Newly-formed rugby union club Hallamshire RUFC is running an Easter rugby camp on 2-3 April on Tapton school playing fields. It is aimed at children between 6 and 14 years old from the surrounding areas.
Organiser Matt Akers said: “Our aim is to give a fun day based around rugby union and promote enjoyment within the game. If any youngsters are then interested we hope to offer them a chance to play through our newly set up youth system.”
The RFU is backing the day and are offering local community coaches to assist in the day’s events. The club’s members are CRB-cleared and have coaching badges.
Next time you’re filling up at Crosspool’s Jet petrol station, pass on your congratulations to Val Taylor.
Val has been awarded Sales Assistant of the Year in recognition of her efforts of going the extra mile when helping customers.
The manager of the petrol station, Stella Lucas, commented: “Val is an absolute pleasure to work with; she has the patience of a saint and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to helping our customers. She contacts the local garage if customers have car problems and offers helpful directions if anyone is lost. Val takes the greatest pride in her work by arriving early and keeping the forecourt clean, plus she is always dressed immaculately.”
