MIDLANDS HURRICANES owner-chairman Mike Lomas says he is “delighted” to have made Ron Banks vice-chairman.
Banks has long been an active member of the Rugby League community in the Midlands, having become involved with the Hurricanes’ forerunners Coventry Bears after seeing an advert in the Coventry Telegraph newspaper.
Lomas said: “I am delighted to appoint Ron as vice-chairman. I can’t think of anybody who would deserve it more.
“For those who don’t know Ron, he has been involved in Rugby League in the Midlands for many, many years.
“In more recent times, fans will have seen Ron opposite the main stand in the dug-out as our official timekeeper.
“He is a long-standing and committed member of the club and is a talisman of the Midlands Rugby League community who has helped grow the club over the time I have been involved. I have every confidence he will continue to do this.”
