WHAT’S ON
We are at an exciting time of the year when we have the new season approaching.
It is the time of year when we look forward with hope that we can build on the successes of last year. For our Youth that will certainly be hard to achieve as the 2016/17 season brought record breaking success. For the 1st XV, finishing in the top three of the League is a target which the new Coaching partnership of Andy Powell and Martin Keylock believe is achievable. So we have a lot to look forward to and in the build up to the season the following matches have been arranged.

CLUB WEBSITE
AND COMMUNICATION
Through the Club website we are able to provide a regular means of communication. For a long time we have been conscious of the fact that communication with members, players, sponsors, vice presidents, etc has been far from satisfactory.
Over the last few months of the season we have trialled a communication format with our vice presidents and it proved to be successful. Most VP’s signed up to the scheme and I was able to regularly update them about fixtures, results, reports, videos, club functions and news. We now want to expand that communication into the main body of the club. If it is to be successful then anyone wishing to receive such news/information needs to sign up via the website. Some of you have already done that and so communication with those will commence just prior to the start of the season. If you haven’t signed up for email then the question obviously is...
