Dear Members, 
we hope this message finds you and your families in good health.
The club remains closed under Government Covid-19 restrictions. 
However, behind the scenes, your committee continue to work to ensure club facilities and administration are ready for a return to rugby activity, as soon as this is permitted and safe. 
The club traditionally holds its Annual General Meeting in early June.  Clearly, it will not be possible for us to gather this year.  As a solution, eligible members recieved an email last Sunday 10th May with details of proposals and an opportunity to vote. The deadline for response is 31st May and an annoucement will be made thereafter. 
In absence of a meeting, a complete collection of end of season 2019-20 team reports are now published on the link.
In the months ahead we will need the help of many volunteers to get us up and running again, but right now all we need is a swift response to the email. Thanks for your support. 
Stay Safe.
