From Chris Skaife, Executive Chairman, Oxfordshire RFU.
Dear Chairman,
Further to my initial note of introduction on 21 February 2017, I’m delighted to confirm the Volunteer Recognition Programme we are rolling out in Oxfordshire, starting with two events to coincide with the Men’s home fixtures for the County Championships (13th and 20th May 2017).
The events will be held at Henley Rugby Club on 13th of May and Chinnor Rugby Club on the 20th May. To balance the numbers and reduce travelling distance for those attending, we’d be looking at the 9 more northern clubs in Oxfordshire to attend the event at Chinnor and the other 9 to attend the one at Henley; however, if you have a specific request, please do ask and we will try to accommodate your preference. The arrangements for the day will be for the nominated Volunteers to arrive between 12–12.3,0 after which we will be providing a high-quality buffet lunch and free drinks; this will be followed by a short speech and appreciation from Oxfordshire RFU with the presentation of recognition awards and gifts to all our Volunteers. After the lunch, the Men’s County fixtures will kick off and we would be delighted if our Volunteers would like to stay and support our County side. There will be provision for car parking for the Volunteers and as this is to recognise their support, we would expect no expenses on the day for your nominated members.
With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to nominate 4 of your volunteers to attend the event as way of expressing our collective thanks for their continued work and support of your Club, and rugby in Oxfordshire. The volunteers can be anyone you and your Committee believe has supported the Club, be it the barman/clubhouse cleaner, a minis & juniors coach/team manager, kit manager etc - the list goes on as there are so many people that dedicate time to allow the participation of rugby, often behind the scenes and not immediately obvious to the supporters and players.
Attached to the letter is a nomination form - could I ask that you arrange for it to be completed and returned to the E-mail address detailed on the form itself no later than 6th May for the event at Henley, and 13th May for the event at Chinnor. We will then contact your nominated volunteers to provide them with the necessary information for the day, and aim to ensure they have a memorable time.
In the meantime, many thanks for your continued support and please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional information.
Kindest regards,
Chris R Skaife
