  • Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958
    Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958 - 1966 John Henderson ‘The Boot’ Remembers Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College RFC ‘The Boot’ Remembers When I first matriculated in October 1958 at the Scottish School of Physical Education, Jordanhill, Glasgow to undergo a three year diploma course of training in order to qualify as a teacher of Physical Education, I had no idea that some years later my senior rugby career would turn out to be as creditable as it did. Although I knew then that I was a very accurate and lengthy instep place-kicker of a rugby ball, I was under no illusion that my getting a place in the Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club top squad would be easy, nor did I have any notion then that retaining a first choice spot in the 1st XV for a good number of seasons might possibly occur. However, I was aware of the fact that graduating from College was not the end of the opportunity to play senior rugby for Jordanhill, as former students as players were not only considered eligible, but were also deemed essential in order to maintain a fighting chance for coach Bill Dickinson‟s side to compete at the highest levels possible in Scotland. Thus time was on my side, if only I was patient, and prepared to work hard at the game. But first I had, during my student days, to convince mentors Bill Dickinson and George Orr of my potential, and then, if this was accomplished, to provide consistent proof thereafter of my continuing value as a full back/three-quarter and place kicker in the top side in its annual attempts to win the Scottish Unofficial Club Championship and the Glasgow District Knock-Out Trophy.

  • Scottish Rugby Player Contracts and Payments Policy
    Scottish Rugby Player Contracts and Payments Policy LEADERSHIP . ENGAGEMENT . ACHIEVEMENT . ENJOYMENT . RESPECT Foreword The benefits of participation in sport are widely recognised, not just in terms of health but in building confidence, teamwork and friendships. Scottish Rugby’s Values of Leadership, Engagement, Achievement, Enjoyment and Respect apply across all areas of our sport, from mini rugby through to our international teams. Integral to our ability to achieve these objectives is maintaining the long-term financial health and sustainability of our member clubs. The Scottish Rugby Council’s Standing Committee on Governance was asked to bring forward proposals to regulate the payment of players within our club game. The Standing Committee consulted widely on this matter, and received a clear message that financial sustainability and fair competition must be at the heart of Scottish club game. This was reflected in the Report of the Standing Committee published during January 2019. The player payment proposals arising from the Report of the Standing Committee have now been endorsed by Scottish Rugby and are reflected in the attached Policy and Regulation. To support this Policy and Regulation, Scottish Rugby will also provide advice and guidance to those players, clubs and volunteers who are the heartbeat of our game. We will also continue to monitor best practice in this area and will, where necessary and appropriate, update our Policy and Regulation as required.

  • Sponsors' Brochure Sponsors
    BIGGAR RFC SPONSORS’ BROCHURE SEASON 2018/2019 ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY President’s Message It is again an honour for me to be writing this year’s sponsorship message as I am writing it as the championship winning president of Biggar rugby club. It was an incredible season of success throughout the club, the Under 16 boys going to the National final at Murrayfield but on the day were narrowly beaten by Stirling County but did win the West Regional cup. Our under 18 girls again achieved a Murrayfield final and again won for a fifth year. The senior season was capped by the First XV winning their league as champions, promoting the club to National 1, for this season 2019/2020. The season could hardly have got any better, it did, Biggar rugby football club were presented with “The Club of the Year Award at the annual SRU awards dinner at the Corn Exchange. What a special finish to a fantastic season! Our club has strengthened its position as a hub in our community for numerous sports clubs. We are delighted to remain hosts to Biggar United and Law AAC at Hartreemill for training and competition. We at Biggar RFC are lucky enough to have 17 squads of both male and female players ranging from the new Biggar Bairns (rugby for 3-5-year olds) to over 35s. Many businesses and individuals from the Biggar area and the extended community support our club with their sponsorship and advertising, without this support we could not offer our children, youth and senior playing squads and other sports clubs the facilities we enjoy.

  • Arboretum Road, Pavilion and Playing Field
    Item no Report no Arboretum Road, pavilion and playing field Education, Children and Families Committee 9 October 2012 1 Purpose of report 1.1 This report is a response to the motion on the Arboretum playing fields submitted to the Council by Councillor Hinds in March 2012 and referred to the Education, Children and Families Committee. This motion referred to the poor condition of the current temporary changing facilities (with Portakabins costing £10,000 a year) and the derelict former changing rooms. The Committee agreed that new changing facilities are required and called for a report to address this. This report seeks approval to explore the scope for granting a long lease of the Council owned playing field at Arboretum Road to the Merchant Company Education Board linked to a Partnership Agreement with Stewart’s Melville College which would see substantial investment in a new pavilion and allow for continued use of pitches by Children and Families schools and the resident sports clubs who are currently based at Arboretum. 2 Summary 2.1 The sports pitches at Arboretum Road are principally used by St Thomas of Aquins RC High School, Trinity High School and two sports clubs – Inverleith Rugby Club and Holy Cross Cricket Club. Other schools and clubs make use of the pitches on a letting/occasional basis. Changing and shower facilities are currently provided in portakabins following substantial fire damage to the original pavilion. Initial discussions have taken place with Stewart’s Melville College whose sports pitches and changing facilities are located immediately to the west of the Council’s playing field (see Appendix 1 for map of grounds).

    ROLE SPECIFICATION Senior Finance Manager Private and Confidential CONTENTS 1.0 An Introduction to Scottish Rugby ............................... 1 2.0 Job Requirements ............................................................ 2 3.0 Person Specification ........................................................ 3 1.0 An Introduction to Scottish Rugby Rugby union is an integral part of Scotland’s heritage, and indeed the heritage around the UK and Ireland, parts of Europe and on a wider global platform. Scottish Rugby is the governing body for rugby union in Scotland and was founded in 1873. The principal activity of Scottish Rugby is to promote the game of rugby throughout Scotland, using its wholly owned subsidiary Scottish Rugby Union Limited for all trading activities. In its role as governing body, Scottish Rugby oversees rugby across the country from grassroots level right up to the Scotland National Teams; from mini-club and primary schools through to top global professional participation levels – across both men’s and women’s teams. While rugby has changed over the years, it retains many key qualities, which continue to underpin the game, and which are reflected in Scottish Rugby’s values – Leadership, Engagement, Achievement, Enjoyment and Respect. Rugby union turned professional in 1995, and it now exists as a modern professional sport and entertainment business in an ever changing, flexible, fast and competitive global environment. Within this environment, rugby in Scotland is currently enjoying increased success at international and professional level. The national team, age grades, sevens, women’s teams and pro clubs are competing on the global stage, and the support for these teams has never been stronger, with more than half a million fans having been welcomed to international and professional fixtures last season.
