Murrayfield Wanderers Rugby Trust Foundation a Charity Registered in Scotland: SC039024 Murrayfield Wanderers Rugby Trust Foundation A Charity registered in Scotland: SC039024 through enthusiastic leaders h2021 Newsletter Giving Young People a Sporting Chance 1 A Word from our Chair A warm welcome to our 2021 Newsletter and what a challenging year we’ve just had! Hopefully, 2021 will be an improvement as the vaccine rolls out and we get back to normal. My thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by the Andy Jones pandemic or prevented from participating in sport over the last year. I remember rugby being frozen off for six weeks when I was at St. Andrews and I was beside myself with pent up energy, desperately hoping for a break in the weather so matches could resume. Fortunately, we have managed to maintain sessions for the kids in a limited fashion over the past few months and I know the children will be itching for more sport as soon as possible. Last year, we said goodbye to both our Club president Davy Young and our Development Officer, Murray Hastie. Readers will be aware of the contributions both made to the Club over We are now registered at the years and the Trust expresses its gratitude for their service. AmazonSmile.

He is full of enthusiasm and has some interesting ideas of how to develop youngsters at the Club and we look forward to supporting his efforts over the next few Giving Young People a Sporting Chance 2 years. He is being ably supported by Nathan Smith and a team of volunteers whose untiring work is vital to the success of the sessions. Changes at the What was a difficult situation for rugby in Scotland has been exacerbated by the pandemic. It is vital that we can continue Trust supporting young people into rugby in the long-term. We are doing everything we can to provide support but, as ever, we are reliant on our friends, members, and supporters for funding. Recently, we registered with Amazon Smile which donates a small sum of every purchase to us. We urge our supporters to use this free service to generate funds. Further donations are our lifeblood so I ask you to give generously. At the end of this Newsletter is a Gift Aid form. Any donation, however small, will help us achieve our objectives.

Giving Young People a Sporting Chance 3 Club President’s message It was with great disappointment that we learned that the adult rugby season 2020/21 was cancelled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst it came as no surprise it is still a huge blow to the club and the wider rugby Bobby Frazer community in Scotland. I want to reassure everyone that the Club’s committee is doing all it can to continue training and, at the same time, plan for season 2021/22 which, hopefully, will be unaffected. Please read the undernoted message that head coach, Derek O’Riordan, sent to the players following the SRU announcement which, I think, best sums up the situation at this time: “Today’s news is a blow lads - I have to admit I am struggling without rugby at a time I, like most of us need it as a stable part of my life to feel like there is some degree of normality, structure and purpose. With a view that we are on the home stretch coming out of winter and into spring I would still like to offer and facilitate one session per week to keep us together as much as possible as a group. 18 months without rugby can take its toll on a squad and our focus as a Club has to be on staying connected as a community and staying together for the future. All of us, where possible, need to stick in and support the playing side to keep the Club alive and allow us to ride this storm through the 21/22 season. Let me know if you are keen for training once a week from the New Year (within the guidelines) as we start the slow build to the season come the summer.” It is encouraging to report the very high level of positive responses there were to this within an hour of it going out. It’s proposed that men’s training will initially resume at Roseburn Park on a Saturday once the go-ahead is given that it is safe to do so and Edinburgh has come down from level 3 restrictions. In addition, we remain in active discussions with the Ice Rink over the Riversdale Suite re- opening but we are also exploring alternative venues to use as temporary clubrooms should the former not be possible. We will keep you updated on all developments as we hope to make the most of what we can over the next few months. Meantime, it is pleasing to report that the Girls section, under Kirsty Fisher, and the Mini section, led by Vice President Jim McDonaugh, have continued to train and attract new members. If you get a chance please come down to Roseburn Park on a Wednesday evening or Sunday lunchtime to watch some very enjoyable junior rugby training and, at the same time, catch up with those that are there. Giving Young People a Sporting Chance 4 May I also take the opportunity to welcome Marko Mladenovic to MWFC as the Club’s new Development Officer who takes over from Murray Hastie. He is already attending these sessions and again, if you get the chance, please come down to say hello to him. He has impressed everyone so far with his undoubted enthusiasm and positive attitude in all that he has done. In these challenging times I would ask anyone who has not already done so to pay their sub and support the Club in any way they can. Every little thing makes a bigger difference. Currently, we are working on various fund-raising ideas and we will reveal more in due course. Finally, it’s always good to finish on a positive note and I leave you with the following message from New Zealand. The father of Mitch Chapman, the supporters’ player of the season, says everything about the Club and what Murrayfield Wanderers stands for: “It means as much to be recognised by the supporters as to be chosen by the players themselves, I know Mitch would rather be staying on and playing longer for your club but unfortunately the virus thing has made things tough with getting visa extensions. I’m sure if he can in the future he will return as he seems to have made some close friends in his time there. Thanks for looking after him so well while he has been with your Club, much appreciated many thanks, regards Murray Chapman.” My sincere thanks to everyone who has continued to help the Club during this time. Stay safe and well. Hopefully next year brings much better rugby news at Roseburn and beyond. Giving Young People a Sporting Chance 5 Spotlight On Our New Development Officer Having played rugby in different countries and at various levels in France, England and Scotland, and captaining Cyprus at international level, I have come to appreciate the importance of rugby as a vehicle to drive confidence, communication and friendship in Marko Mladenovic people, whilst experiencing the true meaning of what it is to be a part of a team and a community.

  • Mr. Dominic Mckay Chief Operating Officer Scottish Rugby Union BT Murrayfield Edinburgh EH12 5PJ
    Mr. Dominic McKay Chief Operating Officer Scottish Rugby Union BT Murrayfield Edinburgh EH12 5PJ Our Ref: KD0294 23 August 2018 Dear Mr. McKay Re: Edinburgh Wanderers I am writing on behalf of a constituent, Mr. Pete Gregson, 27 Riversdale Grove, Edinburgh, EH12 5QS who recently contacted me regarding the Edinburgh Wanderers situation in attempting to find a new home. In his correspondence with my office, Pete has expressed frustration as to why the Edinburgh Wanderers Club cannot continue to use the clubhouse that the team and supporters paid for 25 years ago. Pete has claimed that the amateur rugby club invested £300,000 into the building 25 years ago, whilst the SRU have paid £50,000 for the building. Pete believes that the Edinburgh Wanderers should be allowed continued use of the clubhouse as he states that SRU’s John Petrie claims that Edinburgh Rugby have no plans to use it. Pete has stated that residents are additionally unhappy at the proposal for the Wanderers to build a new clubhouse in his local Roseburn Park. Pete has stated that the residents believe (like Friends of Roseburn Park, Wanderers fans and their Lord Provost and ward Councillor, Frank Ross) there to be no reason as to why the SRU cant continue to let the Wanderers use their clubhouse and continue practising at Murrayfield. In your response to this letter, my constituent would appreciate if you could provide further details regarding the ongoing situation with the Edinburgh Wanderers and whether an agreement can be made with the club so that they can continue to use the clubhouse and continue practising at Murrayfield.
