josa Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Help - my Rugby club in England is hosting a French Rugby club tour from Meaux this weekend and I will need to introduce our club officials to them.However, I can't think of the correct terms in French!!!We have a President - I presume he will be "Président" - easy so far.But what about the Club Chairman - how should he be introduced?And also, the Club Secretary - (the person who is the equvalent of a company secretary, not the person who types up the letters!)Any other linguistic tips also gratefully received.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 and the Vice Chairman ? (smile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josa Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Now that one (Vice Chairman) really needs to be translated correctly - particularly as one of the "Rugby Games" we are plannning is a "cross dressing beauty contest" - some of those rugby players can look wonderful!!!

Vraititi<P>PSG till I die -fluctuat nec mergitur.<P> Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Josa, if you google in 'organigramme de clubs de rugby' you'll have a good idea of the hierarchical structure of a typical French club, there seems to be different versions depending on the size of the club of course but in 99% of cases: 'Chairman': 'Président', 'Vice-chairman' : 'Vice-président' -possibly 'président-adjoint' in some cases 'Secretary': SecrétaireI suppose you might find some smaller clubs where the Chairperson/man/woman might be addressed as 'Monsieur/Madame le or la Responsable' out of habit or convenience.
