RRJFC Summer Football Festival 2010

Ringmer Rovers Summer Football Festival
in association with

Following on from last year's overwhelming success where we had 258 teams enter our inaugural tournament, Ringmer Rovers would like to warmly invite you all to join us at our second summer football festival to be held at Ringmer Community College, near Lewes over four sessions (am / pm) during the weekend of Saturday 19th - Sunday 20th June 2010.  This year we will be hosting every age group from Under 7's through to Under 18's, including Under 13 Girls PLUS we are hoping to have the added benefit of a Veterans (35+) event.  All ages to Under 15's will be 6-A-SIDE, whilst the Under 16's, 18's and Veterans will be 5-A-SIDE.  All participants in Under 7's, 8's and 9's will receive a memento of the tournament whilst winners and runners-up from all age groups from Under 9's up will receive individual trophies.  Each winning team also receives a trophy to keep for the year and a complimentary winner's photo from the Club.

Our motto remains ‘Fun for all the Family’ and so we will retain the services of all last year’s features plus add some new added attractions.  DE Photo will once again be in attendance for the whole weekend to capture those special moments whilst providing each winning team with a complimentary winner’s photo. 

We will once again be offering the chance for someone to win a ‘Brand New Ford Fiesta’ over the weekend whilst this year there will also be a Grand Prize Draw with the chance to win some fantastic prizes including a 42” Plasma TV, a Mountain Bike, an iPod, a Playstation 3, Football Boots amongst many other prizes.  There will be the usual arrangement of refreshments including barbecue, tea/coffee/cake stall, ice cream vans, a fully licensed bar including big screen TV for anyone wanting to keep abreast of the latest World Cup 2010 matches (and NO, England games do not clash with the weekend) together with plenty of fun for all the family with ‘Speed Shot’, ‘Beat the Goalie’, fairground rides, bouncy castles, fun slides, face painting, hair colouring, ‘Towers of Fun’ climbing wall, Go-Kart Party, a fully stocked sports stall and much more to keep everyone entertained including players, coaches, siblings, friends & family.  If you would like to host a stall at the event be sure to ask as we have plenty of room to spare whilst we will have parking for up to 600 vehicles on site and can offer additional seating if required for spectators.
