BRFC Chairman pays tribute to Steve's tremendous job for BRFC over four decades.

It saddens me to announce that Steve Ward (pictured centre above) has decided to stand down from his role as the club’s Commercial Chairman. After 47years at the club, starting in the Colts before representing the 1st XV and also becoming a key member of the Executive for 40 of those years, he has decided that the time is now right for him to reduce his formal involvement at the club - he has kindly agreed at least in the short term to continue organising international tickets on behalf of the club.

Having spent many years as the Club Treasurer / Chairman of Finance, Steve has become synonymous with Bracknell RFC where he could be regularly found managing sponsorship and the commercial operations of the Club as well as arranging many varied social and fund-raising functions on behalf of the club. He has single-handedly generated over £1 million for the club which has allowed significant investment in the club’s facilities and resources.

I cannot properly express the level of my gratitude for the staggering amount of time and personal effort that Steve has expended on the club’s behalf from which we have all benefited and so I will simply say ‘thank you – your will be sorely missed by all your many friends at the club’.

We are now striving to ensure that all of Steve’s magnificent work is maintained and developed; if you are willing and able to contribute to the running of the club in any way then do please contact either Gill Exon (Hon Secretary) or myself or any other member of the Executive Committee.

Clive Field
Chairman, Bracknell RFC
