Geoff Bloom is the Deputy Mini Chairman of Ealing Trailfinders RFC. He became involved with the club 5 years ago supporting his son taking his first steps in rugby. He crossed the touchline as a helper, then coach, then emergency first responder and referee. Now it's a real family affair as his daughter also plays and his wife also coaches and supports the club in other ways.

Geoff played a supporting role in the club's achievement of Clubmark, attending meeting and assisting with the setting up of a girls rugby section at the club.

He is now actively involved in coaching two age groups and refereeing across several age groups, as well as being part of the mini section leadership team.

The club has benefited by being able to certify the club as a reputable organisation that follows minimum standards, using these standard to promote the club locally.

Commenting on the impact of Clubmark, Geoff said, "We are able to use Clubmark in our marketing communications and to promote a healthy and sporting lifestyle to local schoolchildren and their families. We promote a volunteer culture and the standards help us to provide leadership, guidance and policy so those volunteers are encouraged to adopt best practice in coaching, player welfare and development."
