31 August 2007 - Portobello Hornets Mini Rugby - September Newsletter

A warm Portobello welcome to all new players and parents. There are a number of points to note about Portobello Hornets Mini Section for both players and parents alike. All Coaches are 'Disclosure (Scotland) accredited and SRU qualified coaches. Membership to the youth section is payable in one annual payment of £30 for a child and a further £10 per sibling. Alternately, £70 will get you a family membership. Once subscriptions have been paid we kit out all players in tops, shorts and socks. We also offer a subsidised tracksuit deal to members where you can also a branded training top and bottoms for £15, these are also available separately. One of the benefits of becoming a member is the use of the clubhouse, (currently being refurbished after a fire in May). The family membership will also entitle you to hire the clubhouse for any events. I have attached details of September's schedule below:
