Veteran Vandals prop Wayne Mason and former head coach Damian Porter were both elected Vice Presidents at the club's Annual General Meeting last month.

Mason, a regular in the first team for the past 18 years and a mentor to aspiring front row, was famously part of the team that secured the London Division South West Four title in 2009 and lifted the Surrey Cup 10 years later.

The 52-year-old received his 100th cap retrospectively last season and made a significant contribution towards of the first team's successes over the past two decades - including the recent Counties One Surrey/Sussex promotion campaign.

Ex-Staines RFC and Cobham player Porter, a RFU Level Three coach, stepped down in the summer having first joined Vandals in 2019 and set up the coaching structure that has taken the Vandals to their highest level in the RFU league pyramid.

With a background in player development, he created a clear pathway for the club's colts to transition into senior rugby - a legacy which now sees a number of former juniors making a name for themselves in the first team.

President Kevin Keaney, who has agreed to continue in his role for another 12 months, proposed the pair, adding: "Beyond his achievements with the first team, Damian superbly led the senior section through the COVID pandemic.

"He has championed good mental health and wellbeing of our young players and invested significant time into our junior section to ensure our coaches pass on the club's rugby values, creating an environment where all our junior players have fun playing rugby."

He added: "Wayne will be a rare example of a playing Vice President as he still turns out for the first and second teams.

"He has mentored our next generation of young props and always sets a great example. A true club man and generous club donor."

Ex-player and former club secretary, Simon Rabbett, was confirmed as Weybridge Vandals club chair replacing Adam Nettleship, who steps down after a hugely successful spell at the helm.
