No rugby at Haywards Heath Sunday 17th
Hi all
Haywards Heath have called off all rugby this Sunday (17th Jan). If we can train at Hove we will, but at the moment it looks unlikely. If the snow has thawed by Saturday it may be possible so watch out for an update.

Sunday CANCELLED... but this time its the snow
Hi againWe have heard from the club that all training is cancelled for tomorrow. I guess we all know why! Sometime soon the weather must change and we'll get a prolonged run of playing. There is no training on 27th so we will train again at Hove on Sunday 3rd January 2010.
Well, as we won't see you I'd like to wish you all a Merry Xmas from me, Fiona, John, Francois, Andy and Steph. Remember to keep the boys on a strict diet over Christmas... of chocolate and mince pies... with a rigorous exercise routine... taking your empties to the recycling bin should do.
Have a COOL YULE.
Cheers

Your help requested. Please be generous
Hi,
I am growing a moustache this year for Movember.
I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer.
What many people don’t appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK.
Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me. To donate to my Mo, you can either: • Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/289260/
and donate online using your credit card, debit card or PayPal account •
Write a cheque payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity - Movember’, referencing my Registration Number 289260 and mailing it to: Movember - The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London, W6 0LE.
Movember is now in its third year here in the UK and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Charity.
Check out further details at: http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here http://uk.movember.com/mospace/289260/. Also, http://uk.movember.com/ has heaps of useful information.
Thank you

Hi everyone
Hope you all had a good summer (although I'm still waiting for the BBQ summer we were promised). We are now Hove Under 12s, last year in the minis, and thought I'd let you know what was happening (well, at least for the first couple of weeks!).
The 2009-10 Season Starts on Sunday 6th September and we will be on Pitch 3 at the kit store room end, http://www.multimap.com/s/jrDxex38. The first four weeks of the season will be training from 10.00-12.00 as usual.
Please note that Registration will be on Sunday 6th and Sunday 13th September. All existing members are being sent a renewal form next week - please bring this form and cash or cheque with you. Details of membership fees can be found on the website: http://www.hoverfc.com/index.php?menu=Club&submenu=Membership&ql=22.
The club is holding its pre-season BBQ at the clubhouse on 30th August, 2009. ALL club members and familes are welcome. Deano is providing the food, and there will be a live band during the afternoon. There will also be a bouncy castle for the littl 'uns. The event starts at 1pm.
So, if I don't see you this Sunday, I'll see you on 6th September

Sunday 3rd May
Hi everyone,
Sunday 3rd May is proving to be EXTREMELY busy with lots of other things going on apart from the Minis Awards Day.
As you know a lot of our squad will be missing through various activities, so we would like to hold a separate U11 awards day so that everyone can be present and give us a chance to vote for player of the year etc.
There is a Tag match for coaches/parents (parents you have been warned please bring suitable footwear!) between the age groups that should be taking place around 10.30 on the U10/U12 pitches:
Pool A: U6/U7, The Dogs, U11s
Pool B: The Rhinosaurs, U9s, U12s
There is a £1 per person match fee - and small people will be wandering around with collection buckets. This should be completed by 11.30 - so there will be a chance for kids to have a game of bulldog or similar before the Chinook Helicopter lands about 11.45 - then there will be club presentations at the front of the clubhouse by the Wing Commander to coaches etc.
There will also be a bouncy castle and hopefully a BBQ and of course the bar will be open. They are looking for volunteers to help with the BBQ - anyone willing please let me know asap.
Just to let you know there are also the following events happening:
10.30 - Hove U13 game Pitch 2 which needs to be finished by 11.45 otherwise the helicopter will land on them!
11.00 - Colts County Final - Pitch 1
2.00pm - Women's Final - Pitch 1
2.30p - Hove park old boys game - Pitch 2
not to mention a home cricket match!
Final bit of advice from the club is to try not to drive down as parking will be horrific - you have been warned!

