Up-dating the ARU Website

We want this site to reflect Army rugby as it happens, wherever it is being played. This we will achieve in 3 ways:

1. The owners of the pages on this site must keep them up to date and "live" by updating them at least every month and more often if possible.
   
   
   • Updates for the Representative, Community, Women's and Veteran's pages must keep coming in.
   • We want features on trials, match reports, tour details, photos and player profiles and teams.
   
   
2. We want to reflect how our key competitions are going, such as the Army Rugby Union Premiership Cup, Army Rugby Union Community Cup, The Inter Corps Competition. Corps and Unit Rugby Officers representatives must send in match reports of their clashes.
   
   
3. The Ground Rules for writing articles are simple:
   
   
   • Before the game the teams are to agree who will write the article, and make sure there is someone there to take digital photos.
     
     
   • Get details of the team sheets and officials recorded. If you can get digital photos of the teams before the match even better!
     
     
   • Once the game is over get the article written and try to agree on what happened, and what the end result was!
     
     
   • Try to liven it up with interviews with Captains and Coaches … and if possible the Referee! Post match photos are a bonus!
     
     
   • Send the article to the ARU Secretary - Submission instructions are given above.



4. At grass roots level we want to provide a link between this site and Corps and Unit team sites. Send us your details and we will establish links straight from us to you. To do this contact our ARU Secretary.
   
   
5. The Website Editor will edit your submissions, choose the best images, make sure they fit, and are not too controversial!
   
   
6. Our Webmaster will normally get the site updated during the working week within 36 hours of receiving your input from the Website Editor, so you have no excuse for your page(s) being out-of-date!
