  The CRFC Supporters’ Club is to be relaunched.  

The idea has the support and backing of Rowland Winter who met with various supporters during recent weeks and learned more about the previous incarnation of the Supporters’ Club (in the Coundon Road days).

As a result he convened a meeting last week with six supporters/members to finalise the realisation of the concept.

The benefits of an official Supporters’ Club are far reaching. It will operate under the slogan “Our City - Our Club”, will be officially recognised by CRFC and will therefore be a channel through which frequent and open communication with supporters will be a priority. RW will lend his support at training sessions (which will be open) and will provide news as to team selection, information, gossip, insights, etc. A sales/merchandise point will be located at the ground to sell membership, merchandise, etc, and one of the benefits of membership will include discounted access to sponsors’ businesses, made available through an “infinity pack”. A supporters’ coach for travel to away games will also be a priority.

It was agreed that the Supporters’ Club will need to appoint officers, as follows:-

Chairman,

Treasurer,

Secretary,

Fund Raiser/Events Coordinator

Publicity/Media Coordinator

Officers (Committee Members) x 2

If you would like to put your name forward (or submit someone else’s name) in respect of any of the above roles please forward an email to Cliff Bennett (cliffbennett13@gmail.com) . Unfortunately the Job Description for each role, which we had hoped, is not available but the details will be discussed at the next meeting.

The first formal meeting of the Supporters’ Club will be at BPA on Thursday 23rd June, when voting for the committee roles will take place and a structure agreed for the way forward. This meeting will be open to all - members and non-members - and it is hoped that as many as possible will make use of the opportunity to be present and to help re-launch the Supporters’ Club.

With the avowed support of RW and official recognition from CRFC, the Supporters’ Club is an exciting opportunity for a vibrant and enthusiastic close liaison with the Coventry rugby family.
