To celebrate the hosting of the Rugby World Cup 2015, Winlaton Vulcans R.F.C would like to invite your club's Rugby Veterans playing still or not, to a tournament to be held at our Winlaton Vulcans RFC ground on the 7th October 2015.

This email invitation has been sent to the following Gateshead Borough Rugby Clubs, Blaydon, Gateshead, Ryton and Winlaton.

Hopefully, we can all have a bit banter like we had in our better playing days with each other and enjoy a few drinks together.

The tournament details are

- To be held on the 7th October 2015 which is a Wednesday.

- 10 a-side with 3 substitutes per game (front Row replacements will not be counted in this, if the action of replacing does not result in the scrummage being turned into Non-contested scrums).

- Each game will be 8 minutes each half with 2 minutes for half-time.

Your Club playing squad will be of up to 18 players aged 39 and over with 2 player's aged 37-38 permitted.

However at least 8 player's in the squad must be 40 and over and at least 6 of the 40 year old's must be playing in each game (this is to prevent clubs turning up with a squad of 39 year-olds with two aged 37-38).

The competition is mainly aimed at an old-fart's (I include myself in that bracket) of 40+ years.

It is important that your club look's to obey these age limits set down as we want this to be a true veterans competition for all those who take part.

We would also like to think that this or some other type of competition takes place at one of your club's in future seasons, but let concentrate on this for the time being.

Your club is 100% trusted to be build your squad to those rules(if you cannot, then this must be declared up front before the competition takes place (at least a week).

- The proposed start times of the games we are willing to work with the clubs, as we appreciate that this may be the hardest thing to co-ordinate.

We are trying to get the teams off the pitch and into the bar(as near as we can do it) before the rugby match on TV starts.

If the clubs decide that is not important to finish as near to the 20.00 hrs kick off we can therefore put the start time back if all clubs agree to that but will have to play the games one at a time on the 1st team flood-lit pitch if it get's to dark to carry on on the other pitch.

If you are interested in playing or coming up to watch then contact Tony Rutherford on Rutherford_tony@hotmail.com or 07972323346

Kind Regards,
