💬 Have your say. Get involved. Help shape our club’s future.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter, new family, or player looking to give back, the AGM is a chance to:

Celebrate our wins on and off the field

Hear what’s planned for 2026

Join the conversation about what matters

Explore how you can get involved (big or small!)

We’re looking for new committee members and volunteers across all areas of the club — including events, team support, communications, sponsorships, and more. If you’ve ever thought, “I could help with that”, now’s the time!
Friendly game of touch, bbq and beers straight after the formalities.

POSTPONED: 2026 Club Planning Session - Be Part of Our Future
2026-02-05 19:00 - 21:30
Note: This session has been postponed due to committee capacity.
We know there are so many great ideas and so much passion in our community — from players, coaches and team managers to parents and volunteers. This session is your chance to help shape the direction of the club for 2026.
This isn’t just a brainstorming night.
It’s about turning ideas into action, building shared ownership, and strengthening the systems and support needed to make Eltham Rugby better for everyone.
Who should attend?
Anyone who cares about the club – coaches, managers, parents, players, volunteers, and supporters. Whether you have one idea or ten, or simply want to listen and understand our plans, you are welcome.
What we’ll discuss:

Volunteer recruitment and retention
How do we attract, support and keep the people who keep our club running?
Player recruitment and pathways
What do families want? How do we grow juniors, Get Into Rugby and seniors sustainably?
Club resources & equipment
Do we have enough balls, pads, cones, jerseys? Are we set up for 2026?
Communication & community engagement
What works? What doesn’t? How do we keep families informed?
Making rugby accessible, fun and inclusive
How do we welcome more families and support players of all levels?
Strengthening club culture
What makes us unique? How do we build belonging, pride and connection?

Why this matters
We want more people involved before the season begins, so ideas don’t get lost and the workload doesn’t fall on the same few volunteers.
This night is about building shared responsibility, not just gathering opinions.
We need you. We value you.
If you’ve ever said or thought:
“Someone should…”, “We need…”, “Why don’t we…”, “It would be great if…”
— this is your moment to help make that happen.
