Hide AdLaw and District AAC is looking for volunteers to assist at its Biggar base, helping coach young athletes on a Monday evening at Biggar Rugby Club from 6.45pm to 8pm.
The club hope to return to training there in August, Government guidelines permitting, but they are really short of coaches and helpers.
