Special General Meeting 2025

Special General Meeting 2025

Karen Newbury26 Mar - 15:57

Express your thoughts by 4pm tomorrow

Dear members, you will no doubt be aware that there is a Special General Meeting of the RFU tomorrow at 5pm.

I have spoken to many of you over the last few months and you have expressed your opinions. I am aware that some of you would like to do so and haven't yet.

No decision has been made yet on the way in which Hertford will cast our vote.

Please see below the two options,
The meeting will vote on two resolutions. Resolution 1, requested by the Rugby Football Referees Union on behalf of a number of members of the RFU, and Resolution 2, instigated by the RFU Board relating to the ongoing Governance and Representation Review:

1 It is resolved that the members have no confidence in the CEO (Mr Bill Sweeney) and call upon the RFU Board of Directors to terminate his employment at the RFU as soon as practicably possible.

2 Members believe the Governance and Representation Review should be expedited and this should include formal consultation with the wider game. Proposals (including to address feedback from the roadshows) should be shared before the RFU’s AGM and members are to be further consulted on actions later in the year.

There is a lot of information and background on the RFU website and indeed in the press and online. If you would like to express an opinion about which way you would wish the club to vote please let me know tomorrow by 4pm using the email chair@hertfordrfc.co.uk

Many Thanks
Karen
