The "new Amanda" takes charge

Our region's new WRDM (Women's Rugby Development Officer) has now started work.

Former policeman James Fisher will have a tough act to follow as he is replacing the legendary Amanda Bate, who left the RFUW at the end of last year. James has been in post since the beginning of the year, and attended his first Hertfordshire clubs meeting on Monday. He is clearly relishing the challenge and is steadily working through Amanda's copious notes with the aim of familarising himself with his area (which includes not only East, but also much of London and the South East too!) as quickly as possible.

James hopes to be at regional and county games, including the games at Old Albanians on 8th February where both of his regions will be playing. 

There doesn't seem to be a picture of him yet, and he bears absolutely no similarity whatsoever with the Beatrix Potter character of (almost) the same name - though, for those of us who have a rotten memory for names, its a great aide memoire!.
