NEWARK RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB
ANNUAL REPORT
SEASON 2013 / 2014
Message from the President.
Welcome to the 2013/14 AGM
The year started out with high expectations across the club. A new coach and 1st XV skipper, stretching targets for the seniors, and a desire to maintain the mini and junior success of previous years whilst striving for inclusivity in all age groups. We also started out on the redevelopment of the clubhouse project coupled with the need to improve overall financial performance. So how did we do?
Senior Rugby set high targets for the 1st and 2xv’s and a desire to maintain our tradition of fielding 4 senior teams. Having finished 5th in the league, winning the NLD Shield, Pennant League 1 and fielding 4 sides throughout the season, and the 3rdXV training, we can only say ‘what a super effort’. Our injury list was much too long with some players incurring serious injuries. We wish them all a speedy and full recovery.
The senior youth coped admirably with low numbers and with younger players filling the gap they managed to enjoy their rugby. Their spirit and support for each other was much in evidence on their presentation night.
Junior youth maintained their previous standards with strong results throughout the season. Their presentation night was extremely well attended and it was pleasing to note that many of the players have progressed from the lower age groups.
The mini section continues to amaze with numbers and support stretching coaching and facilities. I’ve got RSI from the handshakes on their presentation morning. The coaches and players deserve our support in playing inclusive rugby that aims to ensure all players get game time and coaching that improves skills across the board.
I’ll leave details of specific successes to the reports of those that have worked hard all season to provide coaching and support to all teams.
Off the pitch we have had a successful year with our accounts showing a surplus not seen in previous years. Those who have willingly given their support to maintaining facilities and fund raising activities deserve our thanks and congratulations on their efforts. They tend not to advertise their activity but they a vital in ensuring the club continues to thrive. Thanks to all of you.
I would be in deep trouble if I failed to mention the future of the Clubhouse project. Alan Swain and his team have made a great start and have some new and exciting sponsorship opportunities. The target is challenging but achievable and will be met provided we all organise and support fund raising activity through the coming year. Keep checking Pitchero to ensure you don’t miss out.
We should also be proud and offer our congratulations to Claire Hodnett who is the first woman appointment to the national panel of referees. Claire played at the club until injury ended her playing days. Her appointment to the national panel reflects the hard work and dedication she has displayed in over her refereeing career.
We should all look forward to next season with pride on what we have achieved this season and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of all the individuals who contribute to the running of a successful club. The development of the clubhouse will ensure that we build on the legacy of previous members, lets make it happen.
Ernie Brumitt
President, Newark RUFC
CHAIRMANS REPORT - Season 2013 / 2014
Introduction.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to present Newark Rugby Union Football Clubs Annual Report for Season 2013/14. As reported at last years Annual Meeting, this is the format in which the Board of Newark RUFC Ltd presents its review of the season to members. This will be the last report I present to you as your Club Chairman as I shall be standing down at this years Annual Meeting having served as Chairman for three years. Growing demands upon my time have made it increasingly difficult to commit the time and effort necessary to do justice to the role but it has been an honour to serve as your chairman and I wish my successor all the very best for the future.
Reflecting on the past three seasons that I have Chaired the Board I can confidently state that I leave our Club in a far better shape, both on and off the field, than it was in when I took on the role of Chairman and for that I am extremely grateful to all the friends and colleagues who have contributed to this positive outcome.
Review of the Season.
We started the 2013/14 season having experienced a challenging previous season finishing in the lower half of our league. So it was with some anxiety that I attended the first game of the season at Ilkeston wondering how we would perform this season. My fears were quickly dispelled with what can only be described as a brilliant performance by the entire team led by Matty Clark. Our first team made an important statement that day and have maintained the level of performance for the remainder of the season and it has been a pleasure to watch and support them. Spirits have remained high amongst the players all season and it is good to see that sprit returning to the bar after home games. I do not intend to comment any further on playing issues this season as this has all been captured in Richard Byroms playing report later. Similarly the excellent season enjoyed yet again by our Mini and Youth section is well captured in David Duddles report.
Strategically last season the Board addressed itself to the need to develop additional sustainable income streams from new events/initiatives in order to increase income levels and thereby the clubs cash reserves. It was agreed that this was necessary to ensure the resilience of the club and essential if we are to realise our ambition to develop a new/improved club house facility here at Kelham Road. I am therefore delighted that the financial out turn for this season forecasts a profit before depreciation and tax of £34,000 compared to £12,000 last year, an increase of £22,000. Richard Staniforths finance report gives details of the new initiatives and income streams that have been generated and contributed to what has been a very successful season financially.
The Clubs Board of Directors have worked hard all season to achieve this significant improvement in the clubs finances and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my colleagues on the Board for their hard work in this regard and their support during the season. We have also, again this season, been extremely lucky in the support we have received from members in both official and voluntary capacities. All of our elected and appointed members are listed and named in this report and my sincere thanks again go out to all of them both personally and on behalf of the Club.
