(i.e. recent Colts) representing the senior
sides, with over 50 young lads stepping
up and making their mark on all the
Senior sides. We have also had a slew
of “Dads and Lads” joint appearances
– with an uncanny number of the
debutants scoring tries as they outpaced
their fathers. We are also very fortunate
in Youth that over half of the coaches are
still playing themselves.
“The traditional distinction between
“Saturday Senior” and “Sunday Mini
and Youth” has all but disappeared,
with fantastic integration and cross-
fertilisation being achieved between
all parts of the club. Senior players and
coaches have really bought into assisting
the Mini and Youth sections on Sundays,
and the Saturday Senior pre-match
lunches, and matches, are well-attended
by members from the whole club. The
club is proud to be a community club,
in every sense of the word (we are a
CASC), and 82 schools and colleges
are represented in our Mini and Youth
sections.
“President Mike Wood has been a
member of the club longer than I have
been alive (he seems to be settling in
OK!), and is, literally, the pater familias
of BRFC. His wife Jane, daughter Katie
and daughter-in-law Sally run the event
catering, son Nick is a recent First XV
player and Director of Rugby, and son-
in-law Dave Rendell is a First XV player,
U14 coach and Club Coaching Co-
ordinator. The President’s grandson is
a talented U14, clearly having inherited
his grandmother Jane’s sporting genes.
“Beaconsfield RFC is currently in a
very exciting place thanks to the work
done by so many for so long. However,
we understand that complacency cannot
be allowed to creep in and have an
ongoing programme for continuous

improvement, both on and off the field.
On the field, we are delighted to finally
be able to offer rugby to ladies and girls,
and on a Saturday have the potential to
put out four senior mens teams, which is
really bucking the trend of the last year
or so.
“We are delighted to announce that
a new Head Coach, Tom French, has
been appointed. Tom is an ex Wasps
and England Saxon, who would still be
playing if it not for unfortunate injuries.
We are delighted and very excited to
have Tom coaching at BRFC.
“Off the field, the club has ambitious
plans to update and expand the club
house to both improve the existing
facilities for our existing members and
to make our changing rooms suitable for
the girls and ladies. All in all, BRFC is a
great place to be for the whole family,
both on and off the field. New members
of every level are made to feel very
welcome: come and join us!”
