THE GREAT NORTH FESTIVAL
Saturday 1st May 2010
Tynedale RFC are hosting the inaugural 'Great North Festival' on
the May Day Bank Holiday - Saturday 1st May.
This is a fundraising event for both the main club and the Touch
Rugby section with the aim being to provide an inclusive and fun
event which extends to the wider community and encourages everyone to
play, irrespective of age, sex or ability. Indeed individual
competitions are aimed at providing 'something for everyone'; from
experienced players in their 20's to those that have never played
before. Team entries as of February 2010 indicate that around 50% of
teams have players who have never played before!!
We also cater for families and entertainment such as face painting
and bouncy castle's will be available.
-
- Food, music and entertainment is available throughout the day
with the event culminating in the 'Touch the Ball' party held in
our marquee (late bar, DJ's and live band).
-
- For those in need of accommodation, camping and caravanning
facilities are capped at £10 per person, team entries also
start at £10 per player (significant reductions for those
wishing to enter two or three events), and 'Touch the Ball'
tickets are only £10 per person with bar prices at sensible
levels)

- Family (squad restricted to three surnames and two over
forties must be on the pitch at any one time)

like-minded team mates and introduce you prior to the festival.
