We are pleased to announce the appointment of Joe Slater as Stadium Director and Andy Gafney as the Players Director.

Joe brings a wealth of experience in employment and business and from his long and successful playing career in the amateur ranks. Joe has been with the club for a few weeks, before being formally voted on at the most recent board meeting, and he has already identified numerous maintenance tasks that are required to keep the ground up to minimum standards. He is hoping to organise a volunteer team to get stuck in to the tasks at hand.

Andy returns to the club in an associate director capacity. He has maintained a close working relationship with the playing and coaching staff and has numerous contacts throughout the rugby league community. He will be a massive help in working with the coach and board assembling a competitive team for Championship rugby.

I was just about to put the same statement on the Forum because I am conscious that not everybody reads Face Book. I tend to read both but I started reading the Forum long before there was access to Face Book.

Can I mention that a number of supporters are not aware of the cricket match tomorrow. I cannot attend  because I have something else on but it would be nice to see a decent turnout.