Andrew Statham. CHAIRMAN Newark RUFC. ADMINISTRATION AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
The season has largely been one of consolidation with regards to administration with Board and Forum meeting dates arranged at the start of the 2013/14 season. The club has continued its relationships with the RFU ,NLD and unions ,the club hosted the Notts Final’s day and U15 North v Midlands academies festival in early May with nothing but praise for the clubs facilities and ability to put on these events, our thanks to all helped on the day.
With many communications received daily from the RFU, NLD and various Unions we have endeavoured to communicate these via our Club website ranging from training workshops through to amended laws and advise about Volunteering, I wish to thank John Perkins for his ever stinting time and efforts in ensuring communications have been produced efficiently and within the scope of the site guidance.
We as a club, along with our regular programme, have on occasion welcomed fellow Rugby supporters from various parts of the country who on visiting the town have taken the opportunity of watching a game at Kelham Road and using our facilities, I have received nothing but praise for our great welcome and hospitality at the club, often the envy of visitors, this should be noted especially due to the hard work of John Beddoe and all members of the team, who again retained the Whistlers Trophy.
2014 has also seen the build up to the Rugby World Cup 2015 with 16 club members volunteering their services to fill some of the 6,000 positions to fill in a wide variety of roles. The Club has also carried out RWC ticket allocations according to the RFU with all members having a chance to make a purchase (subject to the on line system working!)
The end of the season has seen the HLM and VP appointment process take place and I am happy to report the two sub committee’s met and made their recommendations to the board, my thanks go to those who contributed with their time and thoughts.
Finally, I would like to thank my fellow board members for getting their reports to me on time and to all members for their words of support this season and to wish Newark Rugby Club a successful 2014/15 season.
Nick Poulson. Director, Administration and External Relations
PLAYING REPORT - SEASON 2013 / 2014
If last year was rather disappointing as far as results and performances were concerned, we always knew 2013-14 was going to be a challenge. But testimony to all the players who pulled on the blue and white shirt this year, they have responded in true Newark fashion and produced performances worthy of that. So as chairman I offer the following report which I definitely feel is something we can build on even more for next year.
Here are our playing statistics for the season 2013-14
Ist XV
League Played 26 Won 15 Lost 11
Finished 5th in Midlands East 1
Overall Played 31 Won 19 Lost 12
Winners of the N/L/D Vase
2nd XV
Pennant Played 16 Won 12 Drew 2 Lost 2
CHAMPIONS
Overall Played 27 Won 22 Drew 2 Lost 3
3rd XV
Pennant Played 18 Won 5 Drew 2 Lost 11
Finished 8th in the Pennant
Overall Played 28 Won 9 Drew 4 Lost 18
4th XV
Pennant Played 16 Won 6 Lost 10
Finished 7th in the Pennant
Overall Played 29 Won 14 Lost 15
As a club we Played 118 games, Won 65 Drew 6 Lost 47. If somebody had said that the 1’s would win the N/L/D shield and come 5th in the league- I think the majority of the players and members (me included) would have been very pleased. So yes it has been a good season and compared to last year there have been significant improvements on the playing side this year.
The season started in great fashion, 5 wins on the bounce, many against local N/L/D rivals - Mansfield, Ilkeston, Matlock and Market Rasen . The confidence and fitness of the players was clear to see. Could we be a promotional contender?
However defeats by Peterborough Lions, Bugbrooke and Derby before Christmas brought us back to reality. But there had been plenty to be positive about. Could we maintain our winning ways in the second half of the season? As always injuries to key players and player unavailability began to take its toll and further poor performances against Kettering away and Mansfield at home meant we slipped down the league table.
Thankfully, just when we needed it we produced 2 great home performances against Bugbrooke and Paviors. Roared on by a passionate home crowd on both occasions the players dug deep and produced two really determined and gritty performances. This was more like the Newark of early season. If we could win our last 3 games then a top four finish was on the cards, sadly it was not to be and the games were lost and we finished fifth. At the start of the season we would have definitely have taken this finish, but somehow based on where we were in November (challenging for promotion) it may have seemed a little disappointing.
Nevertheless we are in the main a young side with lots of potential and there are definitely signs based on this year’s performance in the league that we could finish higher next year. Let’s hope that the players continue to believe this. I know that I do and I am certain that Nathan does.
Thankfully the season finished on a high with the team winning the N/L/D shield. After last years disappointing result against Glossop the team certainly put it right this year with a comprehensive victory against Kesteven 43-7. It was a good all round team performance and provided us with some much needed silverware. Let’s hope we can reproduce this in the N/L/D cup next year!
Without doubt, one of the main factors that certainly could have contributed to an even better season was having available all our best players but due to an incredible list of injured players we struggled. Matt Cox, Neil Clarke, Matt Brewer, Freddie Tatham, Lewis Cove, Darren Gray and Mark Byrom, key players in our team, all missed more than 6 matches. There were also others Alex Moore, Joe Tinsley Chris Tate, and Budda who had slightly less time out but all of these players being unavailable definitely made us a weaker team.
Over 40 players played for the 1st XV this season, for me this is still too many. You may say that it is great that we can call on so many but on the other hand consistency is so vital to success. We very rarely were able to field the same team in 2 consecutive weeks. This ingredient does not give you a winning formula!
