After a false start earlier in the year whilst waiting for the appointment of a South West RFL Regional Manager, the inagural meeting of the North Devon Rugby League Club is being held on



THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12th - 7.15pm at

THE WREY ARMS

BICKINGTON ROAD

BARNSTAPLE

EX31 2BX



Anyone interested in the formation of a club in North Devon, either as a player, official, supporter or sponsor is urged to come along and hear from Joe Catcheside, RFL SW Manager and Keith Fillingham, temporary Club Secretary about their plans for the club and the game in the South West.



It is hoped to begin training early in the New Year in readiness for the 2010 co-operative Rugby League Conference season.

Good news that

Devon for Super League 2020?





Good luck for the future....!!!!!

All the best for he new team!!!

have you got in touch with the South Dorset Giants ? you could head over the border (ish) for a friendly.

That's what is needed. Good thinking







plymouthtitan you have a few clubs within 35 miles of you.

Bridgend Blue Bulls ARLFC, Exeter University ARLFC and Exeter Centurions ARLFC.

We are working with Joe Catcheside (RFL SW Manager) and aiming for the SW Division of the Conference next season. Joe works with Exeter University and a friendly with them is the most likely before the SW Nines in early May.

The Giants will most likely be on the fixture list in 2010 along with Devon Sharks, Somerset Vikings, Plymouth Titans, Exeter Centurions and East Devon Eagles.

The Bridgend Blue Bulls may be within 35 miles (according to the RFL club finder) but only if you have a boat! However, if the proposed Ilfracombe to Swansea ferry does eventuate in the summer South Wales would probably be closer than some of the clubs in the South West Division.



Thanks for everyone's responses so far.

Very interesting, I might try and get a train up from Exeter.

Yes I would like to put forward the name of the Devon Sharks, South West Champions and National Semi Finalists. The more teams we can have down here the better.

Wishing you all the very best of the future.



Great to see our beloved game spreading into new areas which would never happen without the efforts of people like yourself.



Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Captain Library....

Not being paranoid or thinking they are out to get us but there are no trains between Exeter and Barnstaple that week due to engineering works. There is a replacement bus service from St.Davids leaving at 5.05pm and arriving at Barnstaple at 6.27pm. From there get a Number 1, 2 or 21 bus to "The Wrey Arms".

Return buses leave Barnstaple at 9.59pm and 10.18pm reaching Exeter at 11.18pm and 12.10am.

I love a bit of praise!

All the very best to you, Ginsters pastys arrhhh
