BRAND NEW & PERMANENT INFORMATION POINT!

JOIN UP, JOIN UP

Prior to Christmas, the Club will be selling Big Ballot tickets priced at £5 per book (or £1 per individual ticket). The money raised from the sale of these tickets goes towards funding the annual URSC Jack Kyle Bursary award worth £2,500, won last season by Joe Dunleavy, and providing additional expertise for the players at the Ulster Rugby Academy - with £2,000 donated last season by URSC to Ulster Academy Performance Psychology Programme for Ulster’s youngest and brightest players. Details of the Big Ballot prizes will be publicised over the coming weeks and months - and there are some absolute belters! We are so grateful to local businesses for donating these - please support them. The URSC Information Point will be located in new permanent premises on match nights at Kingspan Stadium – the area of the Ulster Rugby administrative offices which were previously home to “OUR Club” – just beside the Mount Merrion turnstiles. The Information Point is open from gates opening through to 15 minutes before kick-off and again for about 15 minutes after the final whistle. Pop along to see us and have a chat, pay for your Big Ballot tickets, book your places on our buses to the inter-pros, vote for our player of the month and player of the season. BIG BALLOT Further information on URSC news and events can be found at www.ursc.co and our twitter page @UlsterRSC. Email enquiries should be sent to info@ursc. co.uk (unless related to email addresses given for specific events such as bus travel, membership and international tickets; these are separate to aid the committee member running the relevant event). INFORMATION ONLINE There will be exclusive competitions for URSC members throughout the season. COMPETITIONS It’s also worth noting that there is also a Facebook community closed group, Ulster Rugby Supporters Club, and it is open to both members and non-members.

With the Rugby World Cup taking place in Japan, the domestic season starts a little later than usual this season. The new season will also be our first for over a decade without Rory Best, Chris Henry and Darren Cave... however we seem to have recruited well to both the playing and coaching staff, and Dan McFarland will have had a full pre-season to prepare his squad. Plenty of reasons, therefore, to be optimistic… so why not join the Ulster Rugby Supporters Club this season? COSTS Membership costs £12, with juniors paying £6. Family membership is £30. MEMBERSHIP PACK All members get a membership pack containing: » A membership card » a 2019/20 members’ badge » a car sticker » and a club buff For those of you who have already joined this season, you can collect your 2019/20 membership pack from the URSC Information Point (see below) tonight! We will have Meet the Players events on 21 October, 25 November and 10 February and at each of these events there will be ballots held to win rugby shirts and signed memorabilia from around the rugby world. MEET THE PLAYERS Members can enter our draw for the right to buy Ireland home international tickets. We will have 25 pairs of tickets available for each Six Nations match - Wales, Scotland and Italy. Remember, the first name out of the hat wins their tickets for free! INTERNATIONAL TICKETS Our Big Yella buses will be going to Munster on Saturday 9 November, Leinster on Friday 20 December and Connacht on Saturday 25 April – here’s hoping we have better luck than last season!
