A message from the President Senior rugby This season is proving to be a challenging season for the senior teams. We are having a bad run of injuries and with player availability variable due to work etc. The result is a battle to survive in National 3 North for the 1st XV. An injury to key signing Pale Tuilagi has seen him side-lined from game he is hopeful of returning towards the end of the season; meanwhile he has been busy coaching the youth and senior teams at the club. Skipper Ryan Johnson is also badly missed and is hopeful of a return in February. The knock on effect is the 2nd XV are mid table in the Cumbria 1 league but despite the difficulties the Vags are near the top of Cumbria 2. The fact we have still been able to put out 3 senior teams (it has not been easy!) is testament to the commitment of all those involved. This commitment and pulling together is the key focus for the rest of the season, as players return from injury we are confident the results will come. We are rightly proud of the youth programme at the club, our future 1st XV players. Academy players JJ Key and Jamie McNaughton played for the 1st XV in National 3 North and 3 players have been selected for the final North of England trial, pictured left to right Henry Hadfield, Jack Peet and JJ Key.

A message from the Director of Rugby Following on from what the president has said on page 5, I would like to add my congratulations to the three lads who have achieved England trials, Cumbria let alone Penrith rarely get players through so to have 3 in one year is tremendous.. The following also represented Cumbria U 18s, many with another year at U18;Callum Fawcett, Brad Quail, Jamie McNaughton, Brendan Ferguson, Ged Key, Josh Simpson, James Spencer, James Boustead, Joel Braidwood, Richard Addison & Callum Poulson. Representing Cumbria U 16s were Ross Donald, Callum Clark and Olly Bennett The Academy teams continue to improve, keep an eye on their progress with the U18s through to the 4th round of the National Cup and unbeaten in the North East league, the U 17s are still in with a chance of claiming the Raging Bull North West B League and all 3 teams will be looking to retain the Cumbria Cups we hold at U16, U17 and U18 age groups. A record 15 teams - For the first time on the weekend of 19th/20th October we fielded 15 teams, 3 senior teams plus every age group from Under 7 to Under 18. Well done to the many players, parents, volunteers and officials who made it possible. U7 & U8 A flourishing mini section now shows 30 children registered in the teams with an increasing number of girls joining in. The U9s have so far had an unbeaten run with 4 games and 4 good wins against Barnard Castle, Cockermouth, Keswick and North Ribblesdale. Given that this is their transition year from tag to contact, and half the squad have played no rugby before, the boys are doing remarkably well, with some great tackling and try scoring.! The U10s have played 4 games – Barnard Castle, Cockermouth, North Ribblesdale and Bradford Salem – and won them all convincingly. For The U13 A great start to the season, a gutsy team that have good players for the future. We have recently unearthed that rare thing – a parent who is qualified as a referee. The under 14’s we now have 29 players from a base of 5 last season. Players selected for East Cumbria: Callum Scobie-Youngs,Joe Connolly, Connor Tomlinson, Luke Jones, Bruce Glendinning, Elliott Bulman, Dalton Frith, David King, Tom Maund, Matthew McDonald, Bobby Greenop & Michael Dunne. U15’s have had some close matches with new opposition this season. Unfortunately more games have been lost than have been won but the players are enjoying the challenge of strong opposition. Good individual performances have been rewarded with a good representation in the Excel and County squads. The under 15’s players selected to represent East Cumbria: Thomas Broadhead, Nick Dudson, Alex Fawcett, Thomas Graves, Tom Hall, Adam Howe, Freddie Pritchard, Joe Tidmarsh & David Whittle. In addition 2 Penrith players, Ben Dixon and Alex Pantechis are in the South Cumbria squad.

