We acknowledge the fact that under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 the Welsh language has official status, and should be treated no less favourably than the English language.

We believe that it is good practise to provide services in the language of choice to our members and visitors. We also believe that it shows respect by facilitating the use of their chosen language in our club.

We will ensure that we make constant progress towards achieving this ambition and this Policy sets out our current commitments in relation to using the Welsh Language.

Scope

The scope of our commitments in this policy should be interpreted as:

• limited to the activities of the club and those that are delivered to our Members
• limited to the activities and services which we are able to control or influence.

Public Image

Signage - where possible, our permanent signs are bilingual. We will ensure any new permanent signs are bilingual, wherever it is practically possible and financially viable to do so.

Corporate Brand - our corporate brand is in English only.

Website and Digital Services - we will use more Welsh in our digital services whenever it is possible to do so.

Advertising and Marketing - where possible, events organised by South Gower RFC will be advertised and promoted bilingually. Bookings for events will be advertised and promoted in the language best suited to that activity.

Although we will endeavour to provide all printed materials bilingually, we will consider the environmental impact and may make judgements on whether to provide material in whichever language is appropriate.
