Chairman’s Foreword

Welcome to the new County Handbook which I hope you will find to be a useful source of valuable information about our County and our Clubs. I hope that you find the fixture lists a useful feature, enabling you to support our Bucks Clubs.

Please also refer to our Website: www.bucksrfu.pitchero.com This site holds all the relevant information and news about Bucks Rugby. Please contact the Webmaster if you have any information or news that needs to be shared. Remember, the website is only as good as its content so let’s all contribute!

The season 2016/17 was again great for Rugby in the County with the opening of the first Artificial Grass Pitch in the Country at RFC and the subsequent hosting of the vs France U18 International match on 5th March 2017. To add to our County pride, there were two Bucks players in the England Squad – Will Porter and Joe Tunney!

Our Senior Men’s and Women’s teams also progressed well with some excellent victories in the County Championship.

As a County we seem to produce some very talented players, and this is very much down to the Clubs and Schools in our area being “Development” focused and ensuring that the most talented get the exposure they deserve, plus the great efforts of our Director of Rugby, Neale Baker and his team of dedicated managers and coaches across all age groups.

We intend as County to continue this theme every season and ensure that as many players as possible have the opportunity to play at their highest potential level. Our purpose as a County is: "Developing Life Long Participation in Rugby"

We can only produce this handbook thanks to the very generous and ongoing support of our Sponsors, Aylesbury Honda, Dayla & Run Print Run. We are very grateful to them all.

I would like to thank Shelley Pigott for once again putting this handbook together. This takes a lot of hard work which Shelley does uncomplainingly for the County. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.

May I also take this opportunity to encourage you in asking your Club members to consider joining the County as a Vice President.

Finally, I thank our outgoing President Gwyn Stone who has had a hugely positive influence during his year of office, not only visiting all the Clubs but also his heavy involvement in the Leadership Academy. I welcome our new President Dickie Thomas from RFC and new Senior Vice President John Lockhart from Phoenix RFC. We are lucky to have such dedicated people. I wish Dickie our new President, every success and joy in his presidential year and I look forward to visiting Clubs during the coming season.

Chris McCombie

COUNTY QUALIFICATION - PLAYERS

The Executive Committee looks forward with confidence to the coming season and to the continuance of the fullest possible support from all clubs in the County.

The selectors, in their constant endeavour to field the strongest possible side to represent the County in all its matches at whatever age group, would welcome the names of any players qualified to play for Buckinghamshire that a club feels merit inclusion.

Details of such players should be forwarded to the relevant team manager (see Playing Support Structure). The selectors will endeavour to watch all such players and review with club coaches their progress in the selection process.

The County Championship is played according to a two-tier format. Buckinghamshire are in the lower tier and compete for the County Shield. The County aims to appear at Twickenham in the final of the national Shield within the next three years. The support of all Member Clubs and their players will be required in order to achieve this objective. Eligibility for this is as below:

Eligibility of Players & Teams

1. A player who is Effectively Registered (as defined in RFU Regulation 14) for a Club playing at Level 3 or below as at the date of the 2016-17 Transfer Deadline is eligible to play in any tier of the Competition. A player who is Effectively Registered for a Club at Level 1 or Level 2 as at the date of the Transfer Deadline in the 2016-17 season is not eligible to play in any tier of the competition. 2. 2. Subject to this Regulation D and in accordance with RFU Regulation 15, a player may only play in the County Competitions for a County in which: 3. (i) he was born; or 4. (ii) he has completed not less than 6 months Residence within the County concerned in the preceding 12 months; or 5. (iii) has played for a County in a previous County Competition or National Under 20 Championship and who was qualified to play for that County under the Regulations then in effect. Any such player shall remain eligible to play for that County until such time as he qualifies for and plays for another County in any of the Competitions or the National Under 20 Championship. 6. or (iv) he is an Effectively Registered Player of a Club allocated to the County on the date of the match. 7. If a player is eligible for more than one County in a season, the player may select which county to represent but once opted for a county for a particular season and played one match in the competition for that county, the player cannot change to play for another county in the same season.

THE APPOINTMENTS PROCEDURE

Clubs should use the website (www.bucksreferees.com/appointments) for information regarding referee appointments and MUST confirm their game directly with the referee listed during the week prior to the fixture in question. If this requirement is not complied with, the referee shall have the right to seek an alternative game through the Society. The Appointments Secretary will publish forthcoming appointments midway through the preceding month. Clubs MUST inform the Appointments Secretary of any changes to their fixtures as early as possible. If a non-notified fixture change results in the referee travelling unnecessarily the club will be charged. All appointments must be made by the Society’s Officers to ensure that the necessary insurance cover is in place.

WOULD ALL CLUBS PLEASE ENSURE THAT COMPLETED ASSESSMENT CARDS ARE RETURNED AS THESE FORM AN IMPORTANT PART OF A REFEREE’S DEVELOPMENT.
