Dear Players,

The 2017 Lindfield Rugby season is upon us and the Committee has been cracking the whip behind the scenes to prepare for another season of running rugby down at Tryon Road.

The season kicks off a little later this year with Round 1 being held on Saturday, 22 April 2017, at Home (Old Soldiers Memorial Oval) vs Beecroft. This is the ideal start to the 2017 season with further announcements to be made by the Committee about the Round 1 fixture shortly.

You will have also shortly see an announcement about the pre-season schedule for 2017 which will include details of pre-season training as well as trial matches which have already been locked in by the Committee.

We’re looking forward to welcoming past and new players down to the Club for pre-season, so make sure you all get down there with your mates to ensure the Club’s preparation for the upcoming season is as good as it’s ever been.

Lindfield Rugby Members, players and supporters,

I take pleasure in announcing that after last night’s AGM, a new committee will take its place running Lindfield Rugby for the ensuing season.

I will take over from Byron as the new President, and must firstly thank Byron and the fellow committee members for all the time they have invested in the club. I am lucky to be starting from a very comfortable stand point.

Helping me with the workload for the year will be as follows;
Jared Hills will be taking the role of Vice President.
Ben Dibden, will step away from legal to become Treasurer &
Toni Francis will round the main committee out as Secretary.

However, we have not finalised all of the roles of the Subcommittee, nor the coaching staff. We are actively hunting people to fill these spots, so if you wish to take over a role, or continue one, please email myself, or Toni, address’s below, and we can work towards a result.

If you have already emailed Josh in regards to this, I will be getting this list to peruse.

I for one cannot wait for the new season to start, and will be quite chuffed when we lift five trophies at the conclusion of next seasons finals.

Regards,
Raef Johnson
