Foreword by John Douglas, Chairman of the Adult Competition Review Steering Group 1.1 Over the quarter of a century since competitive league rugby was introduced, much has changed within rugby and in society as a whole. Within rugby, anecdotal and statistical evidence indicates that most clubs field fewer teams now than they once did. The socio-economic environment in which our clubs operate has changed beyond all recognition and the pace of change is likely to continue to increase. With it the requirements of players, supporters and club administrators – in other words, our customers – will also change. Predicting and satisfying those future requirements has been the overriding concern of this review.

  • 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.

  • Member Profile – David Pringle Club Captain for 3 Seasons 1973-74 to 1975-76, Club President 1988-90. Club County Rep, County
    Member Profile – David Pringle Club Captain for 3 Seasons 1973-74 to 1975-76, Club President 1988-90. Club County Rep, County Player, County Selector, County President 2014-15. (1st XV Caps – 332, County Caps – approx. 30, Carded as a non-travelling reserve for England, 1973, versus All Blacks, Wales, and Ireland) Education Tritlington C of E Primary School – Friends School. Brookfield Wigton, where I was introduced to rugby and finally settled as a scrum half and represented Cumbria at Under 15 level playing against Northumberland, among others. Left school after O Levels in 1959. Employment Returned to work for parents on home farm; Peigh Hills. They also rented Bellion Farm at Netherwitton which became our residence after marriage in 1970. Became independent by splitting from family partnership and moved to South Healey Farm, Netherwitton. Retired to Longhorsley, due to ill health in 2002. Favourite Music Always enjoy Country and Western, The Carpenters and nothing too highbrow. Favourite Films Saw many good action films on “leave out” of boarding school. The Guns of Naverone sticks in my mind. If I were not a flanker I suppose I have answered that by switching. Started as a scrum half and finished there. Most difficult opponents Two come to mind immediately – Andy Ripley (Rosslyn Park) and Dave Hoyland (Morley) – I have vivid memories of being swatted like a fly whilst trying to stop him scoring in the Northern Sevens. Phil Horrocks-Taylor and Mike Weston’s side steps were also troublesome. Favourite Players (in the same team) There were many as I was privileged to play in several invitation games which included – Phil Bennett, J.J.
