Your Club

Committee

Giles Hilton MBE - Chair

I played my first game for Canterbury Colts in 1975 against Ashford and broke my wrist….Have been involved with the Club since then representing the Club in all 7 senior teams.

The late Neil Weigh got me involved with the bar in 1982 and from there I have held the roles of Social Secretary Mini and Youth Committee rep before Steve Uglow kindly put me up for election as Chairman in 2003. I have managed to stand down twice since then but on both occasions have managed for the mantle to return! Outside of the Club I am Head of Customer Relations at Shepherd Neame and was greatly honoured when I was awarded an MBE for services to Kent rugby in 2021.

Mike Dodd - Treasurer

I played rugby at school for Rochester Maths as a not particularly good fly half or centre. On leaving school I took up other sports but never lost my love for rugby so when I bought my first house in Sandwich in 2007 I started coming along and my love for the club grew from there.

I ran my own accountancy practice for around 30 years and so when I read that the club was looking for a new treasurer in 2018 I jumped at the opportunity to become more involved and have not regretted it. My role requires me to keep an overview of the club’s finances including the preparation of monthly and annual accounts as well as preparing budgets and forecasts.

 

 

Sally Taylor - Secretary & Chair of Membership Committee

My involvement with the club started in 2017 when my two boys joined as Minis. After all those hours waiting and watching come rain or shine, I thought it would be great to be involved in more of a capacity than just than just as a parent or spectator.  My offer to ‘help out’ rapidly (5 mins later) turned into being offered the role of Club Secretary!

Brand new post for me, but it allows me to get involved in the inner workings of the club and as a member of the Executive Committee help shape its future.  Aside from AGM and committee meeting organisation, the role has many other facets, one of which is looking at grants though which the club can benefit.

 

 

Pat Goode - Club President

Having left Wye college in 1978 the obvious club to play for would have been Thanet, but with two friends at Canterbury and an employee of Tony Redsell,I joined, never regretting it. I played for all 6 teams and in my last year was captain of the 3rds. I was team secretary for a time (only land lines and post!!) while still playing. After retiring, I was house and ground chairman followed by chairman of selectors. Younger members of the club may know me as Steve (Goodie)’s dad.

Having followed the club through highs and lows, it is an honour to be asked to be president. I hope I can successfully fill the boots of the many distinguished presidents that have served before. I would like to thank Greg for approaching me to follow him. I see this as a “high” time in the history of this club with many teams playing at such a high standard.

Denys Andrianjafy - Communications Manager

Sometimes called plucky, often foolish, my number 9 shirt could be seen jogging confidently onto the pitch and often stretchered off. There was a joy to running headlong at the opposition knowing you had much bigger support … most of the time. I got involved with CRFC in 2018 through my stepson training with the Mini & Youth. The welcome given to us really talks at what it means to be a part of a rugby family. An opportunity arose to become a member of the Executive Committee and I jumped at the chance to play a more active role, albeit off-field, in such a wonderful and supportive club.

My role is to co-ordinate communications from the club through our various channels, website, social media etc, and to ensure our club voice is communicated appropriately in an inclusive and engaging way. The #OneClub #YourClub theme runs through the narrative of all club communications and is the living heartbeat of CRFC.

Dom Graham - Compliance Officer

A lifelong supporter of CRFC. Enjoyed some very memorable years playing 4ths & 5ths before running off with the Exiles for a short spell. Following the sudden passing of the incumbent, Andrew Burdge, I took on the mantle of Club Treasurer in 2012 only handing over the reins to Mike Dodd in 2019. Hopefully there were still funds in the Club accounts.

I remain a member of the Executive Committee as Compliance Officer.  My role is to ensure that CRFC complies with its external regulatory and legal requirements as well as ensuring internal documents and policies remain up to date. I also assist with elements of the Club communications infrastructure.

You can find me at the majority of home games, sometimes enjoying lunch, always enjoying the rugby and the beer.
