AGM 2022

Current officers reported on progress made over the last twelve months and generally speaking the club has made excellent progress across a number of areas, in no particular order some of the highlights on our first full season post-covid include:

Reasonably strong financial progress with the club making a small profit despite investing over £10k in ground and changing room improvements

Significant growth in the Women’s section which has recruited more players and played more games than previous season with a particularly strong presence at training and social events

Strong growth in what was a rebuilding year for the Juniors, big increases in numbers and more festivals played

Touch rugby continues to frow year on year, increasing numbers almost becoming a problem! (but a nice problem to have!)

Club hosted a number of events including Work socials, Varsity Match and a Wedding

PR and Publicity was significantly improved

Project 40 fundraising was kicked off and has made an excellent start, with new floodlights now being installed

The senior men’s section fulfilled all of their fixtures but took a few heavy defeats on the way. There are plans being put in place to rectify the situation and strengthen the team for next season
