Just to clarify, this is - as I understand it - for levels 3 and below. Certainly there's no imminent announcement about level 2...

Are the Championship in the RFU leagues then?

I have a suspicion that the Premiership and Championship are RFU competitions, but not RFU Leagues, with the Championship being organised by FDR and the Premiership and cup by PRL.

I'm more interested in the community rugby fixtures than the Championship. As, after all, this is the clubhouse. Wink

Suits me, get Bedford Aths matches in the diary. 
Then adjust when Bedford Blues dates come in.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Luckily I have Bury St Edmunds Wolfpack and Shelford PeaHuckleberrys nearby plus Blues and Amps 

Plenty of rugby nearby - just need those dates

Thought it might be, but as you say - ‘used to’ - that body ceased to exist way back. Isn’t the clue about who runs the RFU Championship in the title?!

Now all we have to do is sit and wait and see what time of the day they will be published.

Just seen the Regional 1 South East - 12 teams

Bedford Ath
Harpendon
Colchester 
Letchworth 
Shelford 
Tring
Westcliff
Sudbury 
Rochford 
Oundle 
Old Northamptonians
Hertford

How does a club cope with just 11 Home fixtures - presumably no paid players, or very few

That's what the cup was meant to compensate for. But it's even more ridiculous having the team that is the furthest southeast from last year being moved into central.

It was the same set up last season so the argument to stay at 14 team leagues is now history  …….. although history can always be rewritten 🤞

I think ONs play in at least 3 Cups

National Cup (now Papa Js) and then 2 Northants Cups

Is the East Mids refs Cup still a thing?

Officially Level 5 Clubs don’t pay players.

The League structure from Level 5 down is due for review next summer under the agreement for the last restructure.

Some of these clubs will have full time DoR and lots of community coaches

Regional 1 (Level 5) payment threshold is £50k, the Regional 2 limit is zero.

Still no news about the release but I have noticed the LSE RFU have removed their fixtures news post for last year.

There has been no East Midlands Cup for at least 3 seasons, ONs enter the Northampton & District Rugby Association Alliance Cup and Lewis Shield
