Call for an EGM
Dear Club members,
The committee of HWRFC are calling an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) at the clubhouse 8.00 on Thursday April 5th. The purpose of this EGM is 2 fold, firstly to seek approval from club members to purchase the plot of land next to the main road, just past the tennis club, known to us as the Burgess field; and secondly to seek approval for incorporation of the rugby club.
1. For the Burgess field, our plan is put one full size pitch and a car park for 100 cars and we will show a detailed plan at the EGM. The cost of the land to the club is £130,000, which would at first seem to be an expensive purchase, but as we have spent some time without success, looking for a larger site for the club , the committee feel this purchase is the correct way forward for the club. We have been very kindly loaned the money on a maximum 4 year term by one of our club members (who wishes to remain anonomous) and we must repay him £32,500 minimum per year. Further to the purchase of the land , we have then to find as much again to fund the carpark and the pitch itself. We have been told that there should be grants available for the development of the land, but grants for the purchase of land are scarce. We will have the RFU expert visit us before the meeting so there will be more information coming. This is a huge commitment from the club and we need your support in the form of gift aided donations to repay the loan. Any other ideas for further fund raising would be most welcome. We would like to discuss all these things with you at the EGM. This task cannot be undertaken by a few individuals, so come to the EGM and spread the word amongst any club members you know.
2. Incorporation of Heathfield and Waldron RFC
Rugby is an inherently risky sport and any player or member who suffers a serious injury may claim against his or her club or against the club of the opposing team,or against individuals at such clubs. We as an Unincorporated club are not a legal entity in our own right and therefore any legal claim would be brought against the Committee Members who would be personally liable if the club had insufficient assets to meet the claim. The Committee have considered such risk and are of the opinion that the Club should become a legal entity with the benefit of a limited liability.
Members are required to permit the Committee to pursue a way forward to achieve this object
There is considerably more to this than the 2 paragraphs above, so if you have questions, please e-mail me

Club Dinner Dance 24/06/2006
The annual dinner dance is being held this year on Saturday 24th June 2006 at the Cavendish Hotel, Eastbourne and we hope that you will join us in supporting this event.
Cost per person for the evening is £38.00 and tables will be set for 10, but if you need 12, let me know and we will get this sorted.
The evening will begin at 7.30pm for 8.00pm with dancing until 1.00am when a C&S carriage will arrive to take you home in style (although some of you won’t notice if it was stylish or not!) with the dress code, as in previous years, being black tie.
We have reserved a limited number of rooms at the hotel which can be reserved by contacting the hotel directly on 01323 410222. Please let them know that you are with the HWRFC as we have a discounted price for the rooms.
Paid up Club members and VP’s should have received a letter with all the details by now but if you haven’t and you need a menu or more details please contact Amanda Collins or Ron Powell on 01435 869006 (Mon-Fri daytime).
All completed forms for the meal/wine/coach MUST be returned by Friday 9th June as we have to advise the hotel of our requirements by the 10th.

Jerry Hodgson
Jerry is one of the Club’s most loyal VP’s having supported H&W for over ten years. He has supported all VP functions and usually attends matches at Cross in Hand. A couple of years ago he was literally struck down with a debilitating illness which threatened his ability to walk and was for a time life threatening.
Mercifully with his customary courage and determination he recovered and then applied to take part in a BBC series about people who have overcome serious illness and are training for this year’s London Marathon.
‘Run for Glory’ on BBC One
Episode 1: Thursday 2 March, 7pm
Episode 2: Thursday 9 March, 7pm
Episode 3: Thursday 16 March, 7pm
Episode 4: Thursday 23 March, 7pm
Episode 5: Thursday 30 March, 7pm
Episode 6: Thursday 6 April, 7pm
Episode 7: Thursday 13 April, 7pm
Episode 8: Thursday 20 April, 7pm
Episode 9: Monday 24 April, 7pm tbc (one hour special to include the Marathon)
Find out more by watching the series and if you wish to sponsor Jerry please email me on mikedestc@aol.com
Jerry told me last weekend that one of the best sponsorship offer he has received so far is from our cheerful Hon Club Padre who has offered a free funeral should the marathon prove too much for him!!! Knowing Jerry he will come through his challenge with flying colours.

Vice President's at Heathfield & Waldron RFC
Heathfield & Waldron RFC is sustained and supported by different groups of people, each group playing a key role in the health and success of our club. In addition to players and coaches of all ages and administrators and volunteers there is a group of people who contribute in many ways. The people in this group are our Vice-Presidents. VPs are elected, they do not pay subscriptions but they do give the club funding by donation and it is fair to say that our VPs are among the most generous and supportive in Sussex. The President of the club looks after the VPs and with assistance from two stalwarts of the club, Michael Baird and Geoff Green, organises a range of activities for them usually involving some of the bacchanalian joys of life and always geared to helping the club and selected charities.
Becoming a VP is not an automatic process. They have to be proposed, seconded and approved by the Club Committee. The Qualifications are as follows. A VP must show a love of the club and for the game of Rugby must make an annual donation and must agree to the traditions and ethos of the club and of our VP group. Our VPs are a delightfully eclectic lot. Many are people who have retired from the game but wish to put something back, some are coaches from within the club, some are sponsors and some are people who are new to the game but have formed a strong affection to our club. VPs are proud to wear their Tie for pre lunch matches and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Club Blazer.
Our VPs are cheerful and dedicated to H&W RFC. I look forward to giving you more information ant to keeping you up to date with their news.
