| Scottish Rugby's AGM Part 2 and SGM - Outcome |
Scottish Rugby's AGM Part 2 and SGM was held last Wednesday 28 September online and was attended by member clubs and societies.
The membership agreed a new governance structure which sees the new Scottish Rugby Union (a company limited by guarantee) take on the responsibility for the oversight of the organisation’s main operating vehicle, Scottish Rugby.
Professor Lorne Crerar CBE, Interim Chair of the new Scottish Rugby Union, pledged to the SGM that “all the promises for a new, well-functioning governance system will absolutely be delivered.”
Professor Crerar also called on the membership to play its part in finding the “very best talent” to serve as “custodians” on the new company’s board.
Additionally at the second part of the organisation’s AGM, members voted unanimously to receive Scottish Rugby’s financial statements for 2021-22. During the period, overall revenue returned to within 5% of pre-pandemic levels at £57.9million, a rise of £5.5million from the previous year. |

| Player Welfare Reminder: Activate Injury Prevention Programme |
Scottish Rugby recommends that all coaches implement the World Rugby Activate injury prevention programme with their team.
Evidence indicates that by implementing the programme over a prolonged period of time can help reduce soft tissue injuries by between 26-40% and 29-60% fewer concussions.

| Scottish Rugby Blueprint - 'Change our Game' roadshows |
Throughout November Scottish Rugby will host a series of roadshows for club and school coaches (all age groups) to launch the new Blueprint ‘Change our Game’ initiative.

Developed by Scottish Rugby's Rugby Development and High Performance departments in conjunction with coaches from the club and school game, the Blueprint’s overriding message is ‘Change our Game’.
Guidance on how to coach players to be more adaptive and skillful, as well as how to create excellent learning environments to nurture talent, is all included within the new Blueprint resource which will be available to everyone who attends one of the roadshows.
