1. Welcome message from the Club Chairman
Welcome to West Mon Rugby Football Club. This pack is designed to provide you with an introduction to the club and a reference guide to our policies, your responsibility, essential information, code of conduct and standards of practice.
If abbreviated, documents in this guide can be found in full on the club website at www.westmonrfc.mywru.co.uk
We are a relaxed and family orientated rugby club based at the PILCS Club which is located between the villages of New Inn and Griffithstown in Pontypool.
Although we take training and games seriously, we also like to have plenty of fun as well as the odd beer.
Our clubhouse is friendly and welcoming to all as well as always showing the big rugby matches on the TV screen.
We run two senior sides, a 1st XV that plays in the National League 3 East C and a Development team known as the West Mon Lions.
The teams train** every Tuesday and Thursday, 7pm at PILCS on our floodlight training area.
In addition we have a ladies touch rugby team side called the Amazons that train** every Monday and Wednesday 6.15 - 7.30pm at PILCS.
We have also starteda mini section known as West Mon Little Lions which is seen as crucial to the sustainability of the club.
Everyone is welcome to get involved whether in a playing or a voluntary basis. We have some members that have been playing for 30 years whilst others are total novices to the game. Don't think you’re too unfit, too old, too young, or worry that you’ve never played, all you need is a pair of boots and the ability to have a laugh.
**Please note training times and venues for the above teams may vary at certain periods during the winter months.
Chairman: Rob Young
2. What the Club Offers:
3. Volunteers
Our ethos is very much driven by a self-help attitude where the vast majority of everything we have achieved since our creation in 1949 has been driven by volunteers. Every key function in the club from coaching staff to committee members and grounds men are club volunteers.
All help and support is greatly valued and if you feel you can give any time at all to assist in any way towards the smooth running of the club then please feel free to talk to the Club Secretary Gary Crewe or indeed any member of the club committee at any time.
4. Communication Tools
The club has a website which is packed full of useful information. Please visit the website every week to read news, rugby updates and match reports on all the club sides. Subscribe now to receive e-mail updates by registering on the website and verifying your email address.
In addition to the website the club has a public and very active Facebook page with 350 members and a twitter account with over 1000 followers.
The Ladies have their own recently developed Facebook page.
