	Welcome to the new Community Rugby e-news. This e-newsletter is designed for those in the Rugby Community and is broken into the 4 sections COACHING, OFFICIATING, ADMINISTERING, and PLAYING. These changes will also be implemented on the Community Rugby website, in an effort to make our information easier for you to access. Each Community Rugby e-newsletter will also have a direct link to the Online Coaching Centre, which is a valuable tool provided FREE to the Coaching Community from the ARU. This month's issue will discuss the Experimental Law Variations which will take place in Premier Rugby clubs around Australia and will also profile Matt Tink, the Coach Education Manager at RugbyWA. The Officiating Section lists the Schools Scholarship Program and looks at the 2008 Referee Panels around the Country. Finally, there are tips for assisting you in Running your Club, and the 2008 Women's National Training Squad is announced. We hope you enjoy the new format to the E-news, which has been sent to you as a Rugby Administrator, and we encourage feedback on any additional information or other suggestions you might have.
