We have taken the decision to stop all activity at SRFC for at least the next 4 weeks

Dear All,

Below is a statement issued by the RFU yesterday regarding a temporary suspension of all rugby activity. Following this advice we have taken the decision to stop all activity at SRFC for at least the next 4 weeks. This includes use of the clubhouse and social gatherings as well as training and playing. In light of this we will need to postpone the Club Dinner until later in the summer and it is very likely that we will also need to postpone the AGM. We will continue to monitor the situation and update you as things develop.

Please follow the advice from the government and Public Health England, stay safe and look out for each other.

Steven Dewey

Chairman

RFU - Community Game Update

Following government advice on Monday (16th March), the Rugby Football Union (RFU) took the decision to suspend all rugby activity in England, at both professional and community level, including club training, league and cup matches, and rugby education courses. This suspension is in force from Today (Tuesday 17th March) and until Tuesday 14th April at the earliest.

The decision has been taken following government advice in the interests of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider rugby union community.

Where possible, players at all levels are encouraged to maintain their own personal fitness and keep active during this time, while following government guidelines about safe distance and safe exercise environments.

We will continue to review and monitor government advice and will provide detailed updates on the impact to the season in the coming weeks.
