South West Spirit Rugby Union

Hello all,
Tonight your committee held an urgent meeting to discuss a few items.
From the meeting what we need to share immediately is some unfortunate news.
Ashley has tabled his resignation from the club president role. This is sad news and we would like to thank Ash for his dedication to this club and all players that have come through the ranks over the years of his stewardship.
What does this mean?
Ash has agreed to continue to help the club and hold the president role in a place holder capacity until we can schedule an Special General Meeting - again thank you Ash.
We will determine a date and provide the required 28 days notice for the SGM.
In the interim, please contact Cam for enquiries and information via Heja, or email [email protected]
I can also be contacted on 0419 907 742- but please be aware I have a speech issue and struggle to communicate verbally, especially on the phone.
Thank you for your understanding, we will keep you informed to the best of our ability.

Hello everyone,

This year’s coaching lineup is as follows:

Please be advised that the Tritag Programs commencing next week at Bunbury (Tuesday the 3rd) and Margaret River (Wednesday the 4th) are now open for registration in Xplorer

For the Bunbury Tritag and Margaret River we will run players from 6 to 12 year olds they will register as individuals and will be put into teams on the night (different teams each week)

For Bunbury Tritag 13s to Adults, players will register as individuals but will be put into specific teams, the competition will be run as a teams round robin competition.

I am pleased to announce the cost of the program has been significantly reduced to $30 per participant for the 8 week program: however, this reduction will mean we will be strict on NO REGISTRATION NO PLAY!
