INTERNATIONAL TICKETS

Redditch RFC is given an allocation of tickets, at a discounted price (Entitlement Rate), for each home match for the Autumn Internationals and the Six Nations.

These disccounted tickets will be made available, in the first instance, to  paid up members of the Senior Section of Redditch RFC, or by parents of paid up Junior Section members, who are also members of Redditch Cricket, Hockey and Rugby Football Club.

Club Sponsors will have access to these tickets, applying via either a Junior or Senior Committee Member.

Going to a match at Twickenham is something that must be planned well in advance, so members should not expect to receive a ticket via a last-minute application.

Twickenham has changed to an all-electronic ticketing venue.

All tickets will be delivered by the Twickenham Stadium App.

The RFU declares the price of tickets shortly before tickets become available, and the club will post this information on this web site and in the club house. It will also include the opening date and end date for the purchase of tickets at the discounted price. The nearer tickets are reserved to the opening date the better chance we have of getting good seats together. Ticket requests near the end date are unlikely to be fully satisfied, either because we have used our allocation or all tickets have been sold.

Applicants must provide first name, second name, email, match required, price of tickets and number of tickets required.

Where applications have been made prior to opening date and provided that there are fewer applications than the allocation, the International Ticket Secretary will attempt to reserve the requested tickets.

When the tickets have been reserved, they will be allocated to the person requesting the tickets. This will generate a message from the RFU to the requestor inviting them to purchase and pay for the tickets. Once payment is received confirmation will be delivered electronically to the purchaser. The actual tickets will be delivered electronically shortly before the match date.

If the purchase is not completed within 48 hours the tickets will be released and this opportunity to purchase international tickets will be lost.

If more requests are made than we have allocated tickets the International Ticket Secretary will reserve as many as he can and keep a list of further requests in the order they are received. However priority will be given to fully paid up members of Redditch Rugby Club, Parents of junior playing members who are also members of Redditch Cricket, Hockey and Rugby Football Club and any sponsors of the club. He may have to limit the number of tickets assigned to each person to ensure a fair distribution. Entitlement Tickets will only be made available to non-financial members/friends if there are any left from the original allocation.

Purchase requests not completed within 48 hours will be allocated to the next person on the list and only offered to the original purchaser when all other requests have been satisfied.

Members applications must be made via WhatsApp message to Steve Hindson on 07876 588065.

When all ticket purchases have been completed the posting notices will be removed from the web site and club notice boards.

If there are still unallocated tickets these will be advertised on this web site and posted in the club house.

Tickets unallocated by the end date, will revert to the RFU.

It may be possible to purchase Standard Tickets (at a higher price) after the end date. This will be at the sole discretion of the International Ticket Secretary.

Requests for away matches must be made to the International Ticket Secretary. We do get access to a very limited supply of tickets for away matches.

DRUGS POLICY

                          Redditch Cricket, Hockey and Rugby Club Drugs Policy

 

The Rugby Football Union (RFU), Hockey Association (HA) and Cricket Association(CA), recognise that the use of Illicit drugs presents a threat to the health of both individuals and the Game itself Redditch Cricket Hockey and Rugby Club  (The Club) operates a very strict zero tolerance policy with respect to the misuse and supply of Drugs on club premises. The club does not believe there is any inherent problem with drug use/abuse among the membership but wants the position to be clear to all members and visitors.

Aims

The Club has developed this policy with the two equally important principal objectives of:

(a) protecting the health and welfare of Players and other members; and

(b) protecting and promoting the image and reputation of the Club and Cricket, Hockey and Rugby as a game

These principal objectives shall be effected by

(c) providing an effective and measured deterrent to the misuse of drugs by players and others at the Club;

(d) providing a positive example for young players and others in the community;

(e) educating Players about the dangers of misuse of drugs, and

  1. f) providing, or giving guidance on, drug counselling, treatment and rehabilitation services to members who are found to be using Illicit Drugs or may otherwise be susceptible to such use.

 

Responsibilities

  1. The club can only involve itself in dealing with matters involving club members that arise on club premises and/or at club events - e.g. away matches and tours.
  2. All Club members have a responsibility to bring to attention of management any activities or suspected activities, related to the misuse of drugs
  3. Responsibility for dealing with incidents reported to management will lie with the club Disciplinary Sub- Committee.
  4. Incidents which in any way involve anyone aged under 18 will also be notified to the Club Safeguarding Officer
  5. For the benefit of doubt, a person is responsible for anything that they take into their own body, including inhaled, taken by mouth, absorbed, or injected. The “he told me to do it” defence is not acceptable.

Details of Policy

  1. a) This policy should be read in conjunction with the following existing Club policies:
  2. The Club Disciplinary Policy
  3. The Club Safeguarding Policy
  4. b) The Club will not tolerate:
  5. Possession or storing of controlled drugs on Club premises
  6. Supply of controlled drugs on Club premises
  7. Presence at any Club premises or events whilst under the influence of controlled drugs

 Any breaches of the policy will normally be dealt with by way of the procedures and sanctions below. However, the Club also recognises its responsibilities to help members and so attention is drawn to the following lines of support for those who may be affected by drug issues:

 

Procedures and Sanctions

 

Anyone found possessing, using or supplying / selling performance enhancing or recreational drugs on club premises or at club events will be dealt with by the club Disciplinary Sub-Committee.

The matter will be referred to the police by the Disciplinary Sub-Committee in order that criminal matters can be considered.

The criminal justice system will take into account the individual circumstances of each case, applying threshold and gravity testing to the evidence before considering cautions or charges. The Club disciplinary outcome will take into account the degree of criminality proven when determining the club sanction.

  1. a) The default outcome will normally be for the member to be barred from the club and club events for life. This would be particularly the case if the member was a responsible adult and a police conviction or caution has been received.
  2. b) At the other end of the scale, if the member was an under 18 player and if it was a first occurrence and if they had only received a police caution or less formal outcome then a measure of leniency and education would be more appropriate. An outcome would be a ban from playing matches for a period of time and a mandatory requirement to participate in a ‘Help with drugs’ programme (eg local authority managed)
  3. c) It is the task of the Disciplinary Sub-Committee to determine an appropriate outcome for offences lying between these two ends of the scale. d) If the person involved is a non-member attending a club function / club event, then they will be subject to a life ban from attending the club or any club functions and the matter will be referred to the Police
