This informs parents about the process to follow in seeking dispensation.You will need to fill in your child’s details and get a medical certificate stating the weight and height of the child. If there are other relevant issues they’d like considered they need to include this too. They then need to forward this to the club’s registrar at registrar@bowralrugby.com.au Once approved they will be notified and only then will their child be able to play down.
