I’d say the most challenging part of this is keeping track of the members of the rugby club as we have many Life members and Honorary Life Members. “I am also 1st XV Club Captain. I would say the most challenging part of the role is keeping people together and organising, having to be the cool head when things sometimes get rough. Being the Club Captain is possibly one of the most rewarding things I have done; to be able to look up and know I have another 14 players stood by me willing 58 Issue 58 to go with any decision I make gives me a sense of pride and togetherness. I have a lot of team members on the pitch that communicate well and I count on these to bring me constructive criticism from the different areas of the park. This makes the role a lot easier. “The mood at the rugby club hasn’t been better, we have recently undergone a new refurbishment to the clubhouse, people are positive towards all that we are doing. We our ambitious at Baildon and are committed to the new development of facilities as well as to expanding our junior sections.” The disappointing start to the first team’s league campaign should not take away from all of the good work being done at Baildon Rugby Club as they continue to play a vital role in their local community. Hopefully they will be able to keep up the good work for many years to come and everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck for the future.