Chris Connelly: Youth Committee U7 & U8 A flourishing mini section now shows 30 children registered in the teams with an increasing number of girls joining in. Keith Robinson from the Falcons development has been instrumental in this rise. We have played several matches this season against Carlisle, Barnard Castle, Falcons Tournament - where we watched the Falcons beat London Irish Cockermouth and Keswick. The U9s have so far had an unbeaten run with 4 games and 4 good wins against Barnard Castle, Cockermouth, Keswick and North Ribblesdale. Given that this is their transition year from tag to contact, and half the squad have played no rugby before, the boys are doing remarkably well, with some great tackling and try scoring. Many thanks to all the boys and parents for their commitment, to Alice Robinson for her team management and a special thanks to Gary Newton and the U10s for their help in training – especially learning to tackle! The U10s have played 4 games – Barnard Castle, Cockermouth, North Ribblesdale and Bradford Salem – and won them all convincingly. For The U13 start to the season I would Use Newton’s third law ‘For every action there is a equal reaction’! Winning our first match away against West Hartlepool followed by a close game against Tyndale. We have had tough matches against out of county teams Durham, Hartlepool but have not lost against any Cumbrian team as yet. I have been very pleased and proud hearing various comments that the u13 are a very gutsy team and have good players for the future. We have had some new players to rugby making their mark in key positions and some of the seasoned players doing the same. Sadly, Again Newton’s third law we now have three lads that are on the bench for the next 3-6 weeks with injuries. We now have 5 coaches all with different skills to bring to the team and a manager working thanklessly in the back ground keeping us straight and have recently unearthed that rare thing – a parent who is qualified as a referee.

The under 14’s have developed into a large squad of 29 players (from only 5 at the start of last season) and are emerging as a good team even though they have had a couple of ‘learning experiences’ inflicted upon them from the likes of Preston and DMP. 12 lads took part in the District trials and two lads, Callum ScobieYoungs and Joe Connelly (who is actually playing up a year) made it through to Excel camps. Players selected for East Cumbria: Callum Scobie-Youngs,Joe Connolly, Connor Tomlinson, Luke Jones, Bruce Glendinning, Elliott Bulman, Dalton Frith, David King, Tom Maund, Matthew McDonald, Bobby Greenop & Michael Dunne. Big thanks to NCL and Active Cumbria who have funded fitness sessions for free at the Penrith and Appleby Leisure Centres for the under 13’s and 14’s as part of the Sportivate campaign. U15’s have had some close matches with new opposition this season. Unfortunately more games have been lost than have been won but the players are enjoying the challenge of strong opposition. Good individual performances have been rewarded with a good representation in the Excel and County squads. The under 15’s players selected to represent East Cumbria: Thomas Broadhead, Nick Dudson, Alex Fawcett, Thomas Graves, Tom Hall, Adam Howe, Freddie Pritchard, Joe Tidmarsh & David Whittle. In addition 2 Penrith players, Ben Dixon and Alex Pantechis are in the South Cumbria squad. The U17s have made a great start to the season with their first time in the Raging Bull North west league. The standard of rugby has been consistently high and has proved to be a great experience to develop the teams skills and tactics. The team have had to do a lot of traveling in the early part of the season however they have secured some great wins most notably against Chester who are the league leaders. Currently ranked third there are some crucial games coming up and the team need to make the

Chairman’s Introduction most of having some home advantage. When there is a free weekend an number of the U17s have been called up to play for the U18s which has proved a great success for the academy approach to this age group. Within County the U17s have the County cup to look forward to with the first round against Cockermouth kicking the campaign off.

Players selected by age group are;

Henry Hadfield has represented Lancashire in all 3 of their matches this season and Henry has also got the nod for North of England Trials in December, along with Jack Peet and JJ Key.

U 16 Cumbria Ross Donald, Olly Bennett and Callum Clark.

As part of our youth programme we actively encourage players to attend selection sessions and hopefully play for Cumbria and be selected for the Excel programme overseen by Newcastle Falcons.

the new

wedding venue Another new initiative to make you aware of is the use of the club as a wedding venue. We have a fantastic clubhouse with all the necessary facilities, an enormous car park, a brilliant location. The model Bride, Jeni Banks from May Fifteen, and model Groom, Graham Michael Lewis from Impact, wore stunning outfits from Belle Boutique and Greenwoods in Carlisle. Capellis and Heart & Soul in Penrith kindly offered time to help Jeni with her look while Finishing Touches, Cockermouth, and Greenwheat Flowers, Penrith, dressed the tables. Picture U from Carlisle took the images, trying to avoid the rain, while Weddings by Annabel followed, picking up the train and advising on shots to make the most of the location. What a team! The new wedding packages are flexible and varied to entice local people to look at the Clubhouse in a different light. Annabel commented: “I really hope we can make a difference for the club as its a great site and plays such an important role in the community. Its very different to the usual castles and grand halls I usually work with but variation is the key life!” We now work with a firm who can provide tipi’s for your wedding day.

