The school are sending another party to Uganda to continue the good work in July and I intend to commandeer a changing room at Haslams in which we can store things which are desperately needed. These can then be transported to Uganda freely as they will be recognised as a charitable donation. Things that are needed are as follows: Toiletries, single bedsheets, pillow cases, curtains and small toys such as 'Dinky' cars or equivalent which can be wrapped to give as Xmas presents to the children. Even if you have only one of the above list please donate it, since multiplying by ten or twenty will make it part of a significant contribution to these little children with nothing. I shall be at the Rugby Club at 7.30pm until 9pm on Thursday evening 14th May, 28th May and then each Thursday after that until the group leaves for Uganda in July. My telephone number for any further information is 01159 302480. Please call me if you have difficulty with Thursday night and we can arrange something else to suit you. Best regards, Geoff Pugh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For some time Derby RFC has
had in place a draft Whole Club Development Plan (WCDP)
which various people have spent a lot of time on. The RFU
now has a prescribed process in place for the creation of a
WCDP. This involves the following steps: A period consolidating the Questionnaire results in order to identify aspects of the club's operation that the Questionnaire responses have indicated require attention. A facilitated WCDP Workshop to discuss these aspects and identify possible actions to resolve. Preparation of the WCDP and associated Action Plan. Review and submission of the WCDP to the RFU. Please take a few minutes to complete the Questionnaire, it should take only a few minutes. In order to ensure that your responses are included in the analysis you must have completed the form on or by 4th March 2009 (3 weeks prior to the planned workshop date on 25 March). Responses made after that date cannot be included and analysed.
The questionnaire has been
emailed out to people within ALL areas of the Club, if you
haven't received an email you can access the questionnaire
online from within the Derby RFC website by
clicking here - please
note that this is a password protected area, Colin
Cornfield, Graham Darby, Paul Fish and the Seniors Team

Bob writes "I thought some of your older members might wish to know of the death at the age of 90 of EB Jackson (Jacko) who came down to Hampshire and played for the Winchester club from the late fifties. Previously Jacko had been a member of the Derby Rugby Club and had been a stalwart of The Notts Lincs and Derbyshire County side. Although he must have been nearing 40 when he joined Winchester he established a reputation as probably the strongest prop in Hampshire and remained so for about the next ten years. I remember that he broke a leg when he was about 42 but was fit and ready to play again the next season" - R W (Bob) Broomhall President Romsey RFC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th Jan'09 - Yesterday's Derbyshire Cup match result was Derby 11 - 17 Ilkeston.
