We are a very active club which relies heavily on its committee, individual members and other supporters. To honour some of our past players and supporters, the Club has invited a number of them to be Vice Presidents, and a special few Life Vice Presidents. In the early years of the Club, the President had an honorary position and was not expected to take an active role. However, since 1977, the invited Presidents have been former chairmen or long standing committee member who have continued to work hard for the club behind the scenes.
The current President is Andy Brooks (I'm Spartacus!)
Tony Hawkes (Bunter), Roy Hough, Mike Lane, Alan Luxton, Derek Meades, Bas Pendleton, Dave A Thomas, and Tony Winslade (the Don).
Simon Adams, Rob Ambridge, Paul Barnes, Alan Breden, Dave Clover, Phil Cooper, Eamon Enright, Mike Gibson, Dave Goldsmith, Steve Hayes, Graham Haselgrave, Andy Hepworth, Bill Milne, Mark Newing, Paul Norman, Eddie Payne, Alan Pearce, Robin Poke, Nick Prescott, Keith Quarmby, Clive Raymond, Keith Richards, Dave Roles, Ken Sass, Paul Smith, Ryan Swerdlow, Mick Tayler, Kevin Tighe, Ian Tiller, Larry Vince, Dave Ward, Jim Waterman, Mike Whiteside, Karl Woodhouse.
Throughout the season there are a number of designated reunion Saturdays. Typically this is the first Saturday of the month but this pattern can be disrupted by home internationals and other events. The format of the reunions is an optional lunch in a local restaurant followed by standing on the touch line at Wood lane watching the home team followed by a session in the club bar. It's a great opportunity to renew acquaintances with former team mates and get to meet some of the newer players. On occasions the VP lunch is in more exotic venues abroad like the one in Sydney in 2001 just before the third Lions test when fourteen current and past players sat down for a marathon lunch on Darling harbour. Following the great success of the 50th Season reunion with over 150 current/past players attending, we plan to have a smaller scale annual reunion. For more information and forthcoming reunion dates contact Tony Winslade. |