On a very positive note, it is great to report how our younger players continue to be given the opportunity to play for the 1st and 2nd XV. Ben Dixon, Rory Williams, Harry Adams and Hugh Faulkener to name but a few. Most importantly these youngsters are Newark players through and through, they have emerged from our youth teams, ‘home grown’ talent, something that we are definitely succeeding with, long may it continue. Congratulations to Ben Dixon on representing England at Under 18 level-well done
Finally, a massive well done and thank you to skipper Matt Clarke who has done a terrific job as skipper this year. In his first year at the helm he has really galvanised the lads and has been a real inspirational character both on and off the field.
The 2nd XV have built on last year’s success and thanks again to the fantastic work by skipper Mark Staines both on and off the pitch they were crowned N/L/D pennant champions. This had been the main target at the beginning of the season and to achieve this goal was testimony to all the hard work put in by the lads.
It really was a great season, 22 wins and only 3 defeats and some memorable victories and performances. Wins against Kettering, Bugbrooke and ON’s outside the Pennant (Both Home and Away) were impresive but wins over local rivals Paviors and Derby were very sweet. Over 60 players put on a second team shirt and there was always a real blend of experience and youth in the team.
Team morale has always been a key ingredient to this success and this in the main has been down to our skipper Mark Staines. Stainesy has led by example both on the pitch scoring 13 tries (not bad for a second row) and off the pitch in organising events. Special mention must also go to the player of the season Tom O’Leary who has played in 11 different positions- what commitment. Without doubt the second team has provided an ideal opportunity/background for those players with the ambition to play for the first team. To replicate this season’s success will be difficult but I am sure that the players will rise to the challenge and hopefully they can retain the 2nd XV pennant next year.
The 3rdXV have had a really difficult season. It started quite positively, highlight of the season was an amazing victory over Market Rasen with a club record 164-5 but since Christmas it has been difficult to get players to regularly commit to playing and this has been reflected in the results. Without a regular captain for much of the season, Tommy Pykett has done an unbelievable job rallying the troops and getting players on the pitch-I cannot speak too highly of the work that he has done. Recently Rhys Davies has done his bit to help him and it has been pleasing in the past few weeks to see a number of the third teamers down training on Thursday evening. Let’s hope this continue next season. The 4th XV have had a mixed season. After a good start in September and October, this was followed by a poor November and December when they only won twice. However with an unbeaten February, things looked to have improved. But unfortunately a disappointing set of results since have meant that the season ended on a disappointing note with no win in March or April. Even their mini tour to Skegness which is always a great social venture ended in defeat to the local hosts. Thanks must go to Martin Brown for all his hard work in organising ‘the troops’, the 4th teamers epitomise what social rugby is about and they continue to be a real asset and credit to the club.
After last year’s very successful player’s dinner, 70 players came this year. Hosted by Simon Wing, a really good evening was had by all. Excellent speeches and banter which was rounded off by the presentation of trophies.
1st XV player of the Year Matt Clarke
2nd XV player of the Year Tom O’Leary
3rd XV player of the Year Jacob Marchant
4th XV player of the Year Reece Dixon
Young player of the Year Ben Dixon
Most Improved player of the Year Nick Gilinsky
Coaches Player of the Year Ian Tomlinson
Can I just say a huge thank you to all the club sponsors, patrons, and members of Newark RUFC for all the support they have given the players this year- it has been as always tremendous and is something I know the players really appreciate.
Finally I need to say a few personal thank you’s to various people for all their hard work this year.
Thanks to our Team managers, Ian Gilchrist, Tommy Pykett and Martin Brown for all they have done sorting out the teams and looking after ‘the boys’. Great job.
Once again thanks to all the hard work of John Beddoe who has made sure that Newark is one of the most hospitable places to visit
Thanks to Steph and Gayle our club physiotherapists who have sorted out all the players aches and pains. In a year when we have had so many injuries they have been invaluable
Thanks to Rob Wildman for all his work on the fixtures. With no postponements this year, life has been a little easier.
Thanks to Barry and Tony for their great work running the line for the 1st XV. Thanks to Luke Staton for all his endeavours in trying to keep our players fit. I have no doubt that we were the fittest team in the league and this showed on many occasions particularly in the second half.
Thanks to Graham Mcfarlane and his ground staff for making sure we CONTINUE to have the best pitches in the 3 counties.
Finally finally!!! My sincere and personal thanks to Nathan for all his hard work and enthusiasm as club Coach.
There is no doubt that Nathan has been at the heart of our success this season. He has not only done a great job on the coaching front but he also has instilled belief and confidence in the players. Thank you Nathan .
Here’s to 2014-15 and more success on the field for Newark.
Richard Byrom. - Director Playing
FACILITIES
Ground
In total contrast to last season when we have not had to cancel a single game or a training session this season. The only casualty to the weather was the antiques fair scheduled for the 5th of February which had to be called off because it was too wet. Despite the extra use all the pitches still looked well at the end of the season. A total of 135 games were played (Compared to 112 last season) 54 on pitch 1.
