Morning All,
Joining details for this weekends Festival at Henley follow. We have 2 teams travelling. More info below but I have to highlight a few key points.. we all know them…

2) Use Car Park 2.
3) Check your player has a waterproof, all their studs in good condition, mouthguard (mandatory) and water.
4) Do not enter the field of play for ANY reason. The referee will give permission to do so. This is a serious welfare instruction and includes coaches, spectators and subs.
5) Please keep any support positive to both teams (you always do)
If your player has any issues in attending please contact Ali or myself immediately. Any questions drop me a line. andyy@tringrugby.com
