Recognition for voluntary helpers
We were pleased to welcome Lee Adamson from the Rugby Football Union to the Club to present three of our outstanding volunteers; Anthony Norman, Colin Page and Kelly Hills with V.I.P. ties and a scarf from the RFU to thank them for there voluntary work at the Club.
Anthony is an incredible enthusiastic coach who has driven the Mini’s section forward and seen great growth in his age group, he shows selfless personal commitment to rugby.
Colin Page as you may know was the Chair of the Junior Club prior to me and did and excellent job of growing the Youth and Mini’s Committee. The weight of other work that he carries out at the Club (for which we are all very grateful) meant he could no long continue in the role of Chair.
Kelly Hills took on the onerous job of child welfare officer and has done an exemplary job of dealing with all of the new policies and seal of approval.
