ORFC Season Review Meeting

5/5/2022

 
Reminder to all sections that a review meeting will take place at the Club on Sunday 8 May at 2pm to discuss all the lessons learned from the past season.

Topics:
  1. What has been good/enjoyable/positive etc about the last season? The positives
  2. What has not been good/enjoyable/positive etc about the last season? The frustrations
  3. Have we missed anything?
  4. Are there ideas that you know of both in/out Orkney and/or from other clubs you are involved with, that you think may be worth adopting by ORFC?

People can join and stay for as long or as short a period that they like as I know people will have other commitments.

If you cannot get along on the day but want to contribute, please email Ian Carse with anything you’d like to be discussed
