Eastern Counties Rugby Union

Eastern Counties has a Representative on the RFU Council, elected by the member clubs in EC for a three year term of office. At present this is Roger Pierson. He has indicated his willingness to stand again, but anyone else can be nominated for the post also.

In the past we have had to elect our representative every year, but recent changes made by Twickenham mean that such an election will now take place only once every three years, so this year’s election will be the last until 2021.

Attached is a nomination form; if your club wishes to nominate anyone for this post then that form should be printed off, properly completed and sent to the ECRU Office at the address shown, to reach it by 1 March. Late, incomplete or incorrectly filled-in forms cannot be accepted

If more than one nomination is received, then a secret, postal ballot will take place in March, and I will be in touch with you again in that event.

Candidates are invited to send, with their nomination papers, a statement of not more than 300 words in support of their candidacy; these will be circulated with the ballot papers and we hope there would then be no need for any further canvassing.

Deadline for nominations is the 1st March 2018
