Welcome to the 2010 Rugby Season Posted 23/01/2010 To those of our players and parents returning from last season, welcome back! To our new recruits and parents, welcome to Marist Rugby Club. We are looking forward to a great 2010 season, plenty of success on the field and great Rugby played in the Marist spirit. Our Team The Committee is already working hard behind the scenes and the school Rugby staff are gearing up for trials and grading and the many other tasks ahead of them. Our esteemed former Rugby Master, Andy Lofthouse, who has now been elevated to the role of House Dean, has handed over the Rugby reins to Max Spencer, who many of you know as one of the teachers and senior Rugby coaches at the School. Welcome, Max! As always, Sports Master, Mick Grealish is beavering away at a thousand and one tasks, in anticipation of a record number of player registrations this year. The Website Our website has been tidied up and given a slightly new look. We hope you like it. Let's Do It We're trying out a new feature this year - some great motivational videos. Just click the Let's Do It link. There is also a general Videos link, and we encourage to send in suggestions/ links, so that we can add your favourites from YouTube and other video sites Our Sponsors As always, our major and team sponsors are coming on board and, Vice Prez, Glen Thomas will shortly be going all out to find some new ones. So, if you are a local business owner and would like to make a contribution, we need minor (team) sponsors and major sponsors. You are most welcome and will be given plenty of recognition throughout the year, here on the website, in the newsletters, at our Sponsors Day and all Marist Rugby functions. Contact Glen for more information Electronic Registration Our big news is that we are going to be using Electronic Registration for the first time. This will mean that we can take your registrations, payments and contact details online, enabling us to streamline our procedures, and the way that we communicate with you. If you are not keen to use this facility we will still have a manual method available to you. Please CLICK HERE to see the Letter from our Club President, Ivan Zafiris, which will also be included in a newsletter to you To learn more, go to our Online Registration page Rugby Explained For those parents or players who may be new to the game of Rugby, visit our Rugby Explained page which contains a wealth of information to explain away some of the mysteries. Photography We encourage you to bring your cameras along to the games and take photos of your sons. They love to see themselves in action! There are future Brumbies and Wallabies in amongst them and we need to have our brag books working early in their careers! Last year some teams were prolific and some teams didn't send us any......so, boys, if you want to see yourselves hitting it up or touching it down, on Monday morning, encourage Mum or Dad to take the camera to the game. We prefer that you email them to us in "compressed" form. Most photos will come out around 1 Mb, but are hard to email in that size. Compression trims them down to about 75 - 80 kb and there is no appreciable loss of resolution when published on the web. Most photo programs allow for this, but we recommend Microsoft Picture Manager, which comes standard with most Windows installations, and which is fairly simple to use, so you may have it on your system, without realising it. CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE DETAILED GUIDANCE ON OUR PHOTO GALLERIES PAGE Send your shots in as soon as possible after the game and they will be published in slide show format straight away. We will publish them as soon as we receive them. Email them to webmaster@maristrugby.com.au and call us if you have any queries or difficulties with sending them in. All photos will be kept and will be available to you on request at the end of the season. Happy snapping!! Footy TippingWe will be running a Super 14 Tipping competition this year - it's called Iron Chefs of Canberra 2010 and you can find it athttp://www.footytips.com.au/jc.cfm?c=158147&P=ironchefs (or click here) It's a bit of fun - free to join - no prizes - just bragging rights, so test yourself out and join in!
