Glen Innes Rugby league stalwart Pat Lonergan has called a meeting for those in town who want to see the Magpies flying in 2017.
Mr Lonergan has asked for people that are interested in helping the club to reform a senior team for next season’s competition to meet at the Services club on Tuesday July 26 at 7.30 pm.
Lonergan said that reforming a viable committee will be on the agenda.
“We do need people who are interested in helping out for next season and that will be high on the agenda for the meeting,” he said.
“We need everyone in town who has an interest in reforming the Magpies to be at the meeting.
“If we get a viable amount of numbers we will look to elect a committee and fill office bearer positions.”
Mr Lonergan said the Magpies have had a meeting with country rugby league to discuss ongoing issues.
“We have talked about issues such as travel in the group 19 competition,” he said.
“We also canvassed the exorbitant costs relating to insurance and other essential items to run a club.
“The Country Rugby League has said they will visit Glen Innes to try and sort out the issues that the Magpies and a lot of other clubs within the group 19 competition have identified.
“We will be talking about all of these things at the meeting and we hope that we can get the Magpies back and strong for the 2017 season.”
