Silverdale stalwart stepping down

When Sue Turner walked out the doors of Silverdale Rugby Club recently, it was a significant moment.

Sue has been involved with the club for 25 years, and been its manager since 2001. It is a role that she says has been “life changing” but she has reluctantly stepped down and was officially farewelled by members on June 24.

As well as a new part time job with Hopper Developments, Sue plans to spend a lot more time with her family, particularly as she is now a grandmother.

Club chair Hugh Goddard says it’s a huge loss for the club. They are currently still looking for a replacement – “they are big boots to fill,” Hugh says.

However, Sue will remain a loyal member of the club, supporting her sons and friends from the sidelines, as well as attending “the celebrations/commiserations at the after match functions”.
