Hello Roosters New and Old!

The launch of this new website is just the beginning of a brand new season and outlook for Rooster Rugby in 2012. We have grand plans for our club and this year sees the five year plan come to light.

Our stabilisation year of 2011 was a great success and the cooperation between our Senior Club and ourselves means we have a fantastic foundation to build on. As we speak the calendar for the season is being drawn up and you will be able to see it take shape on the website calendar link shortly. In the meantime a few important points to note for 2012 are:

A New Playing Strip

All registered Roosters in 2012 will receive a full playing strip including shorts, socks and game day jersey. These are yours for the year and the responsibility to maintain them lies on you. Premium brand Kooga is our supplier and the hard workers of your committee have come up with a fresh modern design. Check it out on this link here.

Facility Improvements

As part of our lease commitments to Brisbane City Council we have submitted some improvements that will form the bulk of our off-field work projects this year. These include the removal of the equipment storage containers and their replacement with more practical storage; refurbishment of the ladies bathrooms; and the construction of a more appropriate BBQ area. Other maintenance will continue through the season but these form part of our major five year list. As always, your help with these projects will truly benefit the Club and the warm fuzzy feeling is a bonus!

Fundraising Events

I don’t think there is a sports club in existence that doesn’t put their hand out for something! Forward planning over the break has allowed us to plan another Trivia Night (last year was a huge success) and a Bledisloe Cup dinner function among the regular training night raffles and chocolate drives. The newsletter will offer regular reminders about these and the website calendar has the years events already listed.

As you can see it will be another busy year however the first two dates you will need for your diary are Sign-on Saturday January 28, and the AGM on February 1st – new committee members are wanted!

So to the returning Roosters, our new players and the friends and family of the club, welcome to the oldest suburban rugby club in Brisbane and enjoy the friendliest union that is EPJRU.
