1 | Page Hertfordshire Rugby Football Union President: John Gregory Hertfordshire Rugby Football Union President: John Gregory CHAIRMAN’S SUPPLEMENT NEWSLETTER MARCH 2020 I write to you only a few days after my last newsletter in unprecedented times for our game and our country. All of this newsletter is devoted to CoronaVirus – Covid19 and what we in the Hertfordshire R.F.U. are doing in response to the R.F.U. closure of the game from 17th March 2020 to 14th April 2020 and then the subsequent announcement today (20th March 2020) from Bill Sweeney announcing the end of the 2019/20 rugby season for all league, cup and county rugby in England. Firstly let me say that Hertfordshire R.F.U. wish all of you good health in these trying times. In making decisions on Hertfordshire Rugby the paramount importance is the individual and their health and safety. Anyway over the next few days your club will be contact by your Hertfordshire R.F.U. Executive Club Liaison Member (up to date list at end of this newsletter). They will collect information about you worries and concerns and feed them back to Simon Embleton (Secretary), David Roberts (R.F.U. Council Member) and myself. Your Club Liaison Member will remain in contact with you on a regular basis throughout this crisis. David Roberts may also contact you from an R.F.U. perspective as he gathers data for the R.F.U. to respond to an ever changing picture. Before I start setting out exactly where we are doing in Hertfordshire I want to make an important announcement. As of today, the “Herts RFU Capital Loan Scheme is Extended”. As of today, clubs will be able to apply for a “CoronaVirus” emergency loan of up to £5000 from Hertfordshire R.F.U. This loan will be interest free over a period of 3 years. It is for serious club hardship and not just “an interest free loan”. Repayments will be deferred and the first repayment will be made 2 months after the national emergency is over and conditions in the country and rugby are declared “normal”. This scheme in the first instance will remain open for applications until 31st August 2020. It may be extended beyond that date if the situation has not resolved itself. Clubs who wish to apply for a loan will need to download the “capital loan” application forms from our website and fill them in. They should supply an explanation of the hardship their club is in, and how they intend to use the loan to help them through the CoronaVirus emergency. Completed applications should be sent to Colin Ashwood (Director of Club Development) e-mail:- [email protected] So let’s go back in time. Up until Monday 16th March 2020 we had been giving the advice on our website and through personal contact as given to us by the 1 | P a g e R.F.U. that the game followed government advice and continued. I know limited games were played over the weekend 14th and 15th March. This all changed at about 4-30pm on that Monday when the R.F.U. on its website made the following announcement under the headline “RFU Suspends All Activity”. “Following government advice, the RFU will suspend all rugby activity in England, at both professional and community level. Rugby activity includes club training, league and cup matches plus rugby education courses from 17 March until 14 April subject to continued review. The decision has been taken following government advice in the interests of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider rugby union community. Where possible, players at all levels are encouraged to maintain their own personal fitness and keep active during this time, while following government guidelines about safe distance and safe exercise environments. The RFU will continue to review and monitor government advice and will provide detailed updates on the impact to the season in the coming weeks.” Tim Bonnett, David Roberts and myself attended a Herts Youth and Mini Committee meeting that night and after the meeting posted the above and following messages on our website. These are still valid. The first was the exact text of the R.F.U. statement as it appeared on their website and the second was from Tim Bonnett under the heading, “Comments From Hertfordshire RFU on Suspension of Rugby”. It reads and the majority is still valid (with the exception of the schools which we now know will close today Friday 20th March 2020:- “It is fully understood that this situation will be very challenging for many clubs. Clubs with particular issues should contact David Roberts our RFU Council member for advice and support [email protected] The clubs due to host Mini and Youth end of season festivals will be contacted in the next few days and the viability of planning for events on Sunday 26th April that may not be possible to stage will be considered. Please watch this web site for news on these events. Any clubs planning tours are strongly advised to follow the below advice: Club to check : · Government website for travel to that particular country – bearing in mind it changes daily (if travelling abroad) · local hosts re current conditions and plans · host union (French, Welsh and Scottish Rugby Unions have cancelled all rugby ) · Accommodation venue, travel operator and travel insurance 2 | P a g e · Festival / event organiser if applicable · Parents considerations and concerns – hold a meeting, they must have a voice in the decision Any decision on whether the club’s tour continues is a matter for the club. Hertfordshire RFU is not going to ban tours – we do not have that authority. As schools are continuing to operate, the RFU stipulation does not at this time apply to sport in schools. This situation is changing daily.” Then yesterday the 18th March we received another Community Game Update from the R.F.U. and again I shall quote it fully. We would like to thank everyone for their great efforts in implementing the changes that were required following our most recent announcement on Covid- 19, which resulted in all rugby activity in England being suspended. We now want to provide you with the latest updates following the advice given by the government. We continue to review the implications of the government’s advice on the wider aspects of the community game. There are still a number of other matters to be resolved and we will provide further information regularly through this communication, unless there is an urgent need to do otherwise. Cancellation of forthcoming activities. The following activities have been cancelled with immediate effect: The Adult Male Future Competition Structure consultation sessions due to take place between Monday 23 March to Tuesday 14 April - all those booked on these sessions will be contacted. The aim is to ensure a decision on future structures is taken by the Friday 12 June Council meeting, a new plan for consultations will be communicated in due course. The Growing the Female Game regional conferences due to take place between Monday 23 March to Sunday 17 May - we will contact all registered participants over the course of this week. All England Rugby training courses - scheduled to start between Tuesday 17 March to Thursday 30 April - we will contact participants already booked on courses, who will be refunded. We will process refunds as soon as possible. However, we are currently experiencing high volumes of requests so please bear with us. A decision regarding courses due to start in May/June will be made based on guidance from Public Health England. England Counties - in light of the recent advice against overseas travel, we 3 | P a g e have taken the decision to cancel the following England Counties tournaments: • England Counties U18s home matches against Ireland - 14 to 18 April • England Counties U20s tour to Georgia - 17 to 28 May • England Seniors tour to Romania - 1 to 10 June. The decision has been taken in the interests of players, coaches, medics and volunteers who lead these programmes. All Rugby 365 bookings through to Tuesday 14 April - customers and host clubs have been contacted. Full refunds will be made in respect of all cancellations. Bookings from Wednesday 15 April onwards will be reviewed. Other important updates. In addition to the above cancellations, we would like to provide clarity regarding the following areas: Support for clubs – we are investigating a range of options to provide support for clubs and hope to communicate more information next week. We are also in close contact with the government to get further details on how the changes announced by the Chancellor yesterday might benefit rugby clubs, e.g. business rates. Adult competitions - we are currently looking into the implications on, and options for, the conclusion of our Adult Men’s and Adult Women’s competitions for this season. This review work is expected to take the next few weeks and a final position is unlikely to be clear until April. Age Grade season and competitions - the regulated Age Grade season finishes for clubs, schools and colleges on Sunday 10 May. We are aware that the current suspension of all rugby until Tuesday 14 April impacts on some competitions, we are exploring options on this and any updated position will follow once available. Further information will be made available if and when interim decisions are taken. Rugby in schools and colleges – our advice for rugby is clear and means no rugby activity and/or competitions staged in the education sector by us or the Constituent Bodies. However, schools and colleges govern their own PE, curriculum and enrichment activity, therefore they should take guidance from their local education authority, governing body or academy trust.

