CHAIRMANS’S WELCOME For all of you that follow the club on social media, you will already be aware that with effect from Thursday 5 November, until Wednesday 2 December at the earliest, all Senior and Age Grade rugby activities will cease at Eccles RFC and the club will return to ‘Stage A’ on the RFU Return to Community Rugby Roadmap. Unfortunately, this means no midweek group training sessions, no Senior Touch Rugby on Saturdays, no walking rugby on a Monday and Mini & Junior rugby on Sundays house can open for education and training purposes (so First Aid training this Saturday 7 November will go ahead) but otherwise will be closed. Naturally, this news will be very disappointing to all members. The club is ever mindful of the possible effect of lockdown on the physical condition and mental health of our players. Therefore, the club has already begun working with its coaches to implement a scheme to keep all our players engaged with off-site competitive activities over the coming weeks. announcement on our lockdown plans as soon as details are finalised in the next few days. We are still looking forward to the possibility of a club Christmas event, so please watch out on social media for further updates as we develop your ideas on how this could be done as a safe event for our Rugby family. Until then, please stay safe and stay positive. Paul Thorpe // Eccles RFC Chairman