Pre Match Lunches

Pre match lunches are exactly what they say on the tin. They allow free entry into the match and a two course lunch, either starter and main or main and pudding. We don’t know until the day which it will be! They are ideal for a group of friends to get together or a boss to thank his team, or a company to entertain clients, or to meet and get to know potential clients/customers. The environment is friendly and the food and drink are good, all add to a superb afternoon come evening out. Networking amongst local business people just happens because the environment at the club is spot on to either find a quiet place to chat or be part of a larger group putting the world to rights. The younger members of the club are invited to sell “pick the try scorer” tickets to all at the club to raise funds for the junior section, which we believe, allows them to mingle with adults and learn from an early age respect and how to handle themselves in company. Costs for the pre match lunches are as follows and we would ideally need to know by Thursday evening before the Saturday for catering. • For one offs £15 per head If you pay up front and book the following • If you as an individual book 4 matches £13.50 per head • Book 10 people at £12.50 per head

Penrith RUFC Limited In July 2012, based on advice from the RFU, and guided by our solicitors, Arnison & Co. and our accountants, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly Chartered Accountants, Penrith RUFC changed from being an unincorporated club to a company limited by guarantee. Previously, club members had been personally liable for any debts of the club, if these debts could not be met from the assets of the club or under an insurance policy. The new company is now operated by a Board of Directors and a Management Committee. We are still a not-for-profit, community sports club, run mainly by volunteers, offering an excellent sporting environment for both juniors and seniors for the town of Penrith and the surrounding area of the Eden District.

Match Sponsorship

Sponsoring a match day at the club will entitle you to exclusive use of the sponsors lounge upstairs with your own dedicated bar staff. It means you can invite exactly who you would like. Treat it as your club for the afternoon, say thank you to clients, staff, get together as a group, meet up with long lost pals, reunions anything you would like really. If you would like to promote your business bring along a banner and any portable advertising kit and we will work with you to promote your business for the day. You can entertain up to 100 guests and with the large picture window framing the Lakeland fells beyond the club it really is a brilliant setting. As a club, we would like to work with you and welcome you so that you and your guests have a fantastic day. Following the match, we would like you to pick the man of the match and present them with a small token, usually a bottle (supplied by the club). We will have a photo taken which will again be used for promotion. The cost for sponsoring a match day is ÂŁ400. A link will be created from the club web site so that any visitors can see you have been associated with the club. Once completed the web site will be a useful local and National tool for your business.

I am now organising sponsors for next years fixtures please give me a ring to book or just chat through the possibilities. Please contact Spike 07713074842 or rylukean@aol.com 22

1st XV Captain Ryan Johnson “As we stand at the minute we are fighting for survival, but I know that each player selected will do the best they can. I make no excuses we have been very unfortunate to have the run of injuries we have had with key players. I know myself the frustration of watching from the sideline. It is good to note that all involved have remained positive week in week out. I would like to say a massive thank you to all the supporters who turn up each week, to all the coaching staff, to the lads in the second and third teams, to all the staff at the club, to all the players’ partners. I am involved with the youth section and can say that the future is looking good. Three of our colts have made it through to the North of England trials, what a brilliant achievement from one club, I think that shows the quality we have coming through. I know the league table doesn’t look good at the minute but please stick with us keep turning up and cheering us on we will come good.” Ryan Johnson

