Joint statement from Scottish Rugby Board and Council on Gammell and Murray Review

20 Jan 2020

​The Board and Council of Scottish Rugby would like to thank Sir Bill Gammell and Mr Norman Murray for their Independent Review of the Governance and Business Review of Scottish Rugby.

They have made a number of recommendations on the way forward which can be found HERE.

The Review and Recommendations are as previously noted under Consultation with feedback and questions coming in from member clubs until at least 29 January as the President has stated and noted in ‘Clubs Comms’ previously.

The Board and Council acknowledge the commitment and dedication which has supported the Review and the time spent by everyone who has given their input.

Board and Council are especially grateful to all Clubs and members who have taken the time to digest this significant Review and provide feedback so far.

At this juncture the Board and Council wish to acknowledge that more work and time is needed beyond 29 January to ensure that further consultation is carried out ongoing with Member Clubs.

A key component of this work will be a Joint Session of Board and Council in February, following which a further update will be provided to member clubs on next steps.

The Board and Council once again pass on their grateful thanks to all those who have, and are supporting this important process.