Sunday 3rd May - Minis Fun Day
Hi everyone
First of all well done to everyone who went to Edenbridge - the A's were the runners up in the Plate Competition (our first bit of silver!) and although the Bs did not progress into a final they played with a lot of commitment and against some very strong opposition - so well done to all and well done to all the parents for their stamina! Sitting in the sun all day is hard work!
This Sunday, 3rd May, is the Minis Fun Day at Hove. We are expecting a Chinook Helicopter, the pilot is an ex-Hove player, and it will arrive at 12pm and depart at 2pm. There may also be a tag game between coaches/parents of all age groups! So for those who are available please turn up for some gentle exercise and fun at the normal time.
In the meantime though it appears that many of our players won't be available on Sunday as it is the start of the cricket and athletics season. At the moment I know of the following who won't be available.
Freddie Nehls, Freddie Garth, Freddie Packham, George Oliver, George Turner, George Karous, Max Karous, James Hadfield, Luke Griffiths, Mikey Howell, Lawrence Wright, Sam Pfeiffer, Steph Pfeiffer, Zac Downey
If there's anyone else who knows they are not around next Sunday please can you let me know as soon as possible as this will affect when we have the U11s awards day.
Feel free to email fiona.nehls@btinternet.com or text me on 07929 325827.
I also wanted to let you know that John Wright, Lawrence's dad, has very kindly uploaded some photos from recent tournaments onto a Picasa web page http://picasaweb.google.com/HoveRFC1997 . The Wasps group photo from this year and 2008 are also on this page.
Catch up with all soon

Refreshments will be available during the morning and it is recommended that you bring a packed lunch to eat at the Stadium. Please also note there is a bit of hanging around until the community photographs are taken at 2.00pm - you have been warned! Not sure of the weather forecast yet but needless to say please make sure you have sufficient warm/wet weather gear for kids and adults alike!
The coach will depart Adams Park around 5.00pm and we should be back at Shirley Drive by 7.00-7.30pm.
For those who are not coming to Wasps - there is no training and the next matches are on Sunday 29 March - As will be at Horsham and Bs at Crowborough. As ever, if anyone knows they are not available, please let me know as soon as possible.
See you Sunday

Sunday 22 February - at Home
First of all - well done to the As at last Sunday's H Trophy and thank you to everyone who turned out to support them.
They started off with a great win over Heathfield (the first time we’ve beaten them for some time). Unfortunately we then lost to Haywards Heath in a tight game and although we beat Hastings convincingly (6 tries to 0) we lost our last game to Horsham by 1 try.
Tries were scored by Freddie Packham (2); James Hadfield (3); George Oliver and Zac Downey.
The group winners were Haywards Heath – the result dependent on their final game against Heathfield. Hove came a creditable 3rd in the group.
This week we will be at home and expect Crawley and possibly Shoreham (TBC) to visit.
I know quite a few will not be available on Sunday - if you have not already let me know, please advise of your availability.
Thanks and see you Sunday

Sunday 22 March - Wasps vs Bristol
We are organising another Wasps day like the one last year (and the year before that!)!!
Sunday 22nd March, Wasps vs Bristol in the Guinness Premiership.
Then, coach to the ground where we watch the game against Bristol from the stand, before heading back to Hove after the match - arriving back approx 7.15pm.
All those that have attended previously have agreed that these Match Day coaching sessions provide a fantastic day for both kids and adults alike.
We need to give numbers to Wasps 6 weeks prior - so need to know by next week - and, preferably, by this Sunday.
Prices are as follows;
£20 per participant child - including training and ticket and a Certificate and London Wasps Gift (this year I believe it will be the 08/09 Beanie Hat - but don't hold me to that!)
£20 per adult.
£10 per concession (OAP, Students & U18's).
Note - the prices for kids have not gone up for the last 2 years and the adult price has only gone up by £1 - excellent value for money!
I will need a deposit of £10 per child/adult and £5 per concession.
In addition to the participating child, I need to know how many adult tickets you require, and how many concessions, together with how many seats on the coach you require. If you intend to drive instead, can you confirm this too.
PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR REQUIREMENTS ASAP - I WILL OF COURSE ALSO HAVE MY CLIP BOARD WITH ME ON SUNDAY!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 4 & 10 January 2009
Happy New Year Everyone!
Just a gentle reminder that there is training at Hove this Sunday 4th January.
In addition we have been asked by Worthing RFC to provide a curtain raiser on Saturday 10th January for their first team who are playing London Scottish at Worthing, It would be on the first team pitch prior to the main game. It would be one 7 min each way game and we would then have the opportunity of forming a tunnel for the first team to run through. Worthing would then provide some light refreshments and we would then be free to go or watch the main match. This would all take place at around 1.30p.m, ie. we would need to be there by approx 1pm for warm up etc.
Please can everyone let me know, if they have not already done so, if they are available for both Sunday 4 and Saturday 10th January.
Many thanks

