Message from Chris Parr, Chairman of East Midlands Rugby Union
I am proud to be Chairman of East Midlands Rugby Union, and as a former player, coach, representative coach, and, volunteer understand most aspects of East Midlands Rugby and all of its values.
We have strong grass roots with fabulous Age Grade growth in both Boys and Girls rugby and again in Adult rugby with the retention and growth of the Mens and Womens Rugby. With hosting world cup games in Northampton and the awareness of volunteers with the clubs, the growth of the Girls and Womens game has been outstanding.
