Approval of the minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 14th June 2019 No substantive comments were received, the minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 14th June 2019 were APPROVED. 2. Chief Executive’s Report for Season 2019/2020 Bill Sweeney welcomed those who had joined the virtual AGM and started by noting that this is the most challenging period for our sport in modern times. The global pandemic means the RFU has to focus on the immediate need to preserve the RFU, maintain our liquidity and support the community game, while taking advantage of any opportunities that this crisis presents. Currently, the RFU is focused on short-term stabilisation of the business and longer term planning for our future in the new environment. Supporting grassroots clubs and a thriving community game, consistently winning England teams, a focus on our people and a strong business model remain at the forefront of all planning and decision-making. The RFU is working with the Department of Digital, Media Culture and Sport (DCMS) on the specific financial impact of Covid-19 on the RFU and making suggestions on potential Treasury help to support rugby and other National Governing Bodies. The RFU will, however, have to make important and difficult decisions on managing our resources for the long term as consequences of this crisis will have a lengthy and significant impact. The RFU is involved in preparation for the elite return to play guidance and working, led by Sport England, on the return to community sport guidance. Our roadmap of steps to restart training and playing rugby was shared with the rugby community last week. Most clubs will want a swift return given concerns over retaining players and generating revenue streams but the RFU decisions must be based on the best interests of players, volunteers and clubs and so the RFU will only move from one stage to the next when guidance and advice says that it is safe to do so. Sweeney went on to note that on 16th March the RFU became one of the first sports to suspend play, ending the season outside of the Premiership four days later, providing clarity and allowing clubs to reduce costs. On 2nd April the RFU announced the mechanism to determine final league standings for the season. On 25th March the RFU announced pay cuts within the RFU and immediately reduced costs throughout the business by stopping all non-essential activity. On the same day the RFU launched a £7 million support fund for the community game as well as helping clubs to access small business grants from government and financial aid from Sport England. The RFU furloughed 60% of RFU staff, while providing regular updates, advice and webinars for the game. Twickenham’s North Car Park became a drive-through coronavirus testing facility on 18th April reaching a peak capacity of just over 1000 tests per day. The 2019/2020 season was already budgeted to be a loss-making year within a four-year cycle, due to the costs of the 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign and only hosting two home Six Nations games. The financial impact of coronavirus on sport has been dramatic and the RFU laid out the repercussions to a DCMS Select Committee in early May.The RFU has considered a range of potential scenarios that project a revenue reduction of between £27m and £103m for the financial year 2020/2021. For the remainder of the 2019/2020 season the situation is constantly moving, but the RFU expect to achieve figures within £2-3m of budget, which is an excellent result given that the RFU have lost over £15m of revenues in March to June 2020 due to cancelled events. Our business model is similar to most rugby clubs: the RFU earns revenue from events on and off the field, with 55% of revenue coming from ticketing & hospitality, and invest that back into the game. The RFU benefits from strong Twickenham Stadium revenues but is also affected if there is widespread cancellation of games and events. Twickenham welcomed 471,992 rugby fans, with capacity crowds at the Quilter Summer Internationals and our two Guinness Six Nations Test matches, but in lockdown the revenues these fans bring cease and no longer fuel the game. Sweeney explained that Project Union defined our purpose, vision and mission and a clear set of objectives. The RFU had to refocus and launch Project Rise to coordinate the considerable amount of change required. This has included concentrating on restarting our core activity and reshaping what the RFU does over the next 12 to 18 months and beyond. From this, the RFU 4 of 11 now has two equally important objectives: to ensure that it has the right capabilities across the organisation to deliver our core activities and strategy with the resources available. Additionally, the organisation will have to focus on doing less and with fewer resources as Covid-19 hits both our short and longer-term revenues.

  • 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.

    Gate Post Harrogate Rugby Union Football Club Founded 1871 Gate Post No. 119 February 2021 This newsletter is sent to all the supporters, current and past members of Harrogate Rugby Club for whom we have an email address. Your contributions would be most welcome along with your feedback. Burns Night January 25th is the birthday of Robert Burns and the Harrogate Touchline Internationals, always looking for an excuse for a celebration, would traditionally join together for a night out and a wee dram. Roy Guy recalls one Burns Night in particular. ‘Thinking of this took me back to a TI Burns Night Supper held at Claro Road in the small room later used as an office. My outstanding recollections are that the room was overcrowded, and I spent the evening being jammed against the wall by a very large Leo Niemic. When it was time to toast the haggis someone produced what was said to be a Burns first edition poetry book and the owner, together with our greatly lamented Glyn Smith, whilst attempting to find the correct passage, recklessly handled and thumbed through it as though it was a cheap magazine. Alcohol may have played a part in their behaviour.’ The photograph shows some of the TIs in the Claro Road office ready to celebrate. Left to right: Gordon Ogilvie, Brian Hemming, Glyn Smith, Malcolm Spark, David Bowen. Who’s Who Fotherby, David. Junior Chairman and Ground Secretary 2005 to 2007. Fowler, George. George appears on the Colts team photograph in 1948 and on the 1st XV photograph 1952/1953.

  • DRAFT CRFC – Our History Timeline
    DRAFT CRFC – Our History Timeline 1926 - Chichester City Rugby Football Club was founded. Based on enthusiasm from supporters of the Chichester School Rugby team at Langley House, West Street, the school chaplain, the Rev R G T Gillman, called a meeting to discuss the formation of a senior rugby team in Chichester. The Dolphin & Anchor was used as the clubhouse and bar. Under the chairmanship of Lt-Col Coates the club flourished. The team included Jack Clemens, Russell Hillsden, Tiny Humphries, Cecil Herniman and Jack Treger. First season opponents included Portsmouth Casuals, Fareham & US Portsmouth. Home games were played at Lavant, Chichester Police Station, College Lane and Somerstown. 1928 - Club reorganised as Chichester & Bognor Rugby Football Club to encourage expansion. 1934 - The club amalgamates with the West Sussex County Officers Club and is renamed as Chichester Rugby Club. 1939 - Chichester City Council acquired the land that forms Oaklands Park for £11,000. At this time, it comprised of residential buildings, a farmyard and farm land. In the early part of the Second World War a massive water reservoir was built which could be used to provide water to fight fires in the event of a blitz. It had been built to the dimensions of an Olympic sized swimming pool. Hay-making was also a prominent sight in this area throughout the duration of the war. After the war the park was opened up for sporting use. The first club to be offered facilities at the park was Chichester RFC 1939-1945 – WWII halts rugby. 1946 - Home ground established at Oaklands Park.

  • 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.
