We know that many of you enjoy exercising your dogs on the rugby fields and showground, and most of you are very good at clearing up in the proper manner. Unfortunately, we have recently experienced an amount of dog fouling on our grounds and, as you must appreciate, this is a particular health risk to our players, some of whom are as young as five-years-old.

There is also an increase in dog excrement bags being left on the grounds and some placed in our pitchside litter bins - please ensure you use the dog bin sited outside our main gates.

Please respect our players and keep all dogs on leads and off our playing surfaces at all times. We will of course need to revisit our dog policy if the situation does not improve rapidly.

Thank you in advance,

Chinnor RFC Thame
