Attn: All VA rugby/sports clubs and any that train/play in VA.please
read the attached bill.



I got this from 1 of my fellow members of the Alexandria Youth Sports
Advisory Board. Apparently, there are some VA homeowners who choose to
live near athletic fields but now want the power to reduce and control
the number of hrs others can enjoy these fields. If a field your club
uses is near someone's house, that person could prevent your club from
getting an early start on wkends (youth rugby and tournaments), training
in the evening and playing anytime Sun if this bill passes. Thanks, and
let's make sure this bill fails before our limited field access gets
even worse than it is already.
