Some highlights from the BCRU mini meeting that was held at the Chateau Victoria last Sunday and other VIRU Tidbits. I think we can be excited about what is going on to improve rugby. BCRU, with the addition of new office staff, has agreed to manage the VIRU Fall League Statistics. (League standings and tables.) They have also agreed to do BC Wide scoring races in all leagues except the 3rd Division and Junior Rugby. This will come later. As long as we can keep the flow of game sheets going into the BCRU, they will compile the stats and league tables and post them on their website most likely by the Monday late afternoon. They will also send out e-mails to respective address' with this up to date, printable information. It sounds like they are completely revamping the current system that we see on "e-sports" which is attached to the BCRU website. This will eliminate a huge amount of work for the VIRU and perhaps make it more efficient and fallible. Website: We have had obvious communication mix-ups over the years do to our limited abilities in the communication areas. Andrew and I have suggested we build a VIRU Website where all schedules, minutes, notices can be accessed by those interested. This will be addressed at the next meeting. Further to this, the BCRU have indicated that they can "piggyback" a VIRU website onto their website and perhaps create the website for us. The new BCRU Publicity Man, Andrew Smith, (formerly from U-Vic Comms.) if I understood it right, will apparently be sending news releases to the various media outlets...
