Minutes agreed of 2014/15 Agenda

1. Chairman’s Report – SM

 Tough start to season regarding Head Coach situation – Rob Shuttleworth appointed new coach with Bill French. Done a fantastic job and thank you for stepping up.  HRFC had an awesome season for the players – achieved goal of staying up in Midlands 3 (WS) – Played 21, won 8 drew 1 lost 12, finishing 12th.  Seconds been struggling for players – have really stuck with it when other clubs have just accepted situation. Fielded teams made up of 3 to 4 other club players and good to keep a side playing.  Aiming to integrate the club further with mini/junior and senior cohesion. Important to transition the Colts through to Seniors.  Looking at a new partnership with regards the use of HRFC car park – could be financially beneficially to the club – will keep people updated as it rolls forward.  Also looking at how the club facilities can be used all year round – looking to approach Rugby League members about using HRFC as a base dependent on their Whitnash arrangements, following successful matches last season.  Subs are in a good position  Thanked committee for their efforts – new committee so very much getting an understanding of the club and hope to further develop next year.  Individual thanks to Dave Andrews (pitch), Steve Peapell (bar), Kittendorf’s (food) and Heydon’s (Cleaning) 2. Treasurers report - IK
