We are excited to share that three of our dedicated volunteers, Glenn Waltham, Grant Scandling, and Greg Gorrill, have each been presented with a Valued Volunteer Award as part of the RFU and Honda Volunteer Recognition Programme.
The Honda Volunteer awards look to celebrate people that volunteer across rugby clubs who go above and beyond to create positive experiences within their clubs. Glenn, Grant and Greg truly reflect what it means to volunteer at a community rugby club, and we are thrilled to see their efforts acknowledged in this way.
We would like to share some information about what they do for our club:
Glenn Waltham (1XV 4th Official):
Glenn shows up to every single National League home game without fail. He makes sure all the team sheets are printed, the match card is filled out correctly, and completes GMS post game. He also ensures all substitutions throughout the game are managed correctly.
Prior to his time as 4th Official, Glenn used to run the line for the first team!
Grant Scandling (1XV Women’s Head Coach)
Grant has been instrumental in the growth of the Women’s side at Sevenoaks. His commitment and determination played a huge part in the introduction of our Women’s 2XV. He is a trusted coach and offers support and guidance to everyone involved.
Grant also acts as a referee, linesman, and assists Glenn in the 4th Official role at the Men’s 1XV games. His dedication to these roles makes sure junior and senior fixtures proceed smoothly across the club.
In addition to the above Grant helps lead the ‘Rugby Project’ which has raised plenty of funds for The Wooden Spoon Charity.
Greg Gorrill (Communications, PR & Media Manager)
Greg sits on the committee and runs the social media team at the club… even though he lives 60 miles away! Greg has always been a big part of the club. Previous to his current role he used to coach for the U6’s all the way through to the U15’s.
Every week without fail Greg shares valuable club information with members. Whether that be via the weekly newsletter or on our social media, Greg keeps everyone informed of the goings on! It is great to have Greg managing the constant flow of information coming in from 5 senior teams, 20+ junior teams, and all the events and lunches!
Thank You to All Our Volunteers:
While we are celebrating Glenn, Grant and Greg today, we also want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers at our club. We truly appreciate and value everything you do.
