The RFU have published an excellent booklet summarising good practice and highlighting the many award schemes available to clubs and their volunteers.These award schemes are open to all clubs, large and small, and designed to reward all ages, and both groups and individuals. The schemes work and are accessible to clubs like yours. Just ask Welwyn and Letchworth who have both picked up RFU awards this season, with recognition going to individuals (such as Luke Williams and Joe Randall winning the "Young Volunteer Plus" Awards) and to the club as a whole (with both clubs recording successes in the President's XV award scheme, for example).
Obviously not every nomiation will win, but the fact that a volunteer has been nominated invariably gives a boost.
The booklet also shows how clubs have introduced internal methods of recognising the contribution of volunteers - methods that needn't cost very much (or indeed anything at all) but clearly work.
So either download a copy from the website , or apply to RFU for printed copies - its well worth it!
