 18 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 and all other powers enabling them to do so. It amends the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Order 2004 (S.S.I 2004/356). The instrument is subject to negative resolution procedure. Policy Objectives The principal purpose of the instrument is to remove from designation Senior Men’s International Rugby Union Matches played at Murrayfield Stadium and Hampden Park for the purposes of Part II of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995. Part II imposes certain restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcohol at designated sports grounds for designated sporting events. The opportunity is also taken to update the 2004 Order to reflect the change in name of the Bayview Stadium, Methil to New Bayview Park, Methil. Background to Licensing at Murrayfield and rugby events In 1982, the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) voluntarily agreed that Murrayfield should be designated under Part V of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980 (as re-enacted in Part II of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995. For 25 years no alcohol has been sold at senior men’s international matches such as the Six Nations Championship. However the sale of alcohol to the public has been permitted at rugby events not classified as International matches, such as the Heineken European Cup Final in 2005, with a crowd of 55,000 which proved most successful and went without incident.

  • Twickenham Stadium Technical Briefing Note
    Technical briefing note – Off-site hospitality locations (OLOs) 72 Welbeck Street London W1G 0AY Twickenham Stadium Tel. 020 7493 3338 Fax. 020 7491 1825 www.geraldeve.com Executive Summary 1 We have reviewed the planning history for the Off-site Licenced Operator (OLO) sites at Chase Bridge, Kneller Hall, Access Self Storage, Richmond College, All Hallows Church, Twickenham Stoop, Cardinal Vaughn playing fields, as well as the planning history for the North Car Park. 2 Planning permission exists for off-site hospitality on RFU match days at five sites. 3 Of these, two (Richmond upon Thames College and Access Self Storage) have time limited permissions, the permitted uses will end by March 2020. 4 Three (Kneller Hall, Chase Bridge school and Twickenham Stoop) have permanent planning permission for hospitality on a set number of days. 5 No planning permission has been found for the use of Cardinal Vaughan playing fields except for the temporary permission for Rugby World Cup use. 6 The position is summarised in Table 1, below. 7 Off-site corporate hospitality is highly unlikely to continue on the three sites with permanent permission, following the completion of the East Stand. This is because: 1. the RFU will no longer provide corporate hospitality tickets to the third party operators, preventing them from assembling corporate hospitality packages. Erecting marquees, etc., for corporate hospitality will not be viable if premium rates cannot be charged because a match ticket is not included in the package; 2. any alternative hospitality offer would not be licenced by the RFU and, as such, is unlikely to be attractive to corporate clients in any case; 3.

  • Calcutta Cup
    The Calcutta Cup The Calcutta Cup is the trophy presented to the winner of the England versus Scotland rugby union match which takes place during the annual Six Nations Championship – also currently known as the RBS 6 Nations – between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy. The Six Nations Championships date back to 1883 in its original guise as the Home Nations Championships, when it was contested by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. More recently, trophies have been awarded for a number of individual competitions during the Six Nations including the Millennium Trophy which is awarded to the winner of the game between England and Ireland; the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy which is awarded to the winner of the game between France and Italy and the Centenary Quaich which is awarded to the winner of the game between Scotland and Ireland. However, the Calcutta Cup pre-dates all of the other Six Nations trophies and indeed the competition itself. England v. Scotland, 1901 Following the popular introduction of rugby to India in 1872, the Calcutta (Rugby) Football Club was established by former students of Rugby School in January 1873, joining the Rugby Football Union in 1874. However, with the departure of a local British army regiment (and perhaps more crucially the cancellation of the free bar at the club!), interest in rugby diminished in the area and sports such as cricket, tennis and polo began to thrive as they were better suited to the Indian climate. Whilst the Calcutta (Rugby) Football Club was disbanded in 1878, members decided to keep the memory of the club alive by having the remaining 270 silver rupees in their bank account melted down to be made into a trophy.

  • Six Nations Rugby
    March 2017 CRAZE OF THE MONTH: SIX NATIONS RUGBY What is the Six Nations? The Six Nations Championship is a rugby union tournament played annually between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. During the course of the competition each team plays every other team once. This year four points are awarded for a win, two for a draw and zero for a loss. An additional point is awarded for scoring four or more tries in a match or for losing by seven points or fewer. The team with the most points after all 15 matches have been played wins the tournament. The first round of matches was played over the weekend of 4–5 February followed by round two on 11–12 February and round three on 25–26 February. The defending champions England currently top of the table having won all three of their matches so far. Round 4 will be played on the weekend of 10–11 March followed by the dramatic conclusion on 18 March, when all six teams will play. How can the Six Nations be used for literacy teaching? We know that tapping into children’s interests is a great way of engaging them in learning. Our research shows that children who enjoy writing very much are seven times more likely to write above the level expected for their age compared with children and young people who do not enjoy writing at all. Similarly, children and young people who write outside school daily are five times more likely to be writing above the expected level for their age compared with young people who never write outside school1.
