Can You Help!!!!
Even though we have 30 coaches we still need to enlist help on the day with the odd training session, running touch and so on. But as the numbers in the mini/junior section continues to grow we need more parents to help on the day.
If you?d like to help on a more formal basis let us know. We will also provide courses for you if you would like to become a coach or a referee.
In addition we are always looking for more people to help with the administration of the section. This could be writing match reports, helping with registration or helping to run the club shop. If you can help please let us know.

Match report volunteers wanted
Now we are running under 13/14's, under 15/16's and under 17's we need additional volunteers to help write up a match report for each age group. Ideally we require one person for each age group and a couple of additional people to cover for weeks when people are away or to work a rota system.
All we require are the try scorers, match award winners plus the squad list so everyone gets a mention in the local paper and on the web site. If you wish to add extra comments about the game so much the better. The reports can then be e-mailed to davebutler@orrufc.co.uk
