Our club Vice President Tony Ward has asked me to share this with you in regard to our Colts that have come out from the UK. If you can help out please email me at michael@adoncar.com.au or call me on 0400 777 582.
Ellen and I are currently housing 6 English lads who are in Australia for their "Gap year", and will be playing Rugby with our Colts for this season.
As we have family arriving from New York next week (on 12 March) and they are staying with us until 28 March, we need to arrange alternative accommodation for these 6 English lads for this period.
Five of these lads have played Rugby with Westoe Rugby Club in Newcastle, England, since they were 5, and are now 18/19 years old. The sixth player has travelled to Australia on his own, and comes from the Ampthill Club located between London and Leicester. They are qualified coaches who have volunteered to provide specialised skills sessions for our juniors while they are here. I can also vouch for their character, as they have been staying at our house for the last 6 weeks. We will welcome them back after our family departs, but in the meantime could we ask for volunteers to house these boys for the period of 12 to 28 March.I realise that it is not likely to be possible for anyone to put up all 6, but it would be good if we could get them accommodation in pairs. I have them in 3 bedrooms, with one bed and one mattress on the floor in each room - nothing fancy. If it helps anyone, I can lend a mattress (single size) to any household capable of putting them up.
They are also looking for more work, as they are currently getting casual work with Cleanevent which helps them keep their heads above water, but they are eating into their savings.
