Maybe we could have a gagr meet and greet happening on the day. Get a round table with the heads of Subbies and lock in some new changes for the following year…

I’ve given it thought, but already someone from my club on the board.Are you registered and paid up at your club?
Are you on the committee of your club?
After you interested in applying for the board?
Whats a 21st century composition look like?I’ve given it thought, but already someone from my club on the board.
Plus, I think the whole structure of Subbies, including the composition of the Board, needs a rethink and to be more in line with the 21st century nature of the Subbies rugby landscape
I'm also keen to hear this.Whats a 21st century composition look like?
Generally less old white dudes?I'm also keen to hear this.
Maybe Woodywoodsman has some ideas?
Well saidI'll let you all in on a secret: the guys signing up to the board? They're volunteers like pretty much everyone in Subbies.
They're trying to make the best decisions for the game. Go look at the list of office bearers on the website, and think about if you've ever met or spoken with any of them.
I'd say many of the loudest complaints here come from people who aren't even involved in running the game at their club. Such people don't tend to put in much effort at anything
Sorry, it should have read Post-COVID composition of the Board.I'm also keen to hear this.

I understand that everyone on the Board is a volunteer. You'd know, probably better than most, my involvement with the game, both at Subbies and Junior rugby levels.I'll let you all in on a secret: the guys signing up to the board? They're volunteers like pretty much everyone in Subbies.

This has been an issue since the introduction of Colts at the 12:45 timeslot.The biggest feedback from people at Briars, Hawkesbury and Hills this year we faced was around the gap that exists between the middle grades. Colts should be first or last match of the day. There are reasons for it being in the middle, but there are far more to play it at a closed time slot.
What if colts was completely separate - all clubs with colts competed in the same competition irrelevant of what division the club was in. There would probably be 18 teams or something so there would be no home and away rounds you just play each other once, maybe on a Friday night allowing those who usually back up for 1s and 2s to still do soThis has been an issue since the introduction of Colts at the 12:45 timeslot.
When we first started colts, it was at 10:45am, making it easier for the grade back ups. I'd like to see us consider the colts timeslot.
Fully agree Friday nights should be an option, especially during Finals etc where do to the extra time added you could be kicking off at 9am. Also giving clubs more time on a Saturday to be doing other things than Rugby might see more of a buy in.What if colts was completely separate - all clubs with colts competed in the same competition irrelevant of what division the club was in.

Let's look at my club, Epping, as an example - traditionally a mid to strong Division 2 club. We have four grade teams, no colts, no womens. Where do we stand in Subbies land? We get told - you have to have colts or you can't play in the top three divisions. WE can't find any? Oh well, too bad, you have to...... Solution this year worked, thanks to Luke and his team at Hunters Hill. Is it viable? Short term - maybe.... Long term - no.
