consett Consett C onsett RFC is a terrific example of what can be achieved with a strong set up and the future looks to be very bright both on and off the field. Their Chairman, David Trott recently took the time to tell us more about what is going on at the club. Involvement β€œI started playing rugby at school aged 12 for Chard in Somerset before moving to Sleaford in Lincolnshire, arriving in Consett in 1994; first as a player, then junior coach before becoming senior XV coach in 2011. Since being involved with rugby from such a young age it was natural to join my local clubs as my working commitments moved me and my family around the country. This has brought us instant friends and helps us integrate in new areas.” The Role β€œIt has been a challenge working through the building process of our new extension. Now complete, we are progressing with a strategy to improve our rugby offering to junior members placing us at the heart of the local community for sports development, health and wellbeing.” www.pitchero.com/clubs/consett www.sportip.biz 23
