1. Summary

2016/7 has been another successful season for the club with on field achievements across the age groups. Our membership totalled approximately 400, up approximately 5% on the previous season. The section sees continued strength in numbers in the Junior age groups and increasing age sizes in the minis with U6 and U7 approaching 30 and U8, U9 approaching 40. This compares to approximately 330 players when the section left Foxbury.

Vote on Headmasters request to change club logo

From: Guy Sanderson
As you are aware, we have changed the logo for the school in order to find a more contemporary version that works well on digital media as well as on traditional print.  As we’ve discussed, I would therefore like to ask all sections of the OE rugby to formally adopt the new brand so that we continue to emphasise the links between the school and sports clubs. As part of this process, separate representation will be made to Hockey and Cricket. The new logo could then be used for the new season and for the new club house.

The vote to support the Headmaster's request was passed unanimously - For the 2017-18 season the logo will remain as current and the new logo will be formally adopted in line with Senior Rugby
