31March-1 April & 6-8 April 2012 Mini Rugby Festival for Touring clubs - ONLY £69.00 +VAT per child

Thinking of touring? Come to the North Norfolk coast and you will have a fantastic time for an affordable price.What's more, as the tour organiser, your job is helped as the accommodation, activities, food and rugby are all sorted in one call.

  The Kingswood mini rugby festival is held annually (Easter holidays) at Holt RFC.   Stay at the Kingswood activity centre on Friday and Saturday and then play in the Mini rugby festival on the Sunday.  No tour operators as this only adds unnecessary costs to the tour.

Origins of Tournament
The KINGSWOOD festival was born 3 years ago from a lack of variation in our fixture list. There are only 6 other clubs in Norfolk who run minis in all age groups. So we tend to end up playing the same teams. As a consequence we got together with Kingswood Activity centre in 2005 and invited clubs to come and stay at their centre over a weekend and then come up to Holt for a mini rugby festival. It worked well. We have run a festival each Easter holidays since then.

The Festival

8 teams per age group

clubs can enter more than one team, provided it fits ok with the other bookings.
clubs do not have to enter all teams (indeed many don't).
Kick-off at 1030am, Presentations at 2pm
Coaches should be away 2.30pm, latest 3pm.

Only open to touring teams + host club Holt.  NB we love our neighbours, but cannot fit them in to this one and we see them on our local circuit anyway!

Activities/Accomodation
Pippa Richards at Kingswood is on 01603 309393 or by email philippa.richards@kingswood.co.uk , has all the information on Kingswood and will be able to provide the information you need.

Recommendations
The best recommendation is that clubs come back and we already have some of this years clubs booked in for next year, but it is always good to freshen things up with new clubs.  For 2012 we have already fielded many new enquiries from the very South and North of England, as well as the West country. 

Other Touring opportunities

We will always do our best to host touring clubs and help clubs find reasonably priced accomodation.  3 full size pitches + a full set of mini's pitches, ample parking + first rate kitchen volunteers ensures we are able to cope with the biggest of clubs, many of whom stay in caravans at Gt Yarmouth and then bus up to see us.  

Other Norfolk clubs are equally glad to host touring clubs.  Fakenham, Lowestoft, North Walsham, Norwich, Swaffham, West Norfolk (Kings Lynn) and Wymondham all run mini's & Youth teams and should have details of their contacts on their websites.  But if you have any trouble getting hold of a club, contact Ben Jones(Holts Mini's chairman) on 01263 712446 and he will be able to help you.