Stuart Lancaster I thoroughly enjoyed playing my rugby at Penrith, it’s great to see the club flourishing at every level and I’d like to send everyone at Winters Park best wishes for the new season. I lived seven miles from the club and although I was away at school I came back before going to university to play at Colts level with lots of friends. My nephews are involved there at the moment. At a senior level it’s good to see the club going well in what is a very competitive National League Three North and with three county cup winning sides at Under-16, 17 and 18 level the future’s clearly in safe hands. Whether you’re involved in international rugby or at amateur club level, the same lessons still apply. Whatever age you are, you can’t do any more than work hard to the best of your ability and at Penrith you have a great chance to develop your skills, resilience and confidence. The foundations of what makes a successful team work are the same too. It’s about playing for each other and wearing the shirt with pride. In a small town like Penrith representing your community and your club means a lot and the same values apply to the England team. Being proud of wearing the shirt and understanding what it means to represent the country – and the 2,000 clubs like Penrith within it – is at the heart what we are doing as we build towards the 2015 World Cup and beyond. 26

Youth Academy

This year saw the club re-launch its academy of rugby for players between the ages of 16 and 18. The idea is to simply be the best that we can be at this age group; the academy will mean focus on these young men to ensure they get all best training and advice available. A good start with three of the youngsters getting to the North of England trials.

Simon Peet Colts Team Manager

Chris Connelly U17 Team Manager

They are getting access to gym facilities and bespoke sessions delivered by experts in their field. Nutrition, individual training programmes for the gym work, physiotherapy, rugby coaching. The opportunity to learn new and innovative training regimes, the chance to gain qualifications as a referee. They receive support to progress to Newcastle Falcons and more importantly for us to Cumbria County. We will ensure very competitive and high standard opposition in the north of England. Training in coaching techniques with the hope that as the players gain in confidence they will share this new knowledge with younger teams. Importantly for the club specific and individual transition into the senior teams. If you fancy sponsoring the academy, you will get recognition on the website, which regularly has more than 300 hits, your logo on the leisure kit, such as hoodies and training tops which to be fair are worn a lot by the lads, on any paperwork that is completed to state who our sponsors are, on posters in the club house.

Open Tuesday to Sunday 9am until 5.30pm (10-4 on Sunday) • 9 Burrowgate, Penrith. CA11 7TE It is great to see new businesses setting up in Cumbria and on a personal note, it’s even better when its associated with food and a short walk from the Cumbrian Local Office! New to Burrowgate, Penrith, I met Greg Forbes, the proprietor of his new business Smoked, who gave me a tour of his premises and a taste of his products.

Stocking, in addition to my weekly specials:

Prior to opening the doors to this new and unique business, Greg had been working in the hospitality and catering industry for over 15 years. He studied hotel and catering management at Sheffield Hallam University. Greg is originally from Lancaster, now living in Yanwath, but notably has worked at both The Rampsbeck Country House Hotel and L’enclume. Although much of his experience would be on the operational side of hotels and restaurants, he has always been a keen cook. As an avid fisherman, he would regularly smoke his own catch at the waters edge. This is where Greg’s interest in smoking foods started. And in Greg’s words, ‘to get more of an insight into commercial smoking, I attended a smoking course with Smoky Jo and Georgina, the former owners of Brougham Hall Smokehouse; and the result is Smoked! I have the smokers on view for customers in the rear of my shop and feel that my distinctive competency is that I can brine and smoke requested items for people as well as my regular items.’

Penrith RUFC - A -Brief History Penrith RUFC A Brief History In the autumn of 1882 a group of a dozen or so rugby enthusiasts gathered in Great Dockray and there the Penrith Football Club was founded. As the twentieth century unfolded the Club entered into a brief and unsuccessful period of Northern League Rugby – a forerunner to Rugby League. However, following the Great War, it was decided to return to the Union game. In the early days, play took place on the Foundry Field and though excursions to other bases took place over the years, the Club settled there again following the Second World War. By 1954 our first ever Clubhouse had been built, largely through selfhelp and the expertise and generosity of the father of our then hooker, Robert (Bobby) Reay, who owned a local building business. The club went from strength to strength and it became obvious that further development would be necessary. However, since the ground belonged to the local Council it became apparent that if we wished to develop in the way we wanted then the solution was to buy our own ground. A development committee was set up under the inspired leadership of Treasurer Joe Jameson with Jim Nicholson as Secretary. 28 acres of land, including a two-acre concrete car park (formerly a tank park during the War) came up for sale by auction. On Tuesday 12th September 1961 the Club paid the princely sum of £7,500 for the whole 28 acres and our future was assured. An area sufficient to lay three pitches was leveled, drained and re-seeded over the next three years and following many fund-raising functions, plans were drawn up for a Clubhouse at what was to be our new home. With the help of a low interest loan from the RFU and similar grant from a Brewery, the Clubhouse and ground were officially opened on 29th April 1967. Penrith was the envy of Clubs in the North-West and many, though they were not on our Fixture List, would call in to enjoy our Saturday night dances. As we all know, good times don’t last forever and when our flat-roofed sectional building began 36

