The Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 28th June, 1957, were confirmed and signed. Mr. A. Marshall: -" As is customary, the Report which is bcfore you and which 1 ask you to accept is in the nature of a synopsis of the happenings of t~e past season. It also reflects in sorne measure the work of 'your Committee during the year under review, but only in a general way, for no report could coyer adequately the thousand and one items of debate and the ramifications of the Administration in general. The Report has been circulated ta aU Clubs and brief referençeneed be made ta certain only of the several paragraphs. ln the matter of congratulations-it is perhaps invidious to mention names in a field of much com­ munal effort and that is why none is printed in this Report, but the services of certain people caU for special remark. International Matches. , We congratulate the players on their being chosen ta represent England, and especiaUy the Chairman of Selectors, Mr. Carston Catcheside, on the success of their choosing, and thank him for his vast interest and work. Twickenham. Covered by the two-line announcement that al! is now weU with the South Terrace is a success story of many and anxious meetings, of conflicting advices from experts, of bold decisions difficult to determine and with heavy responsibilities attaching, resulting finally in a reduction of expenditure amounting to man y thousands of pounds.· Our thanks and congratulations are due to the Ground Committee and to its Chair­ man, Mr. Ramsay. Laws. The considerable work of the previous year in preparing for the meeting of the International Board in January la st has been matched this year with the work of analysing and !Împlementing the conclusions reached by that Body. The Chairman of your Laws Committee, Mr. Cyril Gadney, has shouldered bis responsibility in a way inimitable and typical of his thoroughness in these matters: we should be failing, did ':0 we not give expression to our thanks and appreciation. Insurance. It is difficult to understand that less than halCthe Clubs in membership with the Union have thought fit ta avail themselves of the admirable coyer provided by the Unions' Insurance Scheme at such low cast. The Scheme is recommended for careful consideration by all those Clubs not already participating. Loans. It is under this heading that the function of the Union to give tangible aid ta Clubs and to the game generally is most apparent. A vast amount of work is involved each year in the negotiation of loans, and the services of the Hon. Asst. Treasurer, Mr. Eddie Saunders, in tbis matter must not go unremarked. Charitable Trust. Much good can accrue from the setting up C1f a charitable trust and the project has been brought ta fruition largely. through the pertinacity and drive displayed by Sir Wavell Wakefield, at one time in the face of sorne opposition-great credit is due to him. : Television •. By and large, the television of matches has contributed to a marked expansion of the field of interest in our game, to its ultimate good. Our aim must be to secure that Rugby Union Football is always presented in a light compatible with its tradition for robust, full-blooded sportsmanship, goodwill, and good fellowship. School Leavers. 15 years to 16 years. The question of catering for these boys is presenting a problem which is fast becoming nation-wide, and it is a complex one, especially in those Counties where no provision has been maqe in the past. Your Committee has debated the subject at length and f~èls that perhaps the County Constituent Bodies are best fitted to make the initial move towards securing an organised and unified attempt to meet the needs locally. In conclusion, a ward to the general personnel of our Counties and our Clubs-Officers, Committee men, and other helpers-and on the visits 1 have been able ta make. It is uplifting, and yet a humbling experience' for any President to discover what is being done by so many in sa many ways, to present our game ta the young men of our land, to foster and develop it when 3 it has been taken up, and to maintain it in those places where it has become the accepted thing-all without any thought of kudos, glamour or like reward. To yoJ and to those thousands of you up and down the Country who are giving in this way so generously, we déclare our acknowledgment of your services and our warmest thanks and approbation.

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.

    Neutral Citation Number: [2012] EWHC 1919 (QB) Case No: HQ12X01661 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION Royal Courts of Justice Strand, London, WC2A 2LL Date: 11 July 2012 Before : SIR RAYMOND JACK SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Between : PARK PROMOTION LIMITED T/A Claimant PONTYPOOL RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB - and - THE WELSH RUGBY UNION LIMITED Defendant - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ian Rogers (instructed by Messrs Geldards LLP) for the Claimants Adam Lewis QC and Tom Mountford (instructed by Messrs Charles Russell LLP) for the Defendants Hearing dates: 25, 26 and 27 June 2012 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Judgment Sir Raymond Jack : 1. This case is concerned with the right of the claimant, the Pontypool Rugby Club, a club with a proud history, to continue to play in the Premier Division of Welsh rugby in the 2012/13 season. The defendant is the Welsh Rugby Union, which organises and controls the sport of rugby union in Wales. It is the view of the WRU that as a result of the re-organisation of the Premier Division to reduce the number of clubs playing in it and Pontypool’s position in order of playing meritocracy of the fourteen clubs formerly in the division, the club is now only eligible to play in the Championship, the next division down. The essence of Pontypool’s case is that clubs which are above it on a basis of playing merit have not met the requirements to hold an A licence as required for the Premiership by the WRU’s National League Rules 2011/2012, and so there is a place for Pontypool within the Premiership.

Seasonal felicitations to you all & welcome back to Silver Leys for our first game of the New Year, one which holds great promise for our club. Welcome also to the players, officials and supporters of todays opponents Cinderford RFC. ‘2016’ has received a lot of bad press but it was pretty good to us! Bonus point victories in our last four games whilst others surprisingly dropped points, meant we finished the year on top of the heap, which was an unexpected and very pleasant early Christmas present. Last time out here we overcame a spirited Exmouth team 38-7. They certainly didn’t play like they were bottom of the table, which illustrates the competitive nature of this league. In the pre-Christmas game at Bury St Edmunds, our large and vociferous band of travelling supporters helped negate any benefit the Suffolk side may have expected by being at home. Ultimately though games are won and lost on the pitch and once again our guys produced a polished performance to run out comfortable 33-16 winners.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Rugby Football Union SPORT in OUR COMMUNITIES
    Written evidence submitted by the Rugby Football Union SPORT IN OUR COMMUNITIES – RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION RESPONSE TO DCMS SELECT COMMITTEE INQUIRY ORGANISATIONAL SUMMARY The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is the governing body for Rugby Union in England. Across England there are four million people enjoying rugby, 500,000 regular players with more than 100,000 volunteers in almost 2,000 clubs. All profit made by the RFU is invested back into the community game and the men’s and women’s England age grade and senior teams. This written submission details the governance of Rugby Union in England and how the future of the community game can be secured. 1. ARE CURRENT SPORTS GOVERNANCE MODELS FIT FOR PURPOSE? The RFU has a co-operative structure. Rather than being a company, it is a society registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act, meaning that it is a members’ organisation. The membership is predominantly rugby clubs, both professional and amateur. The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategic direction of the RFU, and has the authority to exercise all executive functions other than clearly specified powers which are reserved to Council or the members. The Board is designed to be a combination of representatives of the game elected from the RFU Council, together with executive staff and independent non-executive directors. Directors are appointed through a rigorous skills based selection process to ensure the right combination of skills, experience and knowledge. With the exception of executive staff, all Board members are subject to limits on the time they can serve on the Board as set out in the RFU’s Rules.
