Miller Homes Rugby Union Leagues

New Website

From about August the 15th 'www.nowirul.org.uk' will take you to the new Miller Homes Leagues professionally built Website.

The new website will enable many folk to have an input to the site. Non technical folk will be able to input the results, which will be followed by a quick update of the league tables. The league will no longer have to rely on one person to do all the updating, Phew!

The old website will continue to run for a while and it will be able to be accessed through:-

RFU Landscape Survey

The RFU have on the RFU website a survey as how folk want the game to be in the future.
All sections are important but the section on the size of the RFU leagues particularly concerns us. Anyone who has an interest can fill in the survey, it is not one per club but MANY per club.

Our Chairman, Fred Swarbrick, canvassed opinion on 14 team leagues, to see the results look at the 14team Blogg on this page.
