Executive Summary
Swindon is a long established club currently running three senior teams and a growing junior section.
The club leases its ground and is the only rugby club located within the Swindon Council boundary. The club has strong links with the local community and the ground and clubhouse are used to stage other sport’s community events.
The club has achieved the RFU “Seal of Approval for Mini & Youth” and is working towards “Whole Club Seal of Approval by the summer of 2011.
The club will target both the local schools colleges and the local community to increase the senior playing strength from 70 to 100 and junior players from 150 to 250.
The development of 2 additional playing and training areas and the provision of new changing rooms will provide the necessary quality playing areas to support our growth and pave the way for us to start a junior girls section. The intention is to have a girls U14 team in place for 2012.
A marketing plan will be developed both to contribute to player recruitment and to increase sponsorship opportunities to support both senior and junior development.
To support the Whole Club Development Plan the current club management will be reviewed. The objective will be to bring together the junior and senior committees to inspire all club members and its officers to deliver the plan and provide a sustainable management team.
