โ˜€๏ธ EXTREME HEAT EXPECTED AT British Elite Sevens โ˜€๏ธ

With an Amber Weather Warning in place for Thursday, we're asking everyone attending Elite 7s at Newport (Salop) RUFC to take a few simple precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable day for all.

๐Ÿ’ง Stay hydrated
๐Ÿงด Apply sun cream regularly
โ›ฑ๏ธ Take breaks in the shade when needed

While the competing teams have dedicated shaded areas, access to hydration, and experienced conditioning and medical staff supporting player welfare throughout the tournament, we'd also like to remind all spectators, volunteers, officials and visitors to take care in the expected temperatures.

To help everyone stay safe:

โœ… FREE bottled water will be available throughout the day
โœ… We're happy to refill your water bottles free of charge at the bar
โœ… Shaded areas will be available around the ground

Please look after yourself and those around you. If you need water, shade or assistance at any point during the day, please speak to a member of the tournament team.

We're looking forward to welcoming some of the best 7s talent in the country to Newport for what promises to be a fantastic day of rugby.

Stay cool. Stay safe. Enjoy the day.

๐Ÿค COMMUNITY AT THE HEART OF NEWPORT

On Sunday, Newport (Salop) RUFC was delighted to host Newport Girls Football Club - Shropshire Fun Day and Presentation Event at The Old Showground.

It was fantastic to see young players, families and volunteers coming together to celebrate another successful season. Newport is incredibly fortunate to have a wide range of thriving sports clubs, and events like this highlight what can be achieved when clubs work together for the benefit of the whole community. Whether itโ€™s rugby, football, cricket, tennis, hockey or any other sport, we all share the same goal of creating opportunities for people of all ages to get involved, stay active and build lasting friendships.

The Old Showground is more than just a rugby groundโ€ฆ Itโ€™s a community hub, and weโ€™re always happy to support local organisations and host events that bring people together.

Congratulations to everyone at Newport Girls Football Club on a fantastic day, and thank you for choosing us to be part of it! ๐Ÿ‘
