The club encourages all members to make use of the facilities and organize club events and it's pretty easy:

1. If it's an event requiring the club to cover expenses of any form or requiring ticket sales, please create a simple budget.

   • There's a simple budget template here and if that's not accessible, email treasurer@crusadersrugby.ca for any events that involve club ordering, special bar opening or event ticketing

   • If this is an event requiring ticket/entry sales, the event will need to be setup in the Club Shop to accept payments: treasurer@crusadersrugby.ca - we don't accept cash payments to ticketed events

   • Send the budget to by email treasurer@crusadersrugby.ca prior to making arrangements with the bar for food or special opening (if applicable)

2. Check field/clubhouse availability for your dates at www.crusadersrugby.club/calendar/

3. Add the Event to Teamsnap

   • A coach or a rugby director may need to add the event into Teamsnap for you. Club-wide events will need to be added by the Events/Tournaments director using the "Club Event" short tag. Team-specific events can be added by coaches and managers.

   • In addition to informing specific teams/groups via Teamsnap, Teamsnap events will automatically be published to the main website calendar at: www.crusadersrugby.club/calendar/ (there may be a delay before the entry appears on the main site)

4. Book Bar/Food:

   • If less than a week away, email bar@crusadersrugby.ca to ensure it can be staffed and food is available. Generally, we need at least 10 days notice to make special food orders from our suppliers and we won't reimburse any expenses incurred if you have to make last-minute purchases from a supermarket etc.

   • If an event requires food, please confirm your needs with bar@crusadersrugby.ca at least 10 days in advance.

5. Event Communications:

   • If appropriate, ask communications@crusadersrugby.ca to help publicize via:

     • Facebook

     • Instagram: Junior and Senior

     • Mass Mailchimp emails

     • Twitter: Junior and Senior

     • Teamsnap event or club messages

Notes:

• No cash-at-door events

• Events need to pass through the club books for legal, insurance and taxation purposes - do not run events off to the side
