Quote FTrooper="FTrooper"Fred without getting into a slanging match with you ,my question has nothing to do with being connected with any club in the town and by the way you are behind times.
I am speaking with quite a bit of knowledge on this subject and the same question has been asked about other awards dished out by the RFL to the RFL.
The question asked by Mr Fittler was a fair and legitimate one actions speak louder than words and all he was asking for is some concrete evidence.
It should not be to difficult to provide.
It does not detract from the award , Mr Fittler as a volunteer in our sport is surely allowed to ask the question as he is giving his time up coaching kids week in week out. And if he does not know what they do THEN surely that creates a problem within the community does it not ?
And for the record Fred I have been the secretary of a local open age side for the last two and a half years and have had no contact what so ever from The Community Department .'"
Not sure what concrete evidence anyone needs, people on here often post that the community dept are active in their kids schools, even Peawapp started a thread about his grandson involved in a summer camp they ran, I often see schools going round the pitch at LSV, and the RFL must feel they are doing something right.
I don't know who Mr Fittler is but if he is a member of LMR coaching staff, then he can either contact me by pm or John Horan/Dave Wardle at his own club and we will try to update him on some of the activities ongoing between the Community department and the amateur clubs.
When the Amateur Forum was established its aims primarily were to improve the working relationship between the pro and junior amateur clubs, something I notified you of in your other capacity, but as secretary of another club I'm sure if you contacted them/us with any requests or suggestions they would be given due consideration.