www.penrithconferencecentre.co.uk

to age on reaching its promised life-span of 25 years, we had to look at fund-raising for a new Clubhouse. By this time we were running three Senior sides, a Colts side and a fledging Mini-Rugby section. We had four Squash Courts and the local Tennis Club had moved to Winters Park and laid four hard courts. We also became the home of Beacon Archers, Penrith Amateur Rugby League Club and we are still the home today of Eden Runners. Obviously we were beginning to serve a local community not only as a Rugby Club but also as a base for other sporting pursuits. It was about this time that the National Lottery came on the scene and a team was assembled to draw up an application for a Lottery Grant. Keith Davis (Secretary), Chris Ryder (Solicitor) and Richard Dryell (Architect) were the key players. It took almost two years to prepare the application documents and move through the various stages towards grant approval. However it was all worthwhile as we were eventually awarded £410,000 towards the cost of our new development. The Club itself had to raise the rest of the £660,000 total cost through the sale of land not suitable for sporting purposes behind our grandstand. Such was the quality of our bid that our Secretary was invited to the House of Commons to appear before the All Party National Heritage Committee who were then taking evidence on the impact of lottery grants to various sections of the community. In 1997 Peter Brook, President of the Rugby Football Union opened our splendid new Clubhouse and we were ready to move into the 21st Century. Since then we have experienced considerable change in the way the Club is managed and utilised. With our new complex came all the responsibilities of upkeep and general maintenance. New staff had to be employed and core income streams had to be generated and nurtured. On the Rugby front the new century has brought about mixed fortunes. In April 2000 our senior XV won the Cumbria Cup for only the second time in the Club’s history. However, less than a year later the entire County suffered from the ravages of Foot www.pitchero.com/clubs/penrithrufc

and Mouth and none more so than in the Eden Valley of Cumbria. Our strong farming connections (and indeed RFU guidelines) forced us to cancel all our of matches from the end of February 2001 with the net result that the RFU contrived a formula that relegated us from level six to level seven by a margin of less than one point! In 2003 our senior XV played magnificent rugby to progress through the rounds of the Powergen Intermediate Cup playing away from home on most occasions. The semi-finals saw us once again drawn away to the favourites Hertford only to lose by the dreaded one point margin in the dying seconds of the game. Despite this disappointment the team soldiered on and secured promotion back to level six. Season 2004-05 saw us finish third in North Two west and once again lift the Cumbria Cup. Our ‘A’ XV won the Cumbria Shield for the first time in the Club’s history and completed a unique double. The following season we were level transferred to North 2 East and rose to the challenge magnificently by taking the league title in the very last game at Durham City in a thoroughly epic match enjoyed by an army of Penrith supporters the like of which had never been seen before. A week later we retained the Cumbria Cup beating our old rivals Aspatria. Season 2007/08 saw our senior XV relegated after two years in North 1 following a disastrous start to our league campaign from which we were never able to recover despite herculean efforts from February to April. Away wins at Middlesbrough and Hull together with a truly magnificent effort at eventual unbeaten league winners Kendal were the high points and demonstrated our true potential. Season 2008/09 saw us back in North 2 East. But not for long. With head coach Stuart Connell in place we had an outstanding season resulting in us being crowned Champions of that league with a combination of solid forward play and exciting running from our backs. Not only that but we won the Cumbria Cup in an exciting final against local rivals Carlisle. So we find ourselves, for the first time, in the National Leagues and looking forward to the challenge. www.pitchero.com/clubs/penrithrufc

