LOCATION AND PARKING

Uckfield Rugby Club is located at Hempstead Playing Fields, Uckfield, TN22 1LX.

As at many festivals, parking is very difficult at Uckfield. We are expecting 950 players to this year’s festival which makes it the biggest yet – so please strongly encourage car sharing wherever possible.

Parking options will be as follows:

  1. Sussex Horse Rescue Trust, Hempstead Farm, Hempstead Lane, Uckfield, TN22 3DL. 5 minutes walk.
  2. Manor Park Primary school, Downsview Crescent Uckfield East Sussex TN22 1UB 5 minutes walk.
  3. Luxford Fields. 1, Luxford Close, Uckfield TN22 1AL15 minutes walk

We will have parking marshals out and about to direct traffic to the parking at Sussex Horse rescue and Manor Park school. Parking here will cost £3.

Luxford Fields is a large free public car park in the centre of Uckfield.

Please note our parking marshals will be preventing people from parking too close to the rugby club as access needs to be kept throughout the estate for residents, emergency vehicles, and buses. Please do advise your parents, coaches and supporters accordingly as local police will tow away any vehicles causing an obstruction.

Team coaches can drop kit bags, gazebos etc, to the gate of the Club Entrance to save having to carry heavy items any great distance.

There are a couple of “Blue Badge” spaces available, if you wish to take advantage of this facility please e mail me the make, model and registration number of your designated car so I can let our parking marshals know.

REGISTRATION & TIMINGS

The Registration Desk is located next to the club house and will be open from 9.00am.

Upon arrival Team Coaches/Mangers should report to the Registration Desk and hand in a completed team sheet. We will then issue you with your registration pack which will include a copy of the schedule of play and medals to be handed out to the players at the end of the festival.

No player without an RFU-ID number will be allowed to play, and only players with the appropriate “Age grade” dispensation evidenced will be allowed to play outside of their age group.

A Referees briefing will be held at 9.45 at the Registration Desk and the first games will kick off at 10.00.

FIRST AID

We will have first aid cover on site all day. First aiders will be on hand for all age-groups to cover any injuries to the players and liaise with the emergency services if required. All teams entered in the festival should have a qualified and equipped first-aider with them to attend to minor injuries. Anyone requiring first aid assistance is requested to go to the Registration Desk and a first aider will be summoned to assist.

This year catering arrangements will include a Barbeque and a variety of stalls providing hot and cold drinks, sweets, cakes and bacon butties, and an Ice Cream Van. The clubhouse bar will also be open from 10.00 a.m.
