Alnwick RFC U16 and U14s Portugal tour

Hi,

We are fundraising to enable our Alnwick RFC U16 and U14s girls team to go on an international tour to Portugal.

We are slowly building the numbers of local girls playing rugby at this age which is great for the younger girls coming through, the new girls in the local area who want to start playing rugby and also the women's team in the future.

We try to tour with the girls as it helps keeps the girls involved in the sport, enables them to bond and build their team spirit and often have shared experiences which they will remember all of their lives.

We are planning to take a squad of 16 under 16/14 girls to the Portugal youth festival.

In order to do this we are doing various jobs to fundraise including hedgerow planting, food sales at events, a race night and other fundraising.

We have girls (and coaches) from right across the social spectrum who have differing economic backgrounds. We believe firmly as a team that ALL girls should have these opportunities regardless of background and so have a target to raise of £14000. Parents will still have to contribute but we will ensure that it is affordable for all our families.

If you can afford to donate any amount it would be hugely appreciated.
