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 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. Your contributions allow the club to maintain and improve our facilities, which in turn allows all our squads to flourish and play the game we love. I would like to thank you for your continued support, personally and on behalf of Biggar Rugby Club. The world-renowned firm of Halls of are our Main Sponsors. It is an honour that this large, locally owned, business has supported us over the past six years and look forward to our continued relationship working for our mutual benefit. We again held our 7s tournament in May and it was a huge success and is becoming a fixture in the spring calendar. The “Big Weekend” as it is known culminated with a concert from Tidelines, who were a huge success. It is certainly a weekend not to miss! Biggar Rugby Club is continuing to grow as a family friendly club with an eye to the future as a centre of youth rugby excellence. We continue to promote our philosophy of “One Club, One Family” Our senior squads will have a serious challenge this year, competing against some of the top sides in Scotland. A mouth-watering season of fixtures await. Please join us, your sponsorship is the lifeblood of our club which will help our club grow and improve. I would again extend my thanks on behalf of Biggar rugby club to all our existing sponsors, and hopefully in this hugely exciting year we can welcome you as a new sponsor to HartreeMill.

ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY The Story of Season 2018/19 by Alistair Stewart

Biggar RFC: Tennents Club of the Season 2018/19 WHAT an incredible achievement! This award, made at the SRU/Tennents Club Awards, held at The Corn Exchange in in May, provided the absolute icing on the cake on what has been a quite remarkable season for Biggar RFC. The award reflects the huge amount of team work from the membership and its supporters, which has been fundamental to the club throughout its short history and which is summed up perfectly in the Club strapline One Club, One Family Last season was particularly successful on a number of different fronts, all of which are designed to provide the best opportunities for young and old, female and male to enjoy this wonderful sport. The following is a selection of the achievements and advances made by the club throughout last season and which undoubtedly influenced the judges in their decision. These are in no particular order: • Biggar RFC won the RBS Rugby Force application with International stars Stuart Hogg, , Lana Skeldon and Megan Kennedy appearing at the club to assist in maintenance tasks and coaching. • Biggar RFC were listed as one of only a handful of clubs to qualify as being of Gold Standard • 1 st XV gain promotion as CHAMPIONS to National 1, posting an unrivalled playing record of Played 22 Won 21 Lost 1, Points for 871 Points Against 169. • 2 nd XV secured their place in Reserve National Div 2. • U16 Boys were National U16 Cup Finalists • U16 Boys were West District Shield Winners • U18 Girls were National Shield Winners • Aside from a burgeoning Mini section, 3 from 4 Mini age groups earned Spirit of Rugby awards at the Boroughmuir festival. • Biggar RFC selected as Club of the Month: January • Try of the Month: January (Ross Bradford) • Sarah Denholm, Emma Orr, Kaylee Fraser, Feebi Robinson and Rachel Phillips were selected to represent Scotland at age group level and in TENNENT’S CLUB OF THE SEASON 2018 /2019 the Futures squad • Calum Smith was selected to play for Scotland U16 • Andrew Nimmo was selected for Scotland U20 for the Home Nations and also for the U20 World Cup (in June in Argentina) • We RETAINED 3 different awards which we won at last years Clydesdale District Council Sports Awards • Junior Coach of the Year: Calum Taylor • Volunteer of the Year: Tammy Mitchell • Team of the Year: U18 Girls • Sports Council Merit awards were presented to Sarah Denholm and Jordan Gray • Biggar Bairns, an initiative to provide basic, fundamental skills to pre-school aged children was launched with splendid results. As we are sure you will agree that is an impressive list of successes – perhaps a list unparalleled in our relatively short history, which, having said, that has been witness to many wonderful achievements. To add to that list, we were successful in purchasing our own tractor to allow us to better carry out our own ground maintenance programme: we managed to improve our spectators experience by way of a stand/shelter on the Burn side touchline; we undertook a complete refurbishment of our Main Lounge; our Charity Shop continues to provide us with a High Street presence and an outlet for our Merchandise and second hand items and all important funding; we appointed a new Ladies Coach in Mark Senter. Behind the scenes the work of the committee continues to drive the club forward. While the club prospers and develops there is always room for improvement and we know there are areas we can and need to improve on. Our Communications could be better and to that end we will soon launch our new improved website with attendant social media programmes to help keep everyone informed of Club events and important dates. Our ever growing band of coaches continue (at all levels) to hone their skills by way of attending SRU-led coaching sessions while nearly all of our age group sides now have team managers as well as 1 st aid cover. The work of the Charity is continuing to develop and has already delivered benefits in terms of funding. In total, from Micro rugby to our Over 35 XV we had 17 sides playing rugby last season! That means that on any weekend we had over 250 children and adults playing the game of rugby! Add in coaches, 1 st aiders, team managers, physios, officials, parents and supporters and the total soars ever higher. ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY Make no mistake, Biggar RFC is a huge club and anyone associated with it should be extremely proud of their contribution and the Club’s achievements. • The support we receive from our (local and not so local) advertisers and sponsors is magnificent, virtually second to none, and does so much to help us provide appropriate opportunities, facilities and equipment for our members. • We have a very enthusiastic and committed band of volunteers who carry out a varied range of tasks to support the work of the club. • We have an unrivaled touchline support which continues to outnumber that of our opponents. As to next season we will face many new challenges, examples of which are listed below: Recruitment. Our Mini sides are showing the way as they continue to increase squad numbers almost across the board. This is something we have always tried to do but have rarely managed it year on year. To compete at Youth level, against many sides which are effectively ‘district’ clubs, we need strength in depth and an increase in numbers should help in this respect. More coaches. At Colts level we are confident that next season we will be in a position, for the first time ever, to field two U18 Boys sides. We must therefore increase our U18 coaching team. This has come on the back of the strength of the U16 group and the popularity and efficiency of our Academy and DO programme which has seen our Youth players develop skills and fitness during specialist coaching sessions. The Academy appeals to an ever widening catchment area with players travelling considerable distances to avail themselves of the extra coaching delivered by Nic Humphries and his band of assistant coaches. The DO programme under Andy Barnett will deliver curriculum time rugby at Lanark and Biggar as well as Schools of Rugby in each school. The Girls Conference programme is undergoing significant change in that there will be age group sides at U12, U14, U16 and U18 (instead of the 3 currently involved). The overall success of this initiative is dependent on whether clubs can recruit sufficient playing numbers. We expect to be in a strong position but our strength in depth will be tested and we will require additional coaches to cater for the additional side. TENNENT’SRegardless, we need CLUBto increase OFthe coaching THE teamSEASON at these age 2018 groups as/2019 Eric Shearer has decided to retire after many years sterling service, while Gavin Hill and Calum Taylor are moving on to coach elsewhere and will need to be replaced. That means that next season we will have 19 sides playing rugby with an attendant increase in overall numbers playing the game. At Senior Ladies level, we are determined to recruit sufficient new members and/or re-engage with former players to get a squad together which will compete on level terms with the Development League in which we will compete. Senior Men. Messers Mercer, Wilson and Fleming will continue coaching at senior level with Calum Taylor taking the reins at 2 nd XV level. Next season will see a major change to the club game in Scotland with the introduction of ‘’, an SRU-led initiative designed to help bridge the gap between the amateur and the professional game. There will also be changes to the 2 nd XV programme with the very real possibility of regionalised leagues although this has yet to be confirmed. Among others, we will host Club teams from the Super 6 sides and so the likes of Melrose, Stirling County, Ayr, Heriots, Watsonians and Boroughmuir will beat a path to Hartree Mill. It is some time since these ‘big’ teams have been to Biggar and they will provide a major challenge for our senior players but we believe they are up for these challenges and that they have the skills, fitness and motivation to succeed. Facilities The Club has always sought to improve, wherever possible, the facilities for the playing and non-playing membership. The Main Lounge renovations last season were well overdue and have been a huge improvement on what was there. Attention must now turn to making improvements to the club gym. As more and more players look to increase fitness, strength and conditioning, the equipment and resources available to them must match their needs and desires. Enhanced surroundings and up-to-date equipment are the main aims in this regard. The information contained in this article should demonstrate what a lot the club has achieved over the past season. This would not have been remotely possible without your support. Please accept our sincere thanks for the support you have provided for Biggar RFC over the past season and those which have gone before. Each season promises exciting challenges but next season promises excitement and challenges in barrowloads. I look forward to seeing you at Hartree Mill.