Reseeding of all 5 pitches was completed immediately after the season finished and we appear to be getting a reasonable establishment.
We suffered a ‘break in’ in late February which resulted in severe damage to the entrance gates and the tractor. Insurance claims in excess of £6000 have been approved and the work to repair the pillars and fit the new gates will be completed shortly, hopefully before the AGM
Clubhouse
A new gas hot air heater was installed in July last year which is far more efficient than the old one. This has proved a success as it heats the clubhouse quickly and is using much less gas.
No other major alterations to report but general maintenance and repairs carried out as and where and when required. Lettings
I am pleased to report there has been a substantial increase in non-rugby lettings this year. A real effort has been made to promote the clubhouse and grounds resulting in new bookings from Right Track, Active Life Style, E-on and Ben Whittaker’s Antique Fairs. Income from non-rugby lets this year is £8790 to date compared to £971 last year. Very grateful thanks to Wendy and, latterly, Rachael for all the hard work they put in to achieving such a fantastic result.
Another very busy time for our caterers this season. Karen Roberts ‘Scrummy Catering’ has continued to provide an excellent service, with food of a high standard and has coped well with some very busy weekends. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen and her staff for all their efforts.
After many years ‘active service’ we have had to replace the oven and range as it was becoming increasingly unreliable.
Staff
As John Fenton requested a reduction in hours it was decided to organise a job share in July last year. As a result Matt Lockwood was employed to work 24 hours per week reducing John’s hours to 16. Matt has fitted in without any problems and I am very pleased to report they are working well together
Finally, I would like to thank John Fenton and Matt Lockwood for all the hard work and effort they have put in over the past year. They are both self motivating and not afraid to tackle most jobs. The ground and the clubhouse are a real credit to them both and the envy of many visiting clubs.

Building our Future- Report for the AGM
Objective
Our goal is to raise £200,000 before Christmas 2015. This will enable us, all being well, to have our new Clubhouse built in 2017 or 2018, well in time for our Centenary in 2019.
Launches
The ‘Building our Future’ program was formally launched on Sunday 6th April to a large crowd. Several senior players joined in the mini coaching and also enjoyed an impromptu touch session with the coaches and kids. A quality launch brochure had been produced outlining our Clubhouse plans and which will be distributed again at the start of next season.
Newark Old Boys John Wells and Tom Rider contributed to the carnival atmosphere. They were kept busy signing autographs and having their photos taken. Ernie Brummitt gave an excellent introductory speech before the details of the fund-raising were explained. There are some excellent photos of the day on the web site.
Matt Cove had arranged for a novelty magnetic fund raising barometer to be erected above the bar. This will chart our progress towards our £200,000 target over the coming months.
We also had a launch to the Senior Club on Saturday April 12th at both the sponsor’s lunch and after the last 1st XV home game of the season.
Fund raising
There are 3 major initiatives that we are undertaking that will make up the £200,000.
Individual Member/Group initiatives- Target £50,000
Our Club has over 1,000 members, when taking into account all mini, youth & girl players and their parents, senior players, supporters and other non-playing members.
All we are asking is for individuals to raise a minimum of £50. Organise something, have some fun, share the photos and give the donation to the Club. All relevant documentation is available on our web site at www.newarkrugby.com
If you raise £25 you will receive a Building our Future wristband, and for £100 you can opt for either a tasteful tie or scarf.
We will be holding ‘The £Grand£ Challenge’ where all teams from U6’s to the 1st XV will be encouraged to work together to raise £1,000 each. For any event held at the Club, 50% of bar takings will be allocated to the fund raising amount. Events already being planned include a breakfast before England v All Blacks, a Building our Future Golf Day, fattening a calf, the Newark Festival in June and our own Beer festival in August. Donate a Brick- Target £100,000
We have 2,000 bricks available, with a donation of £50 securing an engraved brick with your chosen name in the foyer of the new Clubhouse. Over 120 bricks have already been taken. You can order and pay for the bricks on-line via the Club web site or by filling in the forms at the Club.
Enhanced Corporate Sponsorship Packages- Target £50,000
We launched a new high quality Corporate Sponsorship brochure 2 weeks ago offering companies the opportunity to invest anything from £50 to £6,000+. The Gold & Silver packages offer a variety of attractive promotional activities, as well as including tickets for 6 Nations Internationals at Twickenham. Working closely with the John Cooke & the existing Sponsorship Committee, we are offering these packages to existing sponsors initially, with other targeted companies being selected as potential candidates.
Results to date
Over £3,000 from members fund-raising efforts and donations Over £6,000 from the donate a brick campaign Pledges for a minimum of £7,000 for the Enhanced Corporate Hospitality packages
External Funding
We have commissioned a third party report detailing which external fund raising opportunities will be available over the coming months. As soon as we have £50,000 raised, we will begin the application process.
Following a meeting with Pete Shaw last week, the RFU has re-affirmed that it is highly likely that we would attract a grant of £80,000, plus an interest free 15 year loan of an additional £100,000.
New Clubhouse
Initial potential plans and artist’s impressions are on display in the Clubhouse. Matt Cove will be producing some 3D visuals for the forthcoming season.
