Praise for girls' section at club AGM

I know that from time to time some of you feel that you are a bit marginalised by the wider club - reponses to surveys on Nikki's website (all be it with slightly leading questions) indicate that - but truth is that the club does think quite a lot of you all, and is indeed rather proud about what you have achieved in the past couple of years.

Honest - they think you are great. Really they do. If you don't believe me see the Chairman's Report (that is the chairman of the entire club, not just the junior section): as delivered at the AGM last night

We have also branched out into the world of ladies rugby. In no time the section has developed to an unbelievable standard. County and Regional recognition for young ladies in their debut season. Magnificent. Further to that National and Internation recognition for the club

Okay, not entirely PC on the terminology, but still pretty neat.

The junior/mini report also gave more coverage to you lot than any other section (admittedly this was partly due to a misunderstanding over what was meant by "short report", but it still could have been cut), and the development of girls' rugby remains one of the clubs main published priorities.

So fact is the club thinks you're fantasic. They may find it difficult to express this at times, but - hey - an "inability to communicate and express yourself" is very much a male thing. I get told about it at home on a daily basis so it must be true...
