we dropped ours to $200. It use to be $325 or something but that included a training top, shorts and socks...then we had everyone saying they didn't need new stuff as they have "last years"....so we split them...and now everyone is "what? i need to buy kit?"
legit have people turning up on a sat in track pants asking for shorts...obviously id want the uniform but surely if your going to a game you take some training short just in case!

It is possible to set up a Third Grade game but it's a lot of effort and other clubs want to play at fuckall o'clock at their home ground. Fuck that.

And people wonder why you get burnt out running clubs? It's so f***ing frustrating!

EVERY. FUCKING. WEEK.
Got a new manager in the club - great guy but knows nothing about rugby. He's got all these great ideas but is yet to truly appreciate that most of our player base are guys under 30 with the attention span of gnats.
Mate I love your enthusiasm, but most of these guys literally just want to turn up, play footy, have a beer and go back to their lives.

@Dan54 dont get me wrong, im not even on the commitee, just manage one of the teams, the actual commitee kill them selves keeping the club alive
one of them who is probably a bit like @NTA in that he does loads for the club and then will also play two games if needed, was tell me the other week he needs to step down, said he was lonely and legit cant have a partner and still do everything he does for the club
@NTA they were probably saying the same thing about me when i first joined

That's toxic. Unfortunately that situation requires them to just leave in order for everyone else to appreciate it.
I'm going to step down from the Union Board next year. It is only one meeting a month and I'll miss the odd junket, but I have to start withdrawing from the excess duties in some fashion.
I also find it frustrating that in 4 years on the board very little has changed in terms of landscape. Most of that is out of our control but why am I wasting my time on it when as a big part of the grassroots scene, we just get run over by Premier Rugby?

Our Division (4) is only 2 Grades. Currently if you want regular Third Grade you have to go to Division 2 and have Colts U21 with it.

@Kiwiwomble I haven't had to do it though I know it is in the competition rules if someone last played overseas.

Yeah it becomes a case of "don't ask, don't tell". Our comp is fully amateur so they want to be sure it isn't some kind of dodgy setup

@NTA i think out coaches are being a bit cautious because we in the run up to play offs so dont want to get caught....just a such a process that no one really want to actually do

Even years ago a young fella I knew was in Italy as exchange student, and had to get clearance from NZR so he could play. Seem your lot are rightly being cautious!

Fuck me I hate the judiciary system.
We got a red card, which was a surprise to everyone.
Now, to prove the ref wrong, I have to get a pile of stat decs from witnesses by Wednesday in time for the hearing.
My guys don't work offices or even have PCs at home to print shit out or scan it. Our catchment is basically this:
How the fuck are they going to get a statement together, witness in front of a JP - because everyone has a day job - and back to us before the hearing?
Fuck me I'm done with this shit.

I drove through this area once (I was lost) and can confirm that there are no pc's or printers anywhere.
