Guest speaker:                                                                                   ADG  Tom Gorman

Tom gave a talk on his passion “ Junior rugby development in the Mid-West. “

Plans are currently in place for Tom Gorman and his Team  to grow the game all year round including the small schools. Tom made the point that this sport was focused in engaging all kids in all age groups and importantly at all skill levels!!

Our ADG spoke of his passion for the area in which he now lives and developing rugby participation in the Midwest has provided him with another focus on how he can repay the hospitality of the Midwest.

A website exists which will give you some of the story of Rugby in the Midwest.

Google: Rugby remaining strong in the Midwest/Rugby W.A.

The website contains a compliment to our ADG Tom, Quote “We must extend our gratitude to Tom Gorman and his team for their work in growing the participation of the sport all year round”!!

On Channel 7 news on the evening after Tom Gorman’s talk to members there was a three minute feature on W.A. junior rugby and how many of these students had now grown into their chosen sport.  Many are now players in League teams and this includes a number of girls…and some are now coaches of the game.

Stabba thanked ADG Tom for his presentation.

After our Breakfast meeting Tom was making a quick dash to Geraldton Grammar.

Another promotional opportunity for Junior Rugby in the Midwest.

Walking the walk!
