The Wairarapa-Bush Rugby Supporters' Club is in jeopardy.
A desperate shortage of office bearers has led to a public meeting being called for next Monday at the Memorial Park clubrooms in Masterton, starting at 6.30pm, and secretary-treasurer Fergus Rutherford warns that the club will go into recess if the current situation remains.
"We don't really have any other option - you can't run a club when you only have one or two people doing all the work," Rutherford said.
"Right now, we don't even have a committee and, unless new blood comes along on Monday and is prepared to help out, we are gone, it's as simple as that."
Rutherford admitted it would be a sad day if the supporters' club - which is in a sound financial state - no longer operated, as it had played a huge part in the growth of Wairarapa-Bush rugby since being established in the early 1980s, with membership sometimes reaching the three-figure mark.
