WELCOME TO
LEE THOMAS
Gwernyfed Rugby Club have changed the format of its committee structure recently. delegating a large part of the decision-making process to their newly formulated 'Sub Committees'
We're therefore delighted to welcome Lee Thomas into new his role within the 'Senior Players & Youth Sub-Committee' as the 'Team Manager' of the 1st Team, Athletic & Development Sides. He will be working along side Dai Roberts as Chairman and Carwyn Phillips (Youth Team Manager) plus selected senior players from the various sides.
Lee will bring a wealth of ‘Rugby knowledge’ after long and successful player careers with both Tumble RFC (down West) and Gwernyfed RFC. He has already demonstrated his expertise in management by working hard with the players throughout the close season and he's looking forward to the arduous task of working with Chay Billen and Danny Skyrme in selecting sides for the 1st XV and Athletic XV’s League campaigns. Lee's role will also include the securing of future players for Gwernyfed RFC. He will help build on last year's successful Development games where we see an integration of the more senior youth boys playing along side senior players in selected friendly matches.
We wish Lee well in his new role and the very best for the coming season - it will, no doubt, be demanding but also highly rewarding and let's make sure we all give him the support he'll need in providing yet another successful season for the Green, Black & Whites...

WHERE OUR MONEY GOES...
In August 2016 I took over as Club Treasurer. There have been many changes over the last twelve months.
We have introduced a new structure, moving from General Committee to a Board of Directors. We have then formed sub committees to help run the Club on a day to day basis. This has then, in turn, led to the whole structure of the Club accounts changing. They are now done electronically using Sage which enables me to produce management accounts. Club sub committees will all be given a budget to work from. The Club will now be able to have an even firmer control on its finances.
The finance committee has been able to cut many costs within the season for several of the main running costs such as electric, gas and telephone. The club was in surplus this year and we will look to keep it in surplus and make it more cost effective all round.
