Dear All

On behalf of the Management Board of the Club I would like to remind you all that copies of the Club's Code of Conduct Policies are available to read and download from the Club website Information/Documents Section.

It is important that we all comply with these policies and I therefore ask that you take a few minutes to read them.

One of the great things that makes our sport stand out from others, especially the round ball game, is the conduct and behaviour of all those involved whether it be coaches, players or spectators and supporters. Our expected standards are high and we rightly must maintain them so!

Unfortunately so far this season we have seen evidence that some people are letting our sport down. The reported verbal abuse of referee Nigel Owens during the recent England v New Zealand game at Twickenham is an example.

Chipstead RFC do not, and will not, accept any such behaviour. We trust that you all agree and will make sure that the name of our Club and the standards to which we aspire are maintained!
