I have been actively involved at Old Pats since moving to Cheltenham in 2004. Initially this was as a sometimes reluctant player having turned out for every team including 1st team, 2nd team, 3rd team, 4th team and Vets, I have also coached, badly, in the juniors all the way from Tag to Colts and really enjoyed supporting a great group of boys develop into successful men starting their careers and heading off to University.

Through all this I have seen the amazing impact the Old Pat’s makes on the local community and it’s members old and new.

Having fulfilled a number of volunteer roles including Director of Rugby, Junior Chairman and now Club Chairman it is a privilege to do my bit to help the club move forward but continue to be recognisable as The Old Pat’s.
