CHELMSFORD
President Andy Green told us
how the club looks to maximise
its commercial potential, whilst
also giving us an insight into
the challenges they face and
their hopes for the future.
He said, “We are constantly
seeking further sponsorships/
grants and have a fundraising
committee whose purpose is
solely these goals. Indications
for the forthcoming season
show that income from these
sources will be at an all time
high. On the other hand our
overheads have never been so
high.
A major challenge for us is
to maintain our large mini
and youth sections and to
ensure that as many of these
youngsters move through to
the senior section. In this way,
four plus senior men’s teams
and a ladies team can be
maintained. Should England be
successful in next year’s RWC,
then we would expect an influx
of schoolchildren coming to the
club, as in 2003 we saw a 28%
rise joining the club by way of
Minis/Youth and in 2007, a 17%
rise in the number of Minis/
Youth players.
This would mean the need for
more coaches and as with most
clubs there is always a need
for more volunteers. The age
group of those who actively
support the club, volunteering,
and generally being active
in the club is getting older.
Younger volunteers are
required.
Our ambitions are as follows:
a) Promotion from London
North East Division Two (level
7) to level 6
b) To provide greater and better
coaching for all age groups so
that more teams gain success
and more players improve
their standards and gain
representative honours
c) To prepare for our centennial
celebrations in 2019/20
D) To enhance our place in the
community.”
