Click through to each article for all the details! INTERCHANGE How good! We love our referees heading out to other provinces for awesome rugby experiences, and equally receiving incoming referees to experience BOP Rugby and hospitality! This weekend we welcomed Cassie Watt and Sam Nicholson from Southland who by all acocunts have enjoyed their time here! Further afield, we sent Pete Morgan and Jake Ryan to the deeeeeep south, along with Nick Burton and Joe Waru up to Harbour. No doubt they were all treated superbly and enjoyed their trips away! We will be having our full Interchange weekend coming up in mid-June. consider if you would like to head away to get a taste of rugby in another province, and let you panel manager know that you are interested! Expressions of interest will then be called for in a couple of weeks. PODS Many of you will have seen email come out from me over the past few days connecting you with your local “Pod” - essentially a small group of club members who live near you, which you can connect with in between meetings, and support each other to connect with local clubs and schools. If you haven't got this email yet, don't worry, the rest of these will be coming out this week. VEO CAMERAS These are available to be booked by any of our club members to record games, be sure to check out the article below which recaps how to book and use, go to boprugby.co.nz/veo to book. BEFORE & AFTER EVERY MATCH A very short reminder about some non-negotiables: Before a match (kick-off must be delayed until these are completed):
