Note: In order to have a legitimate vote you have to be a “MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING” —- What is a Member in Good Standing ??
Simple Answer:
#1 Satisfy your current Dues requirement. (Pay your Dues)
#2 Your Previous years Dues have to have been Paid in Full.
#3 Your Volunteer Hours have to be competed and recorded
#3 is still a new program that is not yet “Up and Running” . We are going to propose requiring all memmbers to complete 10 hours of “volunteer” work per each 1/2 season OR pay $10.00 per hour to satisfy the requirement.Exec members will be exempt from this portion of the requirement.
Thank You
Brendan
Pres ORFC

As of today, Monday, November 26th, we are looking at five teams participating in the 4th annual “olde boys in the sun” rugby tournament. Due to the odd number of teams and only one day to run the tournament, we will play a round robin tournament, playing 20 minute halfs. The team with the best record or points score vs. given-up, will be crowned the champion. Every team will play four games with one bye. All players need to be at the field at 8am to prepare for our first game at 9am. Also each player will need to bring $50 to pay their dues for ‘Old Boys’ even if you paid dues for the Orlando Team since this is a totally separate account.Please review the schedule below.
West Palm gets the 1st bye due to being the past champ.
