On his plans as Chairman, David said:

“It’s a huge honour to be Chairman of this club. I’m excited to work with everyone to deliver on one simple mission, to make our club the best place to play rugby and be a member of in the southeast.

“I’d like to thank Peter Mattison for his hard work and dedication over his 8 years at the helm as Chairman.

“Warlingham Rugby Club is a special place. There is incredible work going on across the board and I want to thank all the volunteers - players, coaches, parents, supporters and administrators - for all you do. There is so much potential here and I look forward to meeting all of you as we go forward into our next century.

“Please get in touch if you have any ideas for the development of the club. The committee and I are here to listen to all of you and work in the best interests of the membership of the club. “
