Applications for dispensations for both playing up and down of age group players need to be made at the start of each season (i.e. they do not carry over). All applications need to be made to Lancs RFU via club CSO Nick Stafford.
Lancs RFU will be undertaking reviews and discussing Dispensations on the 20th of every month (at the commencement of the new season) and will notify and issue certificates if appropriate by the 27th of that same month (within 7 days).
Guidance on dispensations can be found in Regulation 15 on the RFU website