Our connection goes back to 2002 when Chris Palmer (Cuffley RFC) introduced us to both Bob Weston (Chairman) and Stuart Thomas (Gr Finance Dir) and since then we have had a most fantastic relationship. We are so grateful for their incredible support whether on the field, in the clubhouse, on the golf course and of course helping to finance the amazing growth we have witnessed over the past 10 years in the playing numbers. There is no question that if we hadn’t had such generous financial support from them then the game of rugby would not be in such good health in Hertfordshire. During this period Herts Rugby has seen success on the field as follows, 2012 County Champions, 2012 U 20’s Jason Leonard Trophy, 2011 County Championship finalists, 2009 County Shield finalists and 2015 County Shield Champions. For a small county we fight well above our weight and this is down to superb preparation which couldn’t happen without sponsors of the like of Weston Homes.

It really is a pleasure and an honour to be Town Clerk here. The Town Council continues to deliver a huge amount across the Town and credit must go to the officers and volunteers that help us to do so much.

As I write this, surrounded by Christmas decorations and full of mince pies, the thermometer is nudging 14 degrees and my lawn needs cutting. The weather has been kind to us with the fixture list uninterrupted. A word of thanks to John Gregory and all involved in the Jack Marshall Honours Table. Graham Walker This paints a picture of Herts Rugby across the piste, and it looks well. Hertfordshire RFU President O.A’s, Tring and Watford lead the pack, with seventeen of our twenty seven clubs having a 50% or better win percentage. Underpinning that, is a sense of optimism, with many clubs fielding at least three sides. Running clubs remains a sense of duty, but the friendships made last a lifetime and are invaluable. Chris Rainbow and his team are already plotting the campaign for our county championship assault. We have two home games, Kent, Cornwall and an away fixture to Gloucester. Our squad are capable of competing with the best.

The HRFU Xmas Lunch organised by John Vain took place for the first time at The RAF Club, Piccadilly where we drank them dry of beer. The Returning Students Festival run by Peter Engledow and his team in late December started it all off and what a great evening of rugby that was. It also included two teams battling it out in the clubhouse in a “Boat Race” rather than play their final game, great rugby spirit!! On the 21s January the first ever HRFU Former Players Dinner was held at Hertford with 120 in attendance and great visits down memory lane held everyone captive till the early hours. The Annual Dinner was once again well attended with guest speaker Aaron James keeping us amused.
