The RuckinRugby Business Development team had a great night with Salien Tudu and he was happy to meet the guys who have pledged to donate £50 per month for the 2 years of Tudu’s course to help with costs etc.
Please keep an eye out for Tudu as we will have a page dedicated to his progress on the new RuckinRugby website when it goes live!
Look out for the following sites as they go live as they will be using the brand new version of our RuckinRugby system. Most of the improvements lay behind the scenes but there are marked improvements to the Gallery and new sections like the online shop, newsletter and other facilities - see it all in action at www.blueandwhiterugby.co.uk - www.agrfu.com and www.dubaiexiles.com … with more in production as we speak.
Things are getting very busy here at RuckinRugby and so we have had to recruit a specialist Business Development Manager to run the UK and help deliver websites to all those who want them. Dave Coffey has just finished his time in the Royal Signals and was introduced to RuckinRugby when we helped him set up a website for his Corps Rugby Club. Dave will be handling Business Communications in the UK whilst Max remains in Dubai (tough life) and Luke returns from his fact finding mission in Thailand to take up his studies at Leeds Met!
More news as it comes and look out for a whole new look to our OWN site here at RuckinRugby very soon, we look forward to telling you more about the new team in due course - WELCOME DAVE!
Apologies to anyone who has been trying to get hold of me over the last 3 days. Thanks to KLM and their incompetent staff my family and I have been travelling for 3 days from Bristol via Amsterdam and Vienna!!
UK was great and we have lots of news for RuckinRugby - watch this space! Now back in Dubai on usual number, preparing to get the AGRFU and Dubai Exiles online and live!
I have just confirmed myself on a trip to India in October with the TRDT (Tag Rugby Development Trust) and cannot wait to get started. The TRDT are a unique charity that introduce primary school children in developing Countries to Tag Rugby through volunteer tours that build a positive legacy through local involvement and UK support.
I have been tracking them for a few months and was a bit late to get on the Uganda trip but maybe next time! I hope to build strong links between RuckinRugby and the TRDT for the future and will be featuring their work here on the site.
Nooo - not the RFU website - not YET! But St. Mary’s University RFC. They have contacted us via Will Collin and I think we’re going to get something up and running. The guys play in the BUSA league and spotted the great work we did earlier in the year for Cardiff University RFC - so the word is spreading. Watch this space for news as it happens.
Just after getting the green light from the Arabian Gulf RFU to design their new website, RuckinRugby are proud to announce that they will also be providing a new website for the oldest Rugby Club in the UAE - The Dubai Exiles RFC.
This is a great club and institution in Dubai. The Exiles host the now world famous Dubai Rugby 7s every year and in 2009 will host the IRB Sevens Rugby World Cup - it doesn’t get any better than that! With both the AGRFU and now the Dubai Exiles teamed up with RuckinRugby we are looking forward to exciting times ahead
As an aside - we are also looking forward to 40 as November 1969 is not only the month I was born but the year the Dubai Exiles were born and the month of the First Ever Dubai Sevens.
RuckinRugby welcome a new club this week from Ashford in Kent. Ashford have an incredibly vibrant Junior section with all ages from 6 upwards catered for - along with a full set of Senior sides for both Men and Women.
This project is in motion right now but should be live in the next few weeks - we really look forward to seeing how fast this grows and getting feedback on how we can tweak and improve the site to please such a large and varied mix of members.
Great News for Plymouth Barbarians as their site goes live in plenty of time to allow them to use it to promote their Challenge Match with the Royal Marines in September.
This project was good fun and involved a re-brand to give this new club a bold identity - I think we have definitely achieved that. The Former Plymouth Civil Service RFC ae certainly re-born and we at RuckinRugby wish them all the best for the 08/09 Season and the Challenge Match in September.
The Challenge Match will donate half of its proceeds to the “Help 4 Heroes” Campaign and the other half to the Royal Marines Benevolent Fund. I would ask that you all go and check out the site to find out more about why this is such an important cause.
This really is a fantastic result for RuckinRugby as this week we got the nod from the Arabian Gulf RFU. The AGRFU are looking for a cutting edge website which - from what we have seen to date - may well be the very best RFU website anywhere on the web. The AGRFU are hosting the Sevens World Cup in 2009, after which we hope to give the whole brand a new look and again - we aim to make this brand the most cutting edge and professional looking on the circuit. Watch this space to see how things progress and if you are reading this and in anyway tied to any regional or national RFU that you think could do with a shake up, - please drop us a line.
