The doors turn again...

Responses to the previous posting on the subject suggests that information on staff changes at RFUW are not making their way down to club level - indeed are not even making their way to the website. So, just in case readers are unaware we now have a new team of WRDMs (Women's Rugby Development Managers) in the southern half of England.

• Clare Cooper is moving from WRDM for the South Region as become the new WRDM for London North and South East Regions - and is therefore replacing James Fisher as our new WRDM. Elsewhere...
• Richard Major is moving from the RFU to become WRDM for the South Region (Dorset, Wilts, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire), and
• England captain Catherine Spencer is joining RFUW in a paid role as WRDM for the South West Region (Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall).

Clare has proved to be very effective in avoiding the Twickenham axe in recent years, so hopefully L&SE will now have a few years of stability. Equally it is in Catherine's best interests not to upset anyone at HQ, so her stay in the South West should last a bit longer than her predecessors. On the other hand it will be interesting to see what Richard makes of the RFUW after his years as with the RFU as a coach in the South region, and Youth Development Officer in Dorset & Wiltshire. Good luck to all of them.
