Help Bill Burch from Lineout Video…fellow rugger

From Aubrey Edge – High Desert Tournament Director

I was going to send out a thank you to all the teams.. in the tournament tonight but will compose an email by the end of the week… but something are more important and I wanted to give you some news….

Bill Burch from Lineout video has been traveling from coast to coats taping rugby tournaments from a long time… and that is his prime income…. He is a nice man.. and hard worker… He drove all the way from Virginia to tape team games at the High Desert Rugby classic.

Over the 15 years that I have played rugby I have learned about the sprint of Rugby and that ALL rugby players have a bond of brother/sisterhood… you can go anywhere and rugby players or teams will take care of most players… especially when ruggers are in need…

Bill Burch’s van on Saturday night was broken in to and all his windowssmashed in. After they broken in to his van they stole a lot of items out of the van including all the Saturday footage from the High Desert.They got my two good cameras, Tripod, Labtop , rugby bag, 50 DVD movies, fire wire, jumper cables and also his cell phone and some other stuff…… The stuff was hidden in the back out of site and was the only care broken in to… so if anyone knows anything please let me know…

Here is the ruggers sticking together part…

If all the teams or individuals send him some money that would be good – any amount would help him out.. he still has a lot he will have to pay for even if he had insurance with deductibles plus not making any moneyfor his business this weekend… ANY amount would help I’m not asking to pay for a camera just send him some money to help the man out…..

The Aardvarks and High Desert Committee is going to send him some equipment, rugby bag and some other stuff plus money… The Arkansas Iron Maidens are also going to do the same.

If you choose to send a check put what club you play for at the bottom so he know what team is supporting him in a time of need..
