Chiswick FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/RUGBYCLUBMAG Chiswick RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB C hiswick Rugby Club enjoyed a positive 2015-16 campaign and will be looking to build on that in the new season. We recently caught up with Chairman Kelvin Campbell to find out how they are getting along at present. He told us, “I have been with the club for 30 years, having attended Chiswick School, I then joined Chiswick Rugby Club (then called the Old Meadonians, before the club went open in 1996). “The most challenging part of my role is without a doubt fundraising, the club has enjoyed great success over the last five years, winning the Middlesex Cup twice, but more importantly being promoted to London Division One (Level 6) which is the highest we have ever been. As a result improvements have had to be made and travel costs increased. The most rewarding thing for me is the achievements listed above coupled with starting minis and junior rugby in 2011. “The atmosphere is very positive at the moment. There is a real buzz following last year’s successful season which saw the 1’s finish tenth in the new division, the 2’s win their league playoff final and the 3’s just losing in their league Images courtesy of Simon Peter Bartley 66 Issue 65
