Governance Review - Board Update - 23rd April 2020


An interesting update to Clubs today from the Scottish Rugby Board, covering topics such as the AGM, Covid-19 and the governance task force.



The first part of the announcement stated that Colin Grassie will stand down from his role as Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director at the AGM (scheduled for 15 August 2020).

Additionally, following President Dee Bradburys Task Force update earlier in the week, the Board statement includes:

The Board has also noted and welcomes the update provided by the Scottish Rugby Council Governance Task Force that the Task Force will take time to consult before making final recommendations on structural or governance matters. 

The Board, given its focus on the Coronavirus Crisis, will not be seeking to engage with the Task Force until after the AGM in August and Ian Barr is President. 


This is important work and at a time of significant disruption in the sporting world there is a need to ensure that there is the opportunity for meaningful consultation with all our clubs and stakeholders. 


There must and will be time, in due course, to look at how Scottish Rugby is structured and governed, but right now we must concentrate our collective energies on the pressing matters at hand."
