The following was forwarded from Swaffham and may be of interest to our girls.
The course is run by Leicester Tigers and this is the 7th year Swaffham RUFC have played host to the course which is amongst the largest event of this type in the UK. However this is the first year where Tigers have opened the youth age group week to both the girls age groups (Under 15 & Under 18).
It will be run exactly as the boys course will be where players are coached and assessed on all aspects of the game by Tigers own coaching staff.
Players will have up to 5 hours of rugby activity on a daily basis together with receiving course items including a training t-shirt, rugby ball and drink bottle.
Hot meals and drinks are provided daily.
At the end of the week the players will receive certificates against their achievements on an 8 star assessment.
Details of the course can be found at http://www.tigers.co.uk/34_17.php or alternatively please contact Ian Milligan at Swaffham RUFC on 07917 327389 or iandmilligan@btinternet.com
Should you want to attend the course but have issues on travelling or logistics please contact Ian as the club may be able to assist.

Yorkshire RFUW
Girls
Please see below the message from Mandy "Eh up North tha knows"
Well done to all those girls who took part last weekend, it were a reet grand day and every one at our end had a great weekend, (even Lucie who now holds the world record for shower diving)
Phil
Hi Phil,
What a day...what fun!!
I truly hope you had a great (if not cold!!) weekend. It was lovely to meet old friends...it was great for the U18's on both sides to have one last blast together before they become fully fledged open age players. Our U15's haven't experienced anything like this and they had a ball as did their parents....long may this friendship between the White Roses and the Stilletoes of the South continue..
I need your tournament date for next season ASAP...I've been given the green light to proceed with both age groups from Vicki & Yorkshire CB (but I need to talk to the other Northern Counties)...
How's the shower victim?....we had one broken collar bone....

The Battle Commences!!!
Before we get in t’ nitty gritty of the Basford Invasion of some far flung wet and windy place in t’ middle of nowhere!!! over the Easter weekend. A few thanks are in order.
(1+1) Paula and Tina for setting the whole thing up, without them putting in a lot of hours and leg work this wouldn’t have got of the ground.
(1+1) Mandy at the Yorkshire RFUW for all the work she put in, helping (1+1) arrange things from t’ Northern end.
(1+1) all those girls who along with the many spectators turned out on a bitterly cold day (1+1) play/watch some great rugby.
(1+1) the staff at Malton &Norton RFU who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and allowed us (1+1) completely take over their club house for the day/evening.
And finally (1+1) all the Basford Girls for making it a fun weekend.
Summary of the Invasion
Just before dawn broke, the massed hoards of the Basford invasion force boarded their battle bus and crept cat like along the A1 towards their intended target.(cos Rob the driver got scared if he went over 50mph)
Having stopped (1+1) try out their battle plans on the small community of Blyth Moto services, the invasion force quickly and efficiently stripped the service area of all edible rations (well one of the U18 forwards did)
then re boarded the battle bus and made the final leg of the journey in(1+1) the unknown.
Preparations for the invasion were going on in earnest aboard the battle bus with the advance “welcoming party” practicing the local dialect ready (1+1) blend in. Cries of “Aye reet” and “Tha Knows” could be heard being recited over and over.
As the morning wore on, you could cut the tension inside the battle bus with a butter knife, and before (1+1) long; the first glimpse of the intended battlefield came into view through the sleet and snow.
Having bravely traversed the snow covered North Yorks Moors and evaded detection from RAF Fylingdales early warning station, the invasion force arrived in Boggle hole.
The battle bus was camouflaged and left up top of t’ hill while the hardy troops then yomped the considerable distance down steep paths (1+1) their base camp.
The Officers, ( well Gavin, Simon, Paul, Steve and Myself) quickly set up our quarters and decided the best plan of attack was (1+1) let every one else get on with it while we lounged about on the sofa’s drinking tea and eating choccy biscuits. (that’s code for planning the next stage)
Our summit was interrupted when Phil ”Flintstone” French somehow managed (1+1) get past our sentry and inform us that we were needed up top as without us the others didn’t have a clue (Nowt new there then!!!!).
The rest of the day saw the troops settling in and readying for battle.
As the afternoon wore on rumours spread that Paul “I’m a Psycho on the booze” Carmen had being “spirited” away by a boggle.
Commander Scott who like his brave forefather didn’t hesitate (1+1) venture out into the cold and ably assisted by his trusty sidekick Phil ”The Judge” Robson they set of across the cliff tops (1+1) try and infiltrate the nearby encampment of Robin Hoods Bay and (1+1) bring their compatriot safely home.
Some hours later, having evaded the clutches of the locals in their hostelries and having tried out their well prepared disguises by conversing with the local chippy owner our intrepid rescue party returned (1+1) camp suffering from severe frostbite and exposure which was swiftly countered with more cups of hot tea and choccy biccies.
Later that evening the troops having polished of the cordon bleu dishes on offer in the mess tent, gathered in the main hall and sang some hearty rousing battle songs around the Karaoke machine.
Commander Scott quickly came up with a cunning plan, which was (1+1) send out Nat “tone deaf” McClarnon as an advance party (1+1) scare the Yorkshire folk with her Banshee Howling.
Battle plans were discussed late into the night over copious cup of hot chocolate ( well the drinks were brown in colour), before the troops retired (1+1) their bunks ready for battle.

Letchworth Blog.
Just back from the Basford Tour, I decided to have a look and see whats been happening around the rugby world.
1st port of call as usual, the Letchworth blog run by JB.
This site is fast becoming the place to stop and pass away the time.
The site is getting bigger and better each time I look, and now JB has somehow put the link in to show how people are hitting the site from all over the world.
Girls forget the club rivalry on the pitch, have a look at this site and be amazed at the news available regarding the sport.

Invasion is imminent!!!!!!
Our spies have fed back information that those northeners have got wind of the planned invasion from the South and are readying their air support in preparation.
Photos obtained by our brave undercover team show them swooping on unsuspecting villagers over t border in lancashire. The team only escaped the airborne assault by wearing cow pats on their heads which from the skies gave the impression of a flat cap as worn by t Yorkshire folk.
Tips on avoiding detection by t northern folk
Your name is Bert or Ethel not Shaz or Trace
Do not wear white shoes and burberry hats in public
If engaged in conversation with a northerner do not say things such as "my Chardonnay wants to be a hairdresser when she grows up"
If discovered a couple of quick phrases to get you out of trouble
a)Reet grand tha knows
b)Eh Up hows thee fathers wippet
c)Geoff Boycott is God
Be Vigilant
