    • Referee Recruitment Night
      • There is a significant referee shortage in Wellington Rugby – currently 40 referees!! Although the extent of the shortage is not apparent presently, from Sat 25 April 2015 onwards the Wellington Rugby Referees Association (WRRA) will have challenges appointing referees to cover all Club and College Rugby. In conjunction with the WRRA, the WRFU is working on a delivering a range of programmes and marketing to grow the number of referees. The first initiative is: Referee Recruitment Night Day:       Wednesday 22nd April Time:     5:30pm to 6:30pm Venue:  The Green Man, corner of Victoria St and Willeston St, Wellington City As the hosts, WRFU will provide refreshments for prospective referees, as well as local and international referees to speak about their experiences, and why they chose to referee. The Hurricanes are also supporting this event by having Chris Boyd and Conrad Smith join us at The Green Man. Please spread the word!!  Recent WRRA surveys have indicated that the most productive method of recruiting new referees is “shoulder tapping”.

Congratulations to Richard Newson for playing 100 games!   Mid 2014 report card from the Mixed Veges Mixed Veges are having a good year with excellent numbers (for a change) and terrific enthusiasm. Several new Veges this year which helps immensely.   The team is coming into some good form now as well with all of the Wednesday practice moves working on the paddock. The return of our old coach "Cauliflower" Campbell has made a big difference there.   Still getting regular support from old Veges both on and off the field.   Looking forward to the second round and a clash against our old foe the J'Ville Cripples for the Sandy Mounsey Memorial Cup. We are due a win there!!!   Our facebook page has loads of photos and comments and is always used as our most successful communications tool.   The famous Mixed Veges are building towards our "Sow The Seed" tour to Sydney where we will play an Eastern Suburbs selection in September and fundraising is going well.   Cheers, Kernel Corn

    • Wests and OBU Consider Future Opportunities
      • Western Suburbs RFC (Wests) and Wellington College Old Boys & Victoria University of Wellington RFC (OBU), have commenced preliminary discussions with a view to ensuring Wellington city and its western suburbs are serviced by a strong and vibrant rugby club with a clear pathway from junior rugby to college/university and senior/premier rugby. OBU Chairman Jaesen Sumner said, “Wests has a proud and distinguished history in Wellington club rugby but have recently experienced a decline in senior playing numbers. At the same time they have maintained one of the largest junior club playing bases in New Zealand. As a result of these changes Wests and Wellington College Old Boys & Victoria University of Wellington RFC (OBU), who share a similar geographic catchment and historic player base, are in discussion to explore how they could cooperate to ensure a positive outcome for rugby in Wellington city and its western suburbs. Tony Walsh, Wests’ Chairman said, “While it is early days we believe there could be considerable mutual benefit from forging a closer association between the two entities, and one outcome could be the two agreeing to become one Club that combines the strength of both Wests and OBU. “While these discussions are ongoing it will be business as usual for each club as the 2014 playing season heats up.” Both Clubs will shortly embark on consultation with their members to ensure that they are well informed about the options and that there is broad support for the outcome that is reached. Tony Walsh said, “It is too early to predict what the outcome of these discussions will be. That said, change is inevitable as the status quo is not working. Our strength is that we’re currently one of the largest junior rugby clubs in the country and OBU are one of the largest senior clubs with similar numbers; so there are clear synergies from a closer alliance.” Monday 5 May 2014
