I am both humbled and honoured to be appointed as Chairman of this great, proud, and historic club. I trust I shall be able to serve the club and yourselves to the best of my ability.

I should firstly like to extend a very big thank you to Alan Bernard in his role as Chairman these past four years, and his endeavour and commitment to and for the club is gratefully appreciated by everyone. Alan, we wish you well on your future journey, and hopefully we shall see you back at the club supporting in your usual manner in the days to come.

Now, more than ever in these difficult times for the club, I hope we can count on the continued support and commitment from all players, former players, supporters, and friends. I can vouch myself the pleasure and enjoyment I have got out of getting back in connection with everyone at Dukes Meadows these past few years, and getting involved with the club once more where I thoroughly enjoyed my playing days! It really would be great to see a bumper turn out at the former players lunch on April 9th (details on Facebook and the club Pitchero web site), so please get your availability through to the committee as soon as possible, and lets see some old faces down at Chiswick again.

Our focus now is to see the club vibrant and strong once again, and a respected force in the rugby community. Yor support in this endeavour is both vital, and appreciated.

Regards and best wishes,

David Chaytor.
