Four of the Rugby Football Union's most senior figures will be visiting Oxfordshire this weekend for a fact-finding tour.

Chairman Martyn Thomas, chief executive Francis Baron, community rugby chairman John Owen and community rugby director Andrew Scoular open with a question and answer session at Wallingford RFC on Friday.

The three-day tour coincides with the 75th anniversary of Oxfordshire RFU and also takes in Chinnor and Witney.

Thomas said: "The purpose of the visits is to give us the opportunity of meeting members of the union to talk to them at first hand about the game and the RFU.

"It's important that the dialogue takes place and we want to hear from them how we can improve what we do, and about the difficulties and successes they are experiencing at the grass-roots of the game."

The Q & A event starts at 7pm and is followed by a presentation entitled 'The Way Forward'.

Saturday sees the party watch Chinnor versus Bridgwater & Albion in National 3 South, while on Sunday Witney will be presented with their RFU Seal of Approval Club of the Year award.

The RFU's senior management team have already visited Nottinghamshire, Linconshire & Derbyshire this year and head on to Devon next week.
