Party On at Bruff R.F.C.

The Heat, the sweat, girls with their hands around the waist of some guy they’ve met for the first time ten minutes before, tearing off a piece of cloth barely held together with Velcro. The lovely smell of barbecued beef, chips , the long cold drinks, the tanned legs, the glistening bodies, the panting, the heavy breathing, followed by the late night, the live band, the pounding music at the disco and finally tumbling into the bed or the tent in the small hours……

No, we’re not talking some hot sweaty party night in Ibiza, this is a lot closer to home, It’s the Third Bull N’ Booze tag rugby festival and it’s almost upon us again. We kick off on the evening of Friday 25th of July with the welcome party and continue with the main event on Saturday 26th of July.

This year we’ve taken it a bit further with the attack of the raging “Bucking Bronco” Bull and the addition of the oldest martial art form in the world (albeit with a bit of padding for protection), you’ve guessed it, it’s the “Sumo Wrestling suits”, where you can try to give someone the “Attack of a thousand slaps” if you could only get your hands on them.

To be sure that you’re in with a chance to be involved, drop in on the www.bruffrfc.com homepage and download the entry form (To make it even easier there’s a link directly from the top of the web page). Print off the form and either email or post it back to the address on it. You can also email  tagrugby@bruffrfc.com or else just ring Gráinne on 087-9312817. It really is as easy as that. Be quick though, we’re closing fast on our target, but if you don’t get your team entered in time, be sure to drop in for the entertainment, we’ll be going until the really early (Or late) hours.

Not so quiet after all in the off season is it?

Isn’t the off season great? It allows for those of us that aren’t involved in trying to keep crazy fitness levels (like the players!) to unwind, relax a little and catch up with Non-rugby stuff, (Family, Work and other essentials like that). But just in case you think that club work ceases completely during the free time, remember that this time of year is when the maintenance work takes place on the pitches and the general club facilities.

We’re putting the final touches to the place to get everything ready for the 3rd “Bull N’ Booze” festival on the 25-26th of July, ready to pay “homage” to the Heineken Cup which will be in attendance. We’re also upgrading the shower areas a bit, as well as other general housekeeping work needed around the grounds. The Training pitch has been extended quite a bit and has also been sanded, levelled and re-seeded. Again all is being done by our brilliant Development Committee lads who took on the job following their great job in floodlighting the place. While it will not allow two full games to take place there at the same time, it will allow two separate training pitches by rotating the goals through ninety degrees. Great credit is due to Alan, Jimmy, Mick and Eoin and the rest of the lads involved in this from the beginning. We know that this is (yet again) another time of change and new challenges, with the promotion to Division 2, it’s great to know that we still manage to come up trumps when it comes to getting things done. It does help the financial end of things when we can do stuff ourselves, but it nearly always seems to be the same few people involved.

All members should be notified before the end of July about the new procedures for tickets etc. Again we would ask that members please give us email addresses and mobile phone numbers when sending in subscriptions. I know I’m repeating this but it is extremely important that we have as many means as possible of contacting members; the easier you can make it for us to get you information, the better for all concerned, (especially when it comes to tickets!).

Next meeting of the Bruff R.F.C. Executive committee will take place on Tuesday 8th July at 8:00 p.m.
