Incorporated under the Industrial & Provident Societies Act 1965 No 28989R 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Many Presidents have stated that they are extremely honoured to have been elected President of the County. To me it is the greatest honour of my life to be elected your President . As many Past Presidents have made it their mission during their tenure to visit as many of the County’s Clubs as possible, I will endeavour to continue in the same vein. Having been in the fortunate position to have visited many Clubs in an official capacity (referee) it will give me great pleasure to visit on a more informal basis, hoping to assist any Club that can utilise the County’s help and support. I would like to offer my congratulations to the Clubs who were promoted from their leagues and to the winners of the County Cup, Plate, Vase and Bowl competitions. Cheshire is well known and respected throughout the rugby community and long may it continue. I am just the figure head of extremely dedicated and hard working committees which all have the good name of Cheshire in their hearts. We will continue to develop our youth and younger age groups, it is these that will populate future sides at all levels. On behalf of the County, I would like to thank all the hundreds of volunteers, coaches, administrators and referees as well as the supporters who make the game of rugby so successful throughout the County. I am looking forward to the coming season, renewing past friendships and meeting new members of all the Clubs that I visit. Here’s to a good season in 2015/16 and may Rugby be the winner.

    Annual Report 2017 -2018

    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

    Mbe for Maggie Active Rugby

    August 2012 Issue 148 The Official Newspaper of The RFU and RFUW BEAUMONT MBE FOR MAGGIE Julia Hutton BECOMES England Women’s flanker Margaret Alphonsi was recently honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. One of the most well-known names in women’s rugby, with RFU her barnstorming performances during the 2010 Rugby World Cup earning her fans all around the world, the 28 year old was honoured for her services to rugby. CHAIRMAN Making her debut as a 19 year old against the USA in 2003, Alphonsi now has an impressive 63 caps and has played in two XVs Rugby World Cups (2006 & 2010) where England finished second to New Zealand on both occasions. She also featured in the inaugural 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, where England lifted the Plate. Most recently, Alphonsi was part of the England team that defeated the world champions New Zealand in an historic three-Test series last autumn, as well as helping England to a record-breaking seventh consecutive Six Nations title, and a sixth Grand Slam in seven years. England also became the first team in Six Nations history not to concede a try in that tournament. “I’m so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen,” said Alphonsi. “What makes it so special is that it doesn’t just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team – I wouldn’t have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFU and my England teammates.

Incorporated under the Industrial & Provident Societies Act 1965 No 28989R 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT . It is many years ago, more than I care to remember, when I pulled on the under 15 Cheshire school’s shirt, which was to be the beginning of my Cheshire journey; to be asked to be President of Cheshire RFU is the pin- nacle of this journey and I am truly honoured to accept. Having refreshed my memory on the long history of past Cheshire Presidents it has focused my mind on the task in front of me for which I will endeavour to meet the high standards my predecessors have set. My playing days in addition to my under 15 Cheshire caps included under 18 Cheshire schools and seven seasons playing for the Cheshire senior side.

The Story of the Belgian Refugees during the Great War. By Alan Lowe. Aliens in Mid Cheshire. The story of the Belgian refugees. A fact that is not widely known is that a few hundred Belgian refugees found their way to Mid Cheshire in the first months of WWI. They were welcomed with open arms at first with the people of the area organising places for them to stay, finding or making clothes for them and putting on shows and entertainment to help pay for their welfare. But as might be expected that welcome wore thin as the months and years went by, and after an initial rush to organise fund raisers and entertainment for the visitors they slowly disappeared from the pages of the local press only to reappear when they were involved in some minor fracas or a baptism or in two sad cases, funerals. As many as 250,000 made it to Britain. They came to escape the German hordes who had invaded their country. Many more that had entered Holland for the same reason were denied access to Britain because the Dutch government felt that allowing them to go might affect their neutral status. In Mid Cheshire they were housed at the Grange in Hartford, (Not the present school but a building further back.) at Wharton Lodge in Winsford (kindly donated by Miss Aspinall-Dudly.) and at Bachelor's Hall in the Avenue at Winnington, the latter thanks to the generosity of Sir John Brunner who also donated £1,000 towards their upkeep.

    Lancashire County Rugby Football Union Annual Report 2018-19

    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As ever my first job is to thank our President for the great work he has done this season. Dave Clarke has been unfailing in his club visits and is a true supporter of Rugby. He has been instrumental in the formation of the ADM Lancashire Leagues which has helped many of our clubs play more local matches. This has seen a number of players staying within the game. With the frequency of his more than daily telephone calls to discuss some issue in the game my children now do a very good impression of the Ginger Ninja from Wigan. Both Dave and myself are indebted to Mrs President, Anne. As well as being his secretary, Anne has deputised for me in meetings and acted as the minutes secretary in our general meetings. Thank you both. To Rugby, both our Senior Mens and Womens XVs failed to reach their finals which was not for want of trying, all our representative players should be thanks for the effort they put in to pulling on the Red & White hoops at the end of a long tiring club season. We will be back. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team who work hard to provide these opportunities. Our 20s team did make their day out in Twickenham where they went down to a very strong Yorkshire team, I’m sure we will be seeing more of these lads progressing through to our Senior XV and more success in County Rugby.