Further work on planning for the actual building is on hold until our fund-raising reaches the £50,000 marker. Thanks
The fund-raising sub-committee, spanning all sections of our Club, has worked hard to bring the various campaigns to fruition. Thanks go to: Barry Thompson, Matt Cove, Alan Staines, Spencer Stevenson, Steve Armstrong & Martin Brummitt. Valuable assistance has also been given by Richard Staniforth, Rob Wildman & David Duddles.
Summary
We have made an excellent start to the various campaigns. Let’s now work together, throughout the Club, to raise the funds that will enable our new Clubhouse to become a reality, worthy of our respected position as the leading Junior Club in the East Midlands- with facilities to match.
Alan Swain. - Director People
SPONSORSHIP
This year we had again great support from our sponsors, all tables were sold for match day lunches and we thank the on-going support for these days. Pitch side advertising boards have remained strong and we now have 73 boards, at a price of £250 each and we look forward to their support in the new season.
John Gelsthorpe has run the half back draw for the past two seasons and it remains a good source of income for the club. One thing that the club needs to think about is someone now to help John and later to take over this role.
The support for the club program has been good this season and we are looking forward to the same level of support for the forthcoming season.
Overall, we on the sponsorship committee are pleased with the support the club generates and are now looking forward and planning for the new season.
John Cook. - Director Sponsorship Mini & Youth Report 2013/14
Another tremendous successful season for our mini & youth section. How do we measure that success? I am sure everybody has their own thoughts on that. However we decided this year to ask that question of ourselves and a lot of hard work was put in by the coaches along with Nick Scott and myself to develop a “Mini & Youth Club Charter”. The development of that Charter came out with the following of what we wanted to see as “success.” Having been on the ground and watching the hard work of all concerned I think we are on the right track!!
1. Develop the Competence of every child in their squad by improving their physical literacy; core Rugby skills and encouraging healthy activity;
2. Grow the Confidence of every child in their squad by listening to them; giving them opportunities to express themselves; influence the shape of training and by setting differentiated tasks that allow each child to achieve success regardless of ability;
3. Develop the Character of every child in their squad by setting out the values of Rugby; modelling high personal standards of behaviour and insisting on the same high standards from players;
4. Develop the Connection of every child in their squad by being approachable; giving players responsibility for each other; encouraging them to make full use of the Club and its facilities and ensuring that they host opposing teams well;
5. Develop the Creativity of every child in their squad by involving them in the development of sessions; encouraging their feedback on the games they enjoy and giving them space to develop
Under 6’s (formerly known as Multi Skills)
Ex-players Spencer Stevenson and Chris Coen assisted by Harvey Duddles kicked of the season with bags of enthusiasm and found themselves quickly surrounded by one of the largest groups of Multi Skills the club has seen! If you wanted to see children enjoying their first experience at a rugby club then this was the group to observe. Having great fun and a bouncy castle to finish off the season to boot!
Under 7’s
In their first season of tag rugby Simon Parkes and his band of coaches are developing the squad with great togetherness. Simon’s enthusiasm and focus on developing a true “club” atmosphere is evident at all their sessions. Skills and team spirit are high on the agenda and tasting their first season playing against other clubs has helped developed their rugby ethic. The squad also have hit the national scene by having their sessions photographed for the RFU website! Lights, camera action!
Under 8’s
The clubs largest group of players has called for the clubs largest band of coaches and helpers. Head Coach Alan Staines has surrounded himself with a committed bunch of guys to help develop the players in their last season of tag rugby, ready for next season’s first contact encounters. With the small sided game Alan has also used his charm and persuasive powers to gain the largest playing area!! In true rugby style he also introduced the squad to their first tour, tour shirts and all! Without parents!
Under 9’s
In their first year of contact rugby the Under 9’s have adapted admirably. We all know that cream rises to the top and this has been evident with Peter Bell taking on the mantle of lead coach Whilst contact rugby can sometimes diminish the squad it has not affected this group. Numbers have stayed strong and constantly put out two sides in club matches. The squad have had a good social focus with a tour to deepest Lincolnshire adding to the fun!!
Under 10’s
Charles Paley has worked tirelessly with his group and as the first group to work under “New Rules of Play” has had to develop his coaching team to suit. With 28 registered players the age group is maintaining great numbers and as they approach the larger sided game they will be in a great position going forward.
Under 11’s
This group are sharply focused on skill and game development. Danny Coen in his own inimitable way has got his squad performing probably above their years. With a dedicated group of coaches they have seen an increase in playing numbers and are rapidly fast tracking the “newbies” up to speed to add to a number of highly talented players. Entering the competitive arena in the NLD competition this season brought the first silverware for the club after a close encounter with Stamford but nevertheless coming out as winners. Sign of things to come?
Under 12’s
Logan Tweedie, Will Laughton and stalwart Shane Ishmail have worked tremendously hard as a team in shaping this squad in readiness for next seasons move “Through the Hedge” to the 15 man game and full size pitches. It is worth reflecting that not that long ago this group were the smallest in the club (in numbers) and am sure we feared that they would struggle to progress. Nothing further from the truth!!! The numbers are now around that magical 30 players needed and they have proved themselves admirably in the competitive arena of their age group. Following the club philosophy generated with the “Charter” this is definitely “rugby for all” with a strong emphasis on equal game time and skill development. Narrowly beaten in their NLD competition all is well for the challenges of next season, representing Newark RUFC, resplendent in their new club ties.
