The Primary Schools Tag Festival is an annual event which has seen a steady increasing in the number of teams involved with 38 teams registered for this year's event.

To run the event we need as many volunteers as possible to help out with the following. Can you spare some time?

- Refereeing the games (seven pitches two refs per pitch)

- Control of over 380 players (getting teams on and off the pitch, keeping family and friends off the pitches, getting medal winners to the presentation area, announcers etc etc)

- Runners to help with getting the scores to the Admin area

- People to do a 'rubbish sweep' of the area after the Festival (the Inter-Insular match follows the Festival)

- Administrators to amend the automated EXCEL Spread-Sheets

- Academy Tuck Shop

The timings are as follows:
0830 Support team to arrive
0900 Players arrive
0930 First game
1400 Last game

If you can help please contact Steve Melbourne, our Rugby Development Officer.
