Dear Reader

Grove RFC is a Members' Club and everyone who joins therefore has a stake in helping to make it a success. Anyone who wishes to raise any issue with the Committee is invited to write to the Club Secretary, e.ashford@tiscali.co.uk and the matter will be raised at the following Committee Meeting and a reply sent after the Committee has discussed the matter. Members of our Committee are to be found on the 'Clubinfo - Committee link'.

You will find a Membership Form for the 2007-8 season among the features of this site together with a fixture list and up-to-date results for all of our senior teams.  Membership forms are also available at the Club and we will need these completed forms together with the appropriate subscription from each of you.  There will be subscription envelopes behind the bar, and/or with the mini/junior coaches.  In return you will receive a Membership card and a Club Handbook and the privilege of using the Clubhouse.  Non-members are not permitted to use the bar facilities regularly under the rules of our Club Registration. The information on the membership form is particularly relevant as it will enable us to keep up-to-date information and contact you by post or e-mail about any Club matters. It will help us enormously if you could notify us of any changes in these details.  

We are always seeking new players at all levels so if you know of anyone interested in joining a friendly, welcoming club please point him/her in our direction.  Yes, we have a girls’ section as well. 

Please help us to help you by becoming active in the Club, whether playing, by bringing your children along on a Sunday morning and staying to coach our minis and juniors if you’ve a mind to or in some other capacity.  We hope to keep you in touch through this web site so if you have a contribution to make please make contact.

The Annual General Meeting is fast approaching and we need new blood with fresh ideas if we are to thrive and not just survive. Nomination Forms and Role Descriptions of the Committee positions are now to be found in the Clubhouse together with a copy of our present Constitution.

We look forward to seeing you.

Sincerely

Earl (Duke) Ashford
Hon Secretary