Under 13’s
Head Coach Adam Doran and sidekicks Level 2 coaches Jamie Matts and Nick Law have moulded this squad to surpass all expectations! Playing numbers have been unbelievable with no one turned away. I know of no other club in the NLD and probably further afield that have put out 2 sides of mixed ability on a regular basis! Highlights have got to be their first experience of playing on Pitch 1 in front of a large crowd defeating Nottingham Corsairs in their first NLD Cup encounter. Amazing! That was only surpassed by being this season’s first NLD Cup finalist and eventual winners against a strong Derby side that could not cope with the open rugby they played. From then on it just got better. Led by Adam’s enthusiasm and experience they progressed impressively. Always a group to enjoy the social side of the game they went on their annual tour, this time introducing themselves to sunny Devon!
Under 14’s
Another great season for Mark Jenkins squad. Mark still has 20+ players that started with him 7 years ago! If anybody needs to know the answer of retention of youth then here is the example. Once again following the “rugby for all” ethic and equal game time here is a great example. Maybe not the win at all costs that some clubs/coaches advocate but nevertheless not many side get the better of these boys! Making the NLD final was a great achievement but unfortunately not managing to overcome a very strong Corsairs side. Playing a number of games out of the NLD area to find good testing rugby has proved to be beneficial in benchmarking their performances. Again a tour to foreign shores (Gloucestershire!) proved a great deal of fun!
Under 15’s
We really do have strength in the youth section and this age group emphasises that strength. Unbeaten nearly all season only falling short in the NLD Cup final again against a strong Corsairs outfit. Glen Lever and his coaching group have a clear focus what they are about. It is player development and equal game time. A great club ethic with enjoyment top of the list! Another group that embrace a tour, this time an “Its Grim up North Tour” to the Sale festival. Emphatic winners, and nicely timed to watch Sale v Tigers and get themselves live on BT Sport!!! Representing the club in all their glory!!! A number of players have played up with the U16s and fitted in tremendously. All good for next season. Player of the year James Martin proudly played for Leicester Tigers U15s in the Academy 12s tournament at the end of the season. Well done.
Under 16’s
Consistently strong throughout their age groups, the Under 16’s have continued to be one of the most successful sides in the East Midlands. With a lack of players they were unfortunate to come up against a strong Glossop side in the semi-finals in the NLD Cup and missed out of having a crack against their old sparring partners Nottingham Corsairs in the final. Nevertheless silverware was still in the cabinet when they retained the NLD Sevens title in some style! Now to progress to next seasons Colts they will be looking forward to make their mark in NLD and National Competitions. Paul Caldwell and his supporting team should be proud of their squad which has seen a number selected for the NLD squad and the icing on the cake with James Newman heading off to Leicester Tigers Academy having represented England Saxons U16s!!
Colts
What started as a difficult season has ended with great credit to all the players along with Steve Hogg and supporting coaches. Combined as one age group as under 19s, the U17/18/19’s, have combined to form a strong band of young men that we can be proud of. They have epitomised the meaning of teamwork and friendship. Results have not been important as the same bunch of guys that started out finished the season in style showing their potential for next season at Colt and Senior level. The “success” of our Colts can be measured in many ways and the fact that 13 of these guys made their debut for our senior sides should be celebrated.
Girls
The Newark Girls merged with Paviors girls again this season to form NewPavs under 15's and under 13's. at the start of the season only having 9 players at under 15's we thought it was going to be a long season. The Girls Started well beating Burton away and narrowly losing to Wellingborough. All the NewPavs Girls where selected for NLD and all played a part in all the games. The season carried on getting better with new players starting to show up at training and the team bonded well in what was the first season at contact rugby for most of the girls. Great wins over Market Harborough/Melton Mowbray and the highest win of the season scoring 85 points against Melbourne closed the season off with League stats of Played 12 won 8, lose 4 with 419 points scored and 246 points against, a total of 45 league points including bonus points. This gave the girls third position in the league which was a fantastic effort only losing to the top 2 sides. The Under 13's trained well and had a few friendly games through the year. Recruitment is on-going and hoping that the under 13's will have a more structured format for 2014/2015. The end of the season saw the girls go down to the Grasshoppers 10's tournament at the Wasps training ground to compete with some well organised southern sides. All going on a mini bus the girls had a great time and performed well, only losing to the eventual winners of the competition in the qualifying rounds, they also entered the National 7's tournament at Lichfield and where knocked out in the semi-final stages. The end of year presentation saw the girls having a fantastic time with a BBQ, with a sleep over, and many party games.
The future is bright for girl’s rugby at Newark as more and more girls are showing an interest and with over 25 players turning up for training towards the end of the season and more expected pre-season I believe this is the start of a good future in girls/women rugby

NRUFC – Annual Bar Review May 2014
Whilst this is an annual Bar Review it obviously does not include the full year’s figures given the July year end.