Sunday 21 December - Training and Minis Xmas Party
Hi Everyone
Just to confirm there will be training this Sunday at Hove; there is NO rugby on Sunday 28 December and we will begin the new year with training at Hove on Sunday 4 January. The Midhurst and East Grinstead matches are being re-scheduled and I will give you more news of those in the New Year.
In the meantime please find below a message from the mini's Chairman re the Christmas Party - please note the change in time!
The mini's Christmas party will be held this Sunday 16:30 - 18:30 at the club house and is free. For those of you new to the club this is one of the most important fixtures of the season.
For the children we offer a full Christmas Creche facility hosted by Father Christmas himself along with a disco, various ridiculous games and more sweets than you can shake a stick at. Undoubtedly, this is a prime opportunity to get our children exhausted and thoroughly into the festive swing. It has always been a resounding success and we have always managed to contain the excitement......just. Fancy dress is always highly amusing and we leave this down to your discretion.....!!
For the parents we offer the other side of the club where you are obliged to frequent our well stocked bar and make merry. This is a great opportunity to spend some time with the other parents away from the cold touchlines that have been haunting us so far this season. Again, you can't go wrong - just turn up, drop your child into the disco and order a festive round what could be a better way to see in Christmas??
All we need from you, parents, is to be your own child's Father Christmas. What does this mean? Well.....we need you to bring a small present, max. £5.00, to give to your child via the real Father Christmas. This is absolutely the best way forward and means your child will receive something that they want rather than something plastic we've guessed at. We'll run all the entertainment but you bring a small gift. The distribution of the gifts will be done by age group so on arrival please hand in to one of Santa's helpers. Should you forget, we will have bought in some spares.....
All that remains is to see you there enjoying Christmas and supporting your club.
See everyone on Sunday and for those who won't be there MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR from all the Coaches.

Sunday 7 December - Lewes Festival (As) and Training at Hove
Hi everyone
Just to confirm that we are sending an A squad to the Lewes Festival this Sunday, 7 December and they are listed below.
FOR EVERYONE ELSE THERE WILL BE TRAINING AT HOVE AT 10.00AM AS USUAL.
Forwards:
James Cull
James Hadfield
Mikey Howell
Jacob Knight
Aran Mcdonald
Freddie Packham
Backs:
Daniel Adu
Zac Downey
Freddie Garth
Luke Griffiths
George Karous
Max Karous
George Oliver
Sam Pfeiffer
Davis West
Please arrange to arrive by 09.30 and remember that parking at Lewes is always tricky so may want to car share. The club have asked that visitors DO NOT PARK in Cranedown opposite as this annoys local residents. Alternative parking can be found in Southdown Club Car park in cockshut Road (access to club via tunnel under A27) - if anyone needs a map please let me know.
The Under 11 pitch is in the far right hand corner from the club house and game duration will be 7 minutes each way. Each team is scheduled to play 4 games.
"The Tournament will be played by way of a straight league play-off. Teams will be awarded 3 points to win and 2 points for a draw. If at the conclusion of all games two teams are drawn on points, then a decision will be made based on the most tries scored, if there is still a draw then least tries conceded will denote the winner. If there is still a draw then the result will be decided by the toss of a coin. Weather and unforeseen events permitting the presentation of wards will be held by the Club House at approx 13.50hrs.
Good luck for the Festival and, as always, if anyone cannot make either Lewes or Training please let me know in good time.

Sunday 30 November - Triangular Match at Crawley
Hi
As you know from the fixtures booklet, the plan for this Sunday was A's away to Hastings and B's away to Crawley. However, there was some confusion as to whether Hove minis were visiting Hastings or vice versa. It has therefore been arranged for ALL minis (except U9's I believe) to go to Crawley for triangular matches with Hove, Hastings and Crawley.
Please therefore meet at Crawley:
http://www.crawleyrfc.co.uk/contact_directions.html
for a 10.00am start.
Bearing in mind last week's weather conditions (by the way congratulations to all players and spectators who managed to withstand the torrential icy rain!) - please ensure that players have not only tracksuits tops and bottoms but also wet weather gear. Note to self "remember wet weather trousers next time".
As ever, please let me know if you are unable to attend.
See you Sunday

