The CRFU are pleased to announce that Ashley Shopland has accepted the role as Hon. Treasurer following due process.
Ashley takes over from Andy Richards who has been in post for 5 years and feels now is the right time to call it a day, the whole County thanks Andy for all his work and for the professional and open way he has managed the role. The CRFU would also like to wish Andy every success back at Bodmin RFC where has taken on treasurer responsibilities.
Andy said ‘I’ve really enjoyed the last 5 years working with the Management Board, and wish Ashley every success. Change is good and I’m sure the clubs and County will enjoy working with him.’
In taking the role Ashley said ‘I’m delighted and honoured to have been appointed Hon. Treasurer on the Management Board of the CRFU. My long-standing passion for the game, together with the experience I’ve gained over many years in business, will hopefully prove of value on the board and for the continued development of rugby in Cornwall.’
On the appointment County Chairman Dave Saunter added ‘ I’m personally very grateful for all the work Andy has done on behalf of the County, we came almost as a package and we’ve really enjoyed the challenge of bringing the County through Covid etc. In Ashley we have found an excellent replacement who I’m sure will rise to the challenge, much as he did with his Cricket and career. I wish him every success and I’m sure all will do their best to make him welcome.
Welcome aboard Ashley.
