At present we expect to train at Whiteman's Green as usual at 1000 but if we have very heavy rain by the weekend we might switch to the astroturf at Downlands in Hassocks. Please keep an eye out for emails and updates before the end of Saturday.

Thanks for braving the elements on Sunday - thanks Dominic for the much appreciated gazebo! - please help us to get the children prepared for Harlequins by ensuring they are as warm and waterproof as possible this Sunday as we had a few who were very cold (some despite being kitted up!). I am looking into the use of grippable neoprene gloves as a possible solution for frozen hands and I will advise asap. This could make a big difference for the children's comfort and enjoyment.

As many of the children will be competing for the club for the first time we will help them this Sunday with specific drills and rules to be ready for what will doubtless be an enormously fun and exciting day the following week.

Best wishes,
Simon