Saturday 18 October Curtain Raiser for Hove 1st XV
The Under 11's have been asked to provide a curtain raiser at Hove for the 1st XV match vs Old Alleynians this Saturday.
Boys will need to be at Hove Rugby Club by 12.40 and a match will be played at approx 1.00pm. They would then be asked to form a tunnel for the players for kick off at 14.30hrs. We thought this would also be an ideal opportunity to do some fundraising and a "Boot Wash" has been suggested. The club will provide us with some buckets and scrubbing brushes and a couple of tables outside the clubhouse and the boys can clean boots after the game for a donation. We will need some parental help for this!
Please get back to us as soon as possible with availability (boys and adults) for Saturday.
Many thanks
Fiona

Haywards Heath RFC, Sunday 5th October
Hi everyone the whole team will be going to Hayward Heath, there will be no training at Hove.
This Sunday, the 5th October, Haywards Heath RFC looks forward to welcoming the U11s and U12s of the following clubs:
Burgess Hill
Crawley
Eastbourne (U12 only)
Heathfield
Hove
Lewes
Please can everyone arrive at 10.00 a.m. ready to start their first game at 10.30 a.m.
It is hoped that we will be finished by 12.30 p.m. at the latest.
If required, directions are available off the HHRFC website at http://www.hhrfc.co.uk
As parking at the club is limited, please can all coaches and parents car share as much as possible.
Please note that the playing format for Sunday is simply a "round robin", not a Festival, and there will be no winners and losers and no medals and trophies.
Each club will get to play one game against each other in their respective age group and, as we have a good mix of clubs with a wide range of playing ability, each club is being encouraged to bring their whole squad in order to be able to rotate players so that everyone gets a reasonable amount of playing time and opposing teams are as evenly matched as possible.
As this will be, for most of us, our first competitive games of the season, it is an ideal opportunity to get all the players playing and start preparing for the more important fixtures and festivals to follow.
Please be aware that the Continuum only allows a player to play a maximum of 5 games of 7 minutes each way
There will be running two pitches for the U11s and these will all be on the new field which is situated through the gate on the far side of the 1st XV pitch.
Ideally, one referee will be required from each club at U11 and U12 and the games equally shared. However, if any club has a referee that is considered suitably qualified and competent to referee more games, then as long as all parties concerned are agreeable, that is fine.
To avoid any confusion on the day, can all coaches please make sure that they and their players are familiar with the new ELVs.
For those players not playing, some of the HHRFC coaches will be running gentle training drills adjacent to the pitches in order to keep the players warm and active and all visiting coaches and players are welcome to join in and help out.

Tour and Subs
Hi everyone
Tour - April 2009
We are trying to gauge interest in a tour for the U11's this year and are currently looking at the Easter/Spring Break, specifically Friday 3 - Monday 6 April or the Easter Weekend itself, Friday 10 - Monday 13 April. There are mini festivals in the West Country on both those dates but we really need a clear idea of numbers and dates. Please can everyone let me know as soon as possible (ideally by Friday 10 October) if they are interested in the tour and if so, their preferred dates. It may be easiest to email me on fiona.nehls@btinternet.com. We would then hope to convene a meeting of the Tour Committee week commencing Monday 13 October. Sally Griffiths and Bev Garth have kindly agreed to be responsible for fundraising; Diana Hadfield and Helen Howell have also volunteered to be on t'committee. If anyone else would like to be involved (the more the merrier as they say) just let Jay or I know.
Subs
As you know we will be charging all players £2 a week for Subs and as this was really only agreed last week, ie Sun 28 September, this gives us a total of 30 fixtures/training days for the rest of the season. You are welcome to pay me on a weekly basis but the consensus is that it may be easier to pay up front and to encourage this there will be a discount for those paying in full by Sunday 12 October, ie. 30 weeks for the price of 27. Cheques for £54 should be made payable to Hove RFC and given to me by that date. If money has not been received by that date I will "nag" for £2 per player on a weekly basis!
Information on arrangements for this Sunday, 5th October, to follow.
Many thanks
Fiona

Cheques for £54 should be made payable to Hove RFC and given to me by that date. If money has not been received by that date I will "nag" for £2 per player on a weekly basis!
Information on arrangements for this Sunday, 5th October, to follow.
Many thanks

Team manager and tour
Hi all
First I'd like to thank Neale for holding the team together for the last 4 years and to let you know that he has decided to step back from management for a while. Fortunately Fiona Nehls has volunteered to help with admin and management so I'd like to thank her for that. Anyone else who can help please let me know.
We are hoping to tour again this year so will hold a meeting after training this Sunday to discuss options. Please come along if you can.
Cheers
Jay