The report has been produced by Bar Secretary Gary Hobbs
Summary
The bar has had a particularly good year thus far in respect of both turnover and margin. The relatively good weather has played a big part in this as hardly any fixtures have had to be postponed or cancelled which has been the case in previous years. The club never fully makes up for this loss in revenue even after the postponed games are finally played.
Another ingredient is the consistency of bar staff in particular the Bar Manager Dave Roberts and Deb Christian (who acts as a deputy to the Bar Manager on various occasions).
Positives during year
Mild weather – hardly any cancelled/postponed games Increased turnover and margin Continuity of bar staff Notts Finals 4th May Continued success and popularity of ‘Happy Days’ initiative Sock spends at club house Teams returning to club house after away games Cask Mark accreditation renewed
The club bar is now a recognised and acknowledged LocAle venue as defined and accredited by CAMRA. In addition the club has received Cask Marque accreditation for the second year running. The club is what is known as a ‘Destination Venue i.e. people need to drive to it so this will always restrict our potential turnover as people become ever more vigilant around the effects of alcohol and driving. The club can increase the turnover by encouraging individuals, teams, members to stay at the club for a drink or two. The ‘Happy Days’ initiative has now been successfully run for 3 years and it is believed that this encourages players, members and supporters to stay longer in the bar after matches.
The Bar Secretary has to make a number of decisions that will maximise profit (given the fundraising importance of the bar) and at the same time provide a service to the club. This on occasions will result in the bar being open when costs may not be covered and on other occasions adopting a commercial view in response to various well meaning suggestions. It is hoped that the board would agree that this balance has been achieved throughout the year.
Current Figures
Year to Date - 1st August 2013 – 1st May 2014 (9 months)
This Year Last Year Variance
Revenue £65,740 £57,545 £8,195
Gross Margin £38,328 £32,947 £5,381
Products and suppliers
There are NO minimum orders and the bar is NOT tied to any supplier
The main suppliers to the bar are:-
Beers, wines and spirits - George Bateman and Son Ltd, Mill Lane, Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, PE24 4EJ
The main products Batemans supply are Batemans XB, Fosters Lager, Guinness and John Smith’s
Soft drinks -ASD Wholesale Ltd, Cromleigh House, Brookside Way, Huthwaite , Sutton in Ashfield, Notts, NG17 2NL
Popular Drinks and Pricing
The most popular drinks served during the year were:-- 1. Batemans Cask Ale (usually ‘XB’) £3 per pint 2. Fosters Lager £3 per pint 3. Guest Cask Ale (usually local) £3 per pint
All prices are reviewed by the Bar Secretary and Bar Manager at regular intervals. Prices remain locally competitive.
Events
During the recent six nations a series of events were organised to encourage use of the bar. These have never been very successful unless they abut a first team game. It is suggested that the club start to consider events around the Rugby Worlds Cup 2015 as early as possible.
Beer Festival
The club is intending to hold a beer festival on 22nd and 23rd August 2014. This could prove to be a good fundraiser for the club but is very much an experiment and it remains to be seen how much of a success it will be. The current Bar Secretary is assisting where he can with this event but cannot take responsibility for the management and running of it. Currently there is an extremely small group of people organising what is a very complex event and the board must take account of this.
Bar Secretary
Gary Hobbs took over as Bar Chairman on 3rd June 2010 from Steve Cassells and is stepping down at the end of the season 31st July 2014 after a four year tenure.
Licenses
Premises License
The club currently has a Premises licenses (rather than a Club Certificate.) This is the most appropriate license given the nature of events at the club. Reference 001085
The Premises license states the areas of the club that are licensed and the times that it is licensed to sell alcohol. The clubs terms are very flexible indeed with the club house and the entire grounds are covered which means functions can take place and alcohol sold over the entire estate. In addition the club is licensed from 9:00am – 2:00am for seven days a week. The club is also licensed for to sell alcohol from 08:00 am for televised national or international al rugby events – 14 days written notice to the Licensing Authority (Newark and Sherwood District Council)
Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS)
As well as a Premise License the club must also have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). The individual must have a Personal License.
The Bar Secretary (acting as DPS) has formally authorised Dave Roberts, Deborah Christian, Richard Staniforth, and Karen Roberts to sell alcohol on his behalf. This formal notification is kept in the cellar area and must be produced if asked for by the licensing authorities. It is important that one of the individuals named is in charge of the bar at any given time. If none are present then the bar should not be opened.
The DPS licensee for the Club is currently the Bar Secretary Gary Hobbs. Gary has agreed to be named as the DPS after 31st July 2014 until the club has found a suitable solution for a reasonable period (6 months) but this is not really a satisfactory route. The DPS should have executive powers and be regularly involved with bar policies. I.e. Gary is still responsible should there be a license breach.
It is actually not a major task to obtain a Personal License. This consists of a 1-2 day course with a cost of approximately £200. Batemans Brewery for instance runs a course a few times each year.