Season 2009/2010 was a highly successful one for the club. The 1st XV finished a superb 3rd in the National 3 League North and won the Cumbria Cup for the second year running. The ‘A’ XV finished in a creditable mid table position in Division 1 of the Miller Homes League and the 3rd XV gained promotion to Division 3 North. Both the ‘A’ and 3rd XV’s will play in the newly named University of Salford North West League this season. Season 2011-2012 was a frustrating one for our 1st XV who finished mid table in National 3 North when some of our play warranted a higher place. The team did however win the Cumbria Cup for a third year winning a highly entertaining final against Kendal. The 2nd XV gained promotion to the Premier League in the University of Salford Leagues and the 3rd XV finished a creditable 5th place in Division 3 North in the same leagues. Season 2012-2013 was again frustrating as far as the 1st XV were concerned, losing games we should have won, culminating in a nail biting last game of the season which we needed to win to avoid relegation. Thankfully we came good on the day! We were again successful in the Cumbria Cup winning that for the fourth season in succession. Last season saw another season of highs and lows for the 1st XV but this time the team did at least manage to avoid the spectre of relegation before the final game but were unfortunate to go out of the Cumbria cup at the semi final stage. Both the 2nd and 3rd XV’s did well in the newly formed Raging Bull Cumbria Leagues. However all the accolades belonged to our youth teams who go from strength to strength - 4 of them reached finals in the Cumbria Cups 3 bringing home silverware, one losing out narrowly. Our common aim is to build a business which will sustain quality Rugby Union in Penrith not just now or the next few seasons but for the foreseeable future. The considerable progress spanning three centuries of this Club’s existence did not just happen – many far-sighted Rugby men (and yes, women) made it happen. Let us hope that the game continues to throw up those Rugby enthusiasts who are prepared to put something back. www.penrithconferencecentre.co.uk

Conferences and celebrations The conference facilities at the club are simply the best. Because of the size of the rooms available and the layout of the club, it makes it a really flexible venue. Obviously larger groups of up to 100 people can be accommodated in the Jenkinson Room downstairs. That leaves the sponsors lounge, players bar and at the back upstairs what we refer to as the boarded room. Therefore, if you have a training day that requires leaving the main room to split into smaller groups then this is possible. Refreshments can also be sorted by prior arrangement with the club’s stewardess Caren Bainbridge. The car park and the location of the club and access to the bus station, railway station mean that if you are hosting a meeting or training day whereby you need to pull staff or customers in from all over Cumbria or even further afield this is the place for you. With the same logic in mind the club is probably the best venue locally to host your special occasion celebrations.

Penrith has a local radio station? If you can get on line, you can listen to your local radio station now 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Did you know it’s actually been available since November 2011? After 3 trial transmissions, a 3 year campaign and applying to Ofcom, Eden FM Radio has been awarded a full-time community radio licence to broadcast on an FM frequency, so during the first half of 2014, the station will be switching on its transmitter to transmit across Penrith and the Eden Valley. Eden FM is not a commercial radio station; it is a not for profit limited company run by a committee just like your rugby club. It has some paid part-time employees but a huge growing team of volunteers. Launched in July 2010, it has 2 studios and is a part of the Local Community Media Centre based at Ullswater Road Business Park. What sort of music do we play? The full range from 40’s to current day. We have dedicated Folk, Country, Rock, Classical and many specialist music programmes catering for all ages; Teenage Takeover on Saturday morning hosted by the teens aged 14. I can’t mention the age of those presenters who have a face for radio and it gives them eternal youth! Links with Penrith RUFC have been made

from the time it launched. Every weekend Eden FM sport promotes the fixtures, current updates and is heard by locals and ex-pats from around the world. Reports on the scores as they come in and the promotion of all the clubs events and activities are available. In 2014, your voice, your choice and local community radio at the roots of your rugby will be there, as Eden FM continues to support and follow Penrith RUFC through this new year. Locally charities can advertise for free on Eden FM. Local businesses can advertise for as little as £50 per month. Log on and have a listen at www.edenfm.co.uk the voice of local media and local people. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Our programme guides and updates are published in every edition of Cumbrian Local.
