BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION LIMITED Season 2016 / 2017 H A N D B O O K bucksrfu.pitchero.com BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION LIMITED Registered Number: 28986 R website: bucksrfu.pitchero.com Buckinghamshire Rugby Football Union was founded on Friday, 16th July 1949 at a meeting held at the Red Lion Hotel in High Wycombe. Colours: Red & Black Chairman’s Foreword Welcome to the new County Handbook which I hope you will find to be a useful source of valuable information about our County and our Clubs. I hope that you find the fixture lists a useful feature, enabling you to support our Bucks Clubs. Please also refer to our Website: bucksrfu.pitchero.com This site holds all the relevant information and news about Bucks Rugby. Please contact the Webmaster if you have any information or news that needs to be shared. Remember, the website is only as good as its content so let’s all contribute! The season 2015/16 was again a huge success for Rugby in the County with the Bucks U 20 XV reaching the semi-final of the county plate competition and the senior XV also getting to the semi- final of their competition. This is the furthest either team have reached in the County’s history. As a County we seem to produce some very talented players, and this is very much down to the Clubs and Schools in our area being “Development” focused and ensuring that the most talented get the exposure they deserve. We intend as County to continue this theme every season and ensure that as many players as possible have the opportunity to play at their highest potential level. Our purpose as a County is: "Developing Life Long Participation in Rugby" We can only produce this handbook thanks to the very generous and ongoing support of Risk Management, Honda, Dayla, and Run Print Run. We are very grateful to them all. I would like to thank Shelley Pigott for putting this handbook together. This takes a lot of hard work which Shelley does uncomplainingly for the County. We all owe her a debt of gratitude. May I also take this opportunity to encourage you in asking your Club members to consider joining the County as a Vice President. Finally, I thank our outgoing President Chris Smith who has had a hugely positive influence during his year of office. I welcome our new President Gwyn Stone from Marlow RFC and new Senior Vice President Dicky Thomas from Farnham Royal RFC. We are lucky to have such dedicated people. I wish Gwyn our new President, every success and joy in his presidential year and I look forward to visiting Clubs during the coming season.
