As a player parent myself I know only too well when financial strains are heading towards my bank account and I'm definitely one to try and play it clever.

Not all of you are going to know this but we have a used kit shop that directly helps you kit our your mini-Saint at a fraction of the cost of new kit. This shop supports our 'One Club' ethos of getting as many kids as possible playing and enjoying rugby by getting good quality used kit to the people that require it at very very affordable prices!

Julie White runs this for us and she has reported good sales over last weekend...so much so that she needs more stock! She has asked me to see if you can dig out all the kit that is going to be too small for the new season and to consider donating it to the Used Kit Shop. All proceeds get put back into the club and its facilities so its a win-win.

If, like me, you have at least one pair of boots or last years now too small training top/shorts etc. then either contact Julie on the email below or turn up this Sunday 17th September and hand them over as she is open again from 1030 onwards.

She is on juliewhite58@btopenworld.com. Also for any questions relating to this.
