Ltd Will be held at Chester R.U.F.C Hare Lane, Vicars Cross, Chester On at 12th June 2014 at 6.30pm. Cheshire Rugby Football Union Ltd. Incorporated under the Industrial & Provident Societies Act 1965 No 28989R MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your President for the next two years. I regard it as an honour and I am looking forward to doing my utmost to justify the trust you have placed in me. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Adrian Senn as the outgoing President for the immense amount of time and effort he has put in to more than fulfilling the duties of the office over the last two years and I know that he will be continuing working for the County in a disciplinary role as Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee East. Like you all I am a volunteer and part of the multitude of supporters who give their time week in and week out, in many cases doing the mundane but very important jobs, that ensure that as many people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to play the game we all love. I don’t profess to be a great committee man but what I do enjoy is watching rugby and meeting rugby people which I think is an important part of the role as President of the County. With this in mind it is my aim to visit as many clubs as possible for the very purpose of watching rugby and talking about it afterwards with like minded rugby people. I have a wish during my presidency to make all effort to ensure that clubs who wish to improve their grounds and clubhouses are given the opportunity to do so. There are many grants and loans now available to carry out either planned improvements or to help out in the case of emergency. There is money available and I will be happy to talk to any club seeking to carry out either repairs or improvements. All the volunteers who organise and coach our representative teams at all age levels do a wonderful job. The pinnacle of representative rugby is the County Championship. Last season we were very close to making the Final at Twickenham – which was an honour achieved by the County Under 20 team unfortunately just loosing out in the Final. Finally would like to wish every success to all the teams that represent the County and an enjoyable season to all our member clubs Martin Wroe Mobile : 07710 125348 Email: [email protected] PAST PRESIDENTS 1880-83 H.
