APPLICATION TO HOLD A FESTIVAL Dorset & Wilts Rugby Football Union Limited Working Together to Grow Rugby in Dorset and Wiltshire
If in doubt, check with your RDO. Regulation 15.9 refers NB: Only Clubs that hold the RFU accreditation, or are making tangible progress towards achieving it, can host festivals and must be authorised to do so. If in doubt, check with your RDO.
Application for permission to organize Festivals must be made in writing (giving at least two months’ notice) to the Constituent Body via the CB Safeguarding Compliance Manager and to include the playing structure of the festival. Players are limited to the maximum number of minutes playing time, as shown in Regulation 15.14.1. Clubs must obtain written team sheets recording the name and date of birth of all players taking part in EACH game for comparison with player registration cards (which must be available for inspection at the event). These squad lists must be retained following the festival by the organising club and must be made available, if required by a Dorset & Wilts RFU Representative or the RDO. Following the conclusion of a festival, the organising club must supply such statistical information in respect of the competition, as required by Dorset & Wilts RFU Youth Rugby Representative or the RDO. Failure to obtain approval is a breach of regulation, which is a disciplinary offence.
