Mini Teams for a tour?

Farnham are organising a tour to Exmouth for 11th April, and are looking for U9 and U10 age groups to join them. If you are considering a tour this April, and fancy a trip to the west country, then do please get in touch.

Fixture Extravaganza 2010

Many thanks to all who attended this year's event at the 'St George's Suite in Twickenham. Over 250 people were there, representing some 60 clubs and throughout the night many fixtures and deals were made! More importantly, we were able to send a cheque for £600 as our charitable donation to support Max Levene, a 17 year old player made tetraplegic just before Christmas 09.

We were also able to finally honour Alan 'Blackie' Black for his unstinting support over the last 24 years, championing youth, and grass roots rugby. Alan has been a tremendous help and we wish him well in his retirement. Something tells us he won't actually be stopping from doing too much...

Pictures of the event are available here in the events tab.

New Year, New Software!

As you will no doubt have noticed, the Fixture Exchange software has been upgraded once again. In this new version you have got all of the functionality of the previous software, but can now specify 'A', 'B' and 'Dev' teams when you add a team to the system. This was probably the most frequently requested addition to the software.

We have also taken the opportunity to move to a twelve month subscription. This means that you pay once a year at a time that suits you, and your subscription will expire a full year later. When you log in you'll find you have a page that tells you about the status of your membership. If your account expires you can still log in, but won't be able to access any of the fixtures. You can manage your club information, renew your membership or delete your account.

Whilst we have taken every step to test the system, we would appreciate you letting us know if you find something that doesn't appear to work as it should. Please use the link below to contact us and give us the news!

We have also moved to a newer and faster server, which should give you a better overall experience of using Fixex.

New Season - Subs Due

As the new season is nearly upon us it is a good time to remind you all that subs are due! We have moved to a 12 month subscription system, but many clubs pay around the beginning of the season anyway, so it's a good idea to log in and check the account expiry date on your 'dashboard' page. If your account expires, your fixtures will not show to other users.

2008/9 donation

This year we were delighted to be able to donate £600.00 to S.P.I.R.E on behalf of all our members. This is the highest single amount that we have been able to give, which is down to our members being part of the system.

The subscription fee for the club is used to cover our costs for running fixex, but no profit is made. All proceeds are donated to charity and this donation is known as the 'Peter Conner Award', in memory of the late Peter Conner who ran the exchange so well.

Each year we look for a worthy cause to donate the award to, and in future you will be asked to nominate a cause. The only stipulation is that it must be linked to Rugby in some way.

Many thanks to all who have joined the exchange!
