UPGRADE TO A HOTEL

The Hostel we have chosen is excellent. It is comfortable, safe, represents superb value for money and is located where you can be in the heart of Newcastle within minutes. However, we know that they are not for everyone. You are able to upgrade your tour to a 3* City Hotel or a 4* Hotel in the outskirts of Newcastle for £25 per person, per night. You will get a little more creature comfort, but if like many, the budget is the key to the tour, then you have our word that the Hostels will certainly surprise.

INTRODUCING: NEWCASTLE

We thoroughly believe that on the eighth day, the Good Lord put an axis into the ground in Newcastle City Centre and declared that the World shall re- volve around this magnificent place for eternity.

We may be slightly biased about our fantastic home city, but show me a per- son who leaves here disappointed and we'll admit defeat. Newcastle pos- sesses a vibrant atmosphere like no other. Whether it be by day on the bus- tling hives of Street and Grey Street, or at night on the World Class Quayside or eyebrow raising Bigg Market.

Being based near the city gives us un-rivalled knowledge, friendships and The Imperious Hadrian’s Wall connections with Rugby Clubs, Hotels and Activity providers. Our knowledge and experience in arranging tours up here goes directly into the plans for your tour. Giving you those pieces of information and assistance that you wouldn't otherwise find.

It's not all attitude and late nights. The city is truly beautiful. Take a walk down Grey Street, along a Georgian Boulevard ranked as the third best street in , under the drastic railway bridge before getting to the Quayside - undoubtedly one of Britain's most stunning waterside developments. It is no wonder that Lonely Planet had Newcastle in it's top 10 places to visit in 2011.

A short drive from Newcastle can take you into the breath-taking Northum- Tynedale RFC Vs The Woodlands brian countryside. Home to rolling green hills, salmon filled rivers, Hadrian’s (USA). Tour match in Newcastle Wall and the magnificent coastline, Northumberland itself would be a tour highlight.

Newcastle has a huge sporting culture. Numerous Rugby Clubs with stand- ards to match all, mixes with some of the strongest University Rugby in the country and a selection of excellent School Rugby programmes.

Rugby in the North-East revolves around the local AVIVA Premiership team, Newcastle Falcons. The halcyon days when Jonny Wilkinson et al dominated the English game have sadly passed, but with a stellar coaching set up and an ambitious owner, the good days set to be back on the horizon for the Fal- Kings College, Taunton (UK) under cons. the Tyne Bridge on the Quayside SKY HIGH SPORTS 8 THE RUGBY TOUR SPECIALISTS

The Tynedale RFC School Rugby Festival is a pre-season Rugby event to ena- ble U18 and U15 School Rugby teams who wish to effectively finalise their pre -season preparations in a competitive yet relaxed and accommodating envi- ronment.

Our format also encourages competition by deciding a first to last classification at the end of each tournament.

Founded in 1999, the Tynedale RFC School Rugby Festival, has grown to be John Hawkins, Captain of Stowe one of the most popular pre-season Schools Tournaments on the circuit. School with the U18 Cup in 2014 The event was popular with some of the most prevalent Rugby Playing Schools across Britain and Ireland with participants travelling from all of the home-nations to compete. The 2015 Festival will consist of a two tier, 16 team tournament at U18 and a single tier tournament at U15. This exclusive event is high quality and is not a tournament with ambitions of huge financial success in leiu of the quality of the rugby on offer.

TESTIMONIALS FROM TEAMS JUST LIKE YOURS

“An awesome four days of pre-season training and highly recommend it to any other school or club. The organisation of the four days and the train- ing facilities were top class. The early morning gym and pool session with four hours of training was the perfect way to start the season. The morn- ing beach session was a highlight alongside the evening activities in partic- ular the all you can eat meat buffet and Newcastle Falcons game. Many thanks to Richie and the Sky High Sports team and we will certainly be re- turning next year.” Pangbourne College on their tour in 2013 CHARLIE SUTTON, PANGBOURNE COLLEGE, NEWCASTLE TOUR 2013

“We wanted to use our tour as an opportunity for a pre-season training camp in order to help with team bonding and quality practice. Newcastle is a great city and the players enjoyed social aspects of dinner out in the town and the MetroCentre. The facilities we were able to access were tre- mendous. Sports Central is a great environment to bring young players in to and the chance to meet professional athletes and see a premiership club in action were the icing on the cake. This is our second visit to the Kings College Taunton at North East with Sky High Sports and the level of attention and support Tynemouth Beach in 2013 given by the staff was outstanding. Everything ran extremely smoothly and we will certainly be back.” NICK GRESSWELL, KINGS COLLEGE TAUNTON, NEWCASTLE TOUR 2013

“I thought the Festival and Tour were a great experience for our players. The hostel is great and the facilities at the University were very useful. Having the Sky High Sports team on hand to answer any questions and show us around was also very useful and Richard did a great job of this. The Berkhamsted School at the The boys loved the trip to Hawick to watch the Falcons play Edinburgh. Tynedale RFC Festival in 2013 We will be bringing our senior and possibly our U15 squads to the Festival next year as the whole experience was great preparation for the season ahead.” BEN MAHONEY, BERKHAMSTED SCHOOL, NEWCASTLE TOUR, 2013

“A quick thank-you for the Festival and Tour. The guys had a great time. It was just what was needed. We enjoyed the Old Albanians game at Tyne- dale, and were very impressed by the club.”

Berkhamsted after winning The DICK MOWBRAY, BERKHAMSTED SCHOOL, NEWCASTLE TOUR 2012 Plate at Tynedale RFC in 2013 "I thought that the training camp was superb and we really enjoyed the visit, the hostel was a perfect venue and the trip to the Falcons and access to Bullocksteads was first class. The boys enjoyed this aspect especially. Transport was first rate, Communication and contact with yourselves was brilliant and nice to know the Sky High Sports team were close by. In terms of games it was fairly spot on. We all loved Sport Central - what a brilliant facility, it was great to have access to it!

TOUR KIT WITH BLK SPORT

Sky High Sports is delighted to work with BLK Sport, one of the most dynamic rugby-specialist apparel brands in the UK. BLK arrived in Eu- rope from Australia with a bang in 2012, and is already the brand of choice for Stade Toulousain, The Ospreys & Connacht. Their range of stash is exceptional, their prices as good as it gets and their bespoke design-your-own facility leads to limitless options.

BLK isn’t just a name, it’s an attitude driven by a deliberate and defining insight - that nothing new ever comes from the known; that real innova- tion, real design and real improvements in performance come only from operating outside the boundaries of everything that’s gone before.

This absolute refusal to merely repeat or refine the past but to relent- lessly push beyond all limits known, is a philosophy instilled in BLK from its early beginnings as KooGa Australia.

Today that philosophy is reflected in the ground-breaking training gear and performance apparel worn by over 4,000 teams around the world, including national representative sides such as the Manu Samoa Rugby Union, Fiji Rugby Union & USA Rugby.

To download a brochure, see the price list and try the kit-designer, visit www.skyhighsports.biz and follow the links to the BLK section on our website.

The tour kit we ordered with BLK is the best our club has ever had! We will definitely be using Sky High Sports & BLK Sport again. MATT BABBITT, TEAM CAPTAIN, BRUCE COUNTY BARBARIANS (CAN),
