everybody being involved in rugby. Most of our players
have come through the youth section in the last few
years and the transition has been very successful and the
proof is how the guys enjoy playing together and how
they have improved their skills and fitness.
“We are a community club and we supply all the bar
staff and helpers to the local beer and music festival -
‘Fairfest’. We support a few charities, including the
British Legion for the Poppy collection and earlier this
year a group of rugby club members ran a half marathon
in London for the ‘Make a Wish’ charity.
“We face two massive challenges in the coming years:
to play well next season and retain our place in Division
1 and to create a long overdue, permanent clubhouse.
Other challenges include ensuring we increase the
number of coaches in the mini and youth section and
maintaining numbers across the club.”
“I was a part of the original 1st team at
Fairford; George Ellis spoke to people in the
pubs and got a team together for Sunday
mornings. I have been Vice-President for
four years now and have also sponsored
the club for the past couple of years.
I played in the 2nd row between 1997
and 2016, stopping playing at the age of
forty when I owned my own business and
the younger players were starting to run
rings around me! The team is a playing a
very good standard of rugby now and are
a close group on and off the field. They are
a very young, dynamic squad whose speed
and fitness are key to their success while
Danny Briggs is a great leader.
I’d just like to say well done for the
2018/19 season and good luck for
2019/20 – I will be there supporting you.”
