Former Club Chairman Coots is returning to a vital role that he held a number of years ago. He had this to say about his return.
"I am delighted to be back to pick up a section that holds a special place in my heart.
Back in 2015 I came up with a crazy idea to start a youth section here at Ashley Down Old Boys RFC. After a year of planning, the section was born in 2016 and we’ve never looked back.
I then went on to chair the senior section for 5 years and my pal and great guy
Kevin Shipway took on the section (also 5 years), both Kev and I stood back and it was time for new blood.
Up stepped Charlotte Williams and she has been running the section for this season and last.
I want to take this opportunity to thank them all for the amazing efforts. But of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing team of volunteers and coaches. You are all the heartbeat of this club and shape our identity and culture.
When I moved to the seniors, it really felt like unfinished business for me.
Well guess what?
Coots is back! ??"
