About JRFC Ltd

Jersey Rugby Football Club Limited

In 1961, when an opportunity arose for the Jersey Rugby Club to acquire fields suitable for rugby pitches and where a clubhouse could be built, the Jersey Rugby Football Club Limited was created in order to purchase and own that land and the clubhouse which was subsequently built upon it.

The original clubhouse, situated on what is now the Jersey Bowl car park was, by 1990, in a very serious state of repair with the Club having little or no finances for renovation. Officers of the Limited Company conducted a number of business negotiations which involved ceding the strip of land on which now exists the Jersey Bowl in exchange, very beneficially, for the construction of the present clubhouse.

There are seven Directors/Shareholders of the Company and presently they are:-

Mike Engelman – Chairman
Robin Nott – Secretary/Treasurer
John Gready
Keith Goddard
David Liddiard
Adrian Willis
Advocate Julian Gollop

These Directors have always been members of the Club who have served in various capacities over the years. They are effectively acting as Trustees and their position is to make sure that there is a Club and grounds in existence into the future for all to enjoy the game of rugby football from the youngsters in the Academy through to the Senior Representative Squad.

In addition to those listed elected Directors/Shareholders, the President and Chairman of the Club itself are ex officio Directors during the term of their office which directly maintains the link between the two bodies and allows discussion on matters of mutual interest or concern.
