School Whitgift Middle School W oodpeckers Yarnbury The Notice convening the Meeting was read by the Secretary. The Minutes of the Annual General Meeting -held on 23rd June, 1950, were confirmed and signed. The President (Sir Wavell Wakefield)extended a cordial welcome to aIl members present and also to the representatives of the Press to whom he offered warmest thanks for the work they had done and were doing for Rugby Union football. Continuing, Sir Wavell Wakefield said :-" The Annual Report for the past seàson has been circulated and there is no need for me to refer to the various matters covered by- that Report. 1 would not, however, like this occasion to pass without reference to the losses Rugby Union Football has suffered through deaths. Lastyear 1 described the early history of the purchase of the Twickenham property and the important part the late Billy Williams played in that purchase. His name will always be associated in Rugby history with our Home Ground. History will also remember with gratitude the great work the late Mr. C. F. Rutherford did in developing the game of Rugby Football in France and in initiating International Matches between France and the Home Countries. Reference was made last year to the most valuable work that Mr. Creasey did as Hon. Treasurer of the Rugby Union for a number of years. He literally died in the service of our Game. No one did more to place the provision of Referees for Clubs on an organised and efficient basis and to give opportunity for exchange of views and discussion on the problems of our Game than did the late Arthur Trollope. These men gave much to our Game. So long as others continue to come forward to give back into the Game as these men have do ne in their generation in the same measure, so will our Game continue to flourish in the years to come. In this connection 1 would llke to take this opportunity to refer to the immense amount of work done by Humphrey F. Ellis, whom some of you may know better as ' H.F.E.' of Punch. He was the author of 'Why the Whistle Went ' and is now engaged in completing the new coaching manual which 1 hope will be published during the course of next season. Rugby Union Football owes and will owe him much for the work he has done and is doing for the improvement of our game. The increase in the playing of Rugby Football in our schools continues. The reason for this progress, 1 believe, is due to the wise guidance we have had in past years from those who had charge of the administra­ tion of our Game before us. The great traditions of our Game were established by them. So long as we continue to follow the principles they laid down, then 1 have no fear at aIl for the future of our Game. During the recent season at Club Dinners and on other occasions in the speeches 1 have made, 1 have referred to these principles. 1 ask your indulgence at the conclusion of my year of Presidency if 1 once again stress what 1 consider to be· the three main principles which· should' always underlie the playing and administering of our Game:- . (1) To conserve the amateur spirit and traditions· of our Game ; (2) To maintain the Laws of our Game in the interests of the players and the players alone; (3) To improve the quality of the playing of our Game. 1 believe our Game is spreading (particularly in the schools) because of our continued close observance of these three principles. 1 hope that this may ever be the case. In the Annual Report reference was made to our pleasure at welcoming Representatives from the Dominions to the International Board Meetings held this year. 1 am glad to say that relationships between the four Home Countries and the Dominions have never been on a firmer, closer or happier basis. Some of the results of their deliberations you will be asked to receive . later on this evening. We are looking forward with the greatest possible pleasure to the visit of the South Africans during the coming Beason. We can assure them of the warmest of welcomes. 1 do hope that as many people as possible will find- it convenient to meet them at Southampton, where they are due to arrive on Friday, 28th September. The Committee loses a valued member of the Selection Committee-its Chairman-by the call of duty requiring Surgeon Captain Osborne's service overseas. The task of the Chairman of the Selection Committee is an onerous one. To Surgeon Capt. Osborne and his fellow selectors, we give our best thanks for the work they did la st season. That their efforts were not as successful as they and we hoped is but the luck of the Game. We hope that the newChairman-H. C. Catcheside~will have all the luck that is going, and 1 think he will need it for success against what 1 believe will be found to be a formidable Springbok side. An increase in the playing of Rugby Union Football in various parts of the world outside the British CommOnwealth and Empire is taking place.' It seems to your Committee desirable that a study should be made and information obtained of what is happening.

Welcome to Silver Leys for our final home game before Christmas and of course 2016. I would especially like to welcome the Players, Officials and Supporters of Exmouth RFC. Everyone lucky enough to be here for our last home match against league leaders Chinnor will agree that they witnessed a compelling game. Even better it resulted in us registering a five point win over our rivals whilst restricting them to just the one try bonus point. Whilst the outcome of the match was never going to have a decisive impact on either team’s future. Our victory certainly made things a lot tighter at the top and sent the majority of those present, home with a smile on their face. I did say that a vocal crowd would make all the difference and so it proved. In the process we also discovered that we have some very capable ‘Banter-mime villains’ in our midst –Boo-Hiss!! Last Saturday at Redingensians was just as exciting. We managed to snatch a bonus point victory from half-way down the throat of defeat.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.
