Dateline: 12th October 2009

Forwarded by Alan Mitchell,
Cornwall RFU Hon. Secretary.

Dear Mr Mitchell,

please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dick Dawson and I coach the senior youth academy (Under17s and Under18s) at Ashfield RUFC in Nottinghamshire.

In April 2010, we are hoping to bring a touring group from the senior youth teams to Cornwall and would dearly like to arrange a couple of fixtures against local opposition of a similar age group. We arrive in Cornwall on Monday 5th April (Easter BH Monday) and leave again on Friday 9th April. Ideally, we would like to arrange two matches on Tues 6th and Thu 8th April.

As we are basing ourselves in Newquay, it would be nice to play one of the games against them (I've been given a contact name for Steve Bazeley at Newquay but have had no response, but I might have the wrong contact details?). We will have a bus with us for the duration of our stay in Cornwall and can therefore travel to other clubs in the area.

I'd be very grateful if you could forward this email to your contacts within the County, or if you could advise me of those clubs you think are likely to be able to host us for a game. To reiterate, we are likely to have between 20 - 25 players on tour who will be a mixture of the two age groups.

I hope you can help, I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Dick Dawson,
Ashfield RUFC.
