Chairman’s Hello – 1st April 2020
Greetings from your Virtual Chairman. Today is the day that I should have taken over the gong from Andrew, but we all know that the Handover ceremony will have to wait for a while. However, I am looking forward to my year and will get started as soon as we can.

Nigel Foley R.I.P.
We have been copied in on this message sent by Lichfield Rugby Club.
Sad news I’m afraid. I heard this morning that Nigel has passed away. Unsure of accurate information at present but I know he suffered a heart attack and he could not be saved.
Nigel was Secretary of the Club for many years and was a great supporter of the club. He had a couple of health issues over the last couple of years but when able to he still came down to support, put the league results up and stopped for a beer on a Thursday night. He will be sadly missed. I will pass on funeral information when known but in the present climate there will be problems with this. Somehow we will celebrate his contributions to Lichfield Rugby Club but at present we are thinking of his family at this sad time.
Stay well and stay safe in these troubling times.
Yours sadly, Barry Broad – President @ LRUFC.
Chairman’s Update – Sunday 29th March 2020
Good morning gentlemen, and I hope you are all keeping well.
Just a quick update regarding the plans for what should have been our AGM: after lengthy discussions between all council members, we think it best that David Dimeloe takes over as Chairman elect on Wednesday, and his proposed council members will take over their new roles at the same time. This parallels what National are doing as Peter Good takes over as National President. We also aim to circulate current officers end-of-year reports to all members. We will have a “back to school” AGM on the first formal meeting that we can have, whenever that will be, and at that point I will officially hand over the Chairman’s Jewel to David, we can make any other proposals and so on. We will have wine on the table and celebrate our return to reality.
