Who are we?

We are a group of concerned Official Richmond Cheer Squad members who care a lot about our footy club and the Cheer Squad. The full list of our group organisers will be released in due course. For now we can say that the group includes Ken Woodward and Kurt Jones.

What do we want?

The current situation regarding the operation of the Cheer Squad and the protection of the members best interests is unclear and inadequate. Recently there have been several examples of the Cheer Squad making arbitrary decisions regarding members without due process.
We want to make sure the Cheer Squad operates fairly and transparently.

How will we do it?

At this years Annual General Meeting we will put forward a series of amendments to the Cheer Squad Constitution. The Constitution is the “rule book” by which the Cheer Squad is supposed to be run. It is a list of rules agreed upon by the members of the Cheer Squad themselves and is binding on all members of the Cheer Squad, including the Committee.

Information on our proposed Constitution can be found here.

Notice

Reforming anything established (like we are proposing here) can be divisive. The Richmond Cheer Squad Reform Group wants to make it clear that we want to change the way in which the Cheer Squad is managed, NOT the people managing it. We are not going after Committee members. We want to change systems, not people. All the members of the Committee work extremely hard and we are genuinely grateful for their contribution. Therefore, this group will not tolerate any attacks on any individuals.