Another option would be for the current Bar Manager Dave Roberts to be named as the DPS as he also has a Personal License. This is not ideal as it puts additional responsibility onto Dave as well as exposing the club should staff changes take place.
Under Age Drinking
It has not been a big issue at the club but constant vigilance is required with so many young people using the club.
No one under 18 can purchase alcohol from the bar at any time.
Those over 16 can only be bought alcohol (beer or wine) by a responsible person over 18 if being consumed during a sit down meal. This does not extend to eating chips or hotdogs casually in the bar. It must be a formal sit down meal and alcohol can only be served during the eating of the meal itself.
If jugs of shandy are asked for those under 18 then only that in cans can be used regardless of the proportions of lemonade to beer mixed. Wastage and Allowances
It is accepted best practice that the ‘lines’ from the cellar to the pumps are cleaned every 7 days. The bar currently has 13 lines in total and an estimated wastage figure is around 3 pints per line, per clean (week).
Clubs such as Newark RUFC have particularly challenges in managing real ale as the club is not open every day. This means that a cask opened at the weekend is unlikely to be in good enough condition for sale the following week. If there are no functions mid week then this can result in significant wastage. The Bar Manager is particularly good at managing this however and the wastage has been reduced significantly since he took over the post (in years gone by this was a very big issue). This will result on occasions when no real ale is available, particularly out of season but at other times as well.
Looking Ahead
New Bar Secretary New DPS (Licensee) Maintain consistency and continuity of staff Maintain and increase turnover and margin (weather being a key factor) Encourage more members and guests to visit bar (support of entire board required) Continuing to run events around the bar (such as the Six Nations/World Cup) Encourage individuals to volunteer for bar rotas and other volunteering World Cup 2015 Input into new clubhouse

In this report last year, I said that the club needs to explore other avenues of income generation if it wants to ensure that it can continue operating at the level it currently is and also ensure a meaningful surplus is made annually.
It is therefore particularly pleasing to report that this year we have seen a significant improvement in the financial results for the club, as the figures above testify.
Detailed comparisons are shown below in the detailed accounts, but the main key reasons for the improvement are significant increases in the following;
Net bar income Catering income Advertising Non Rugby lettings Fireworks Night ( Record takings ever!!) Legends Dinner
A big thank you needs to be said to all involved in the above for the time, effort and commitment they have showed in making the year a real success from a revenue perspective.
The only real disappointment this year has been the level of senior subscriptions. Whilst up on last year they are somewhere short of the projections that were made last year when the current level of subscriptions was introduced.
Collecting subscriptions is an ongoing and perennial issue and for the coming year the strategy of collecting players’ subs has been put firmly in the hands of the playing committee to come up with ideas of improving collections and enforcing that players pay. It simply is not acceptable that some players pay and others do not.
This year also saw the launch of the “Building Our Future” fund raising campaign in April. The objective is to raise £200,000 by December 2015. The figures below include just the initial donations received in the first couple of weeks of £6k.
A lot will be asked of members to continue support the club in our normal fund raising activities as well as support the new initiatives. I am confident though, having sat on a number of the fundraising committee meetings and hearing the plans that are being put in place, that this target is very achievable and this time next year we will be able to announce that we are not far away from achieving our objective.
Please support the campaign whenever you can and encourage fellow members to do so at all opportunities.
Whilst highlighting the successes of this year in terms of revenue generation, it should be noted that our cost base will also increase and new forms of repeatable revenue generation ideas need to be explored alongside the potential one off efforts for the “Building Our Future” campaign.
The nine month figures above do not show the takings from Newark Show, for a long time our long standing annual primary fund raising event. This year unfortunately, due to no fault of our own, we have had the lowest amount we have ever raised from the event. Our revenue is £2,000 down from last year, £5,000 from the year before and £2,000 down from the average of the last 8 years. I think none of us can be sure which way next year will go, but this event cannot be relied upon as the “banker” it maybe has been seen as in the past as the cornerstone of revenue.
New events are planned and it is very pleasing to see one, our first ever Club Beer festival in August, championed by our President, moving from just an idea to an actual event, through a lot of hard work and commitment. This though will require a significant outlay by the club and is prudently budgeted to break even this year. The hope though is that it is a very successful event and forms the spring board for a repeatable event for years to come if it becomes more and more popular. One of our fellow league members, Peterborough, hold one annually and it is their major fund raising event of the year. Please, please support it if you can.
But we will need more similar ideas, not just this year and but for future years as well.
During the year we have also seen a change in personnel in respect of the paid post of Club Administrator. After many years of diligent and some may say beyond the call of duty service, Wendy Boas, decided to move onto pastures new in February. After what initially seemed a big hole to fill, we managed to secure the services of Rachel Darcey, who has now been with us since March, and will already be known to many.
She has proved already to be a very capable and proactive in the role. Sometimes what may be seen as a problem, but on reflection presents an opportunity. I firmly believe that this is the case here. Whilst not wanting to detract from the great work that Wendy did, a fresh face has new ideas, and Rachel has many on how to further improve the smooth running of the club. For those who have not yet met Rachel, please make yourself known if the opportunity arises and give her your full support in her new role.
