ever since. I then became vice youth
chair and was invited onto the board
as communications director and am
currently the Youth Chairman.
“We hope to be challenging for
promotion in both the 1st and 2nd XV
league, with the ladies and girls teams
establishing themselves with regular
fixtures. We are offering the clubhouse
out to other community groups and as a
private hire venue and we have further
development plans for the main changing
room extension further improving
facilities at Queens Park
“Youth Rugby is very important
to us - our Festival of Rugby was to
engage with the local community and
to get more kids playing rugby at our
club - we are proud to have the
reputation as a family
friendly club and this
ethos is still strong
throughout
our
set up - it is a very
proud moment
when we have
players
make
it through the
youth section
and into the
seniors. To help
the
transition
our colts train
on the same night
as the seniors and
where
appropriate
become involved in joint
training sessions so they are
all known to each other before they
are named in any senior squad.
“We are always looking for community
groups to come and use our facilities. We
used to hold one of the largest firework
displays in Torbay for Bonfire Night sadly this has had to cease as the cost of
upholding these large displays became
prohibitive due to the amount of red tap
involved to run such an event. We plan to
hold a Festival of Rugby every season so
that everyone can come and give
rugby a try (pun intended!).
“As a location we
have 6 other rugby
clubs within a 10
mile radius of
us, 2 of these
are National 3
clubs so player
retention is a
big issue. This
will always be
an issue with
players
quite
rightly want to
test themselves at
a higher level.
“Our ambition is
to play in a higher league
and to have all other teams
being competitive in whatever they
are doing - leagues or festivals but still
giving everyone that feel good factor the
club currently has.”
