Original article by Andrew Smith, BC Rugby Communications COMOX, BC – Our latest BC Rugby First XV Volunteer currently resides in the Comox Valley where he spends his time supporting the Kickers mini rugby program, the Youth and Women’s teams and the North Island Tsunami Academy program. Colin Chappell is also the VP for the Vancouver Island Rugby Union’s Youth and Mini programs and has served as the VIRU juniors league coordinator, often a thankless task that requires plenty of hours during the season. “Colin has put in a huge amount of effort getting the fall junior rugby program underway, running a 7-a-side/10-a-side tournament for the first two weeks and then sorting out a number of challenges for initiating the 15-a-side competitions,” said VIRU President Andrew Spray. “He has done a first class job since taking over the position last February.” Chappell first came to Vancouver Island in 1981 on a rugby tour and eventually moved to Nanaimo in 1982 and played with the Hornets until ’85. Once his playing career wrapped up, Chappell became involved as a volunteer and refereed until 1989. During the ’90s Chappell was heavily involved in volunteering for the Olympic Canoeing program as his son was a paddler. After a series of moves for work that took him across the province, Chappell returned to the Island where he has put down roots in Comox and has been volunteering in the local community since 2006. We caught up with our latest XV Volunteer and this is what he had to say… How long have you been involved as a volunteer with rugby? I stopped playing...
