After an astonishing 12 years as Editor of Stand Up,
Ken Arthur is standing down!
Just want to publicly thank Ken for his contribution over the years.
Now that you've given up writing news sheets, can we expect to see more words on bed sheets?

Not going to enter into a debate here about the editorial merits nor the rights and wrongs of the URSC.I think you will all agree that Ken has done a wonderful job over this time in producing a really well put together URSC magazine 3 or 4 times a season.
Whilst for Ken it has, for the most part, been a labour of love – it can certainly be hard work, but it is interesting, there are plenty of opportunities to meet and interview Ulster Rugby players and staff and get a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes at the Kingspan, and of course the latest edition of Stand Up provides a tangible output for those efforts.
We now wish to make arrangements to find Ken’s successor. Accordingly the URSC Committee would like to know if there is anyone known to the membership who would be interested in taking on this role anytime between now and the start of next season. Journalistic skills would be helpful, but not essential. Enthusiasm, a love of rugby … and hard work are required.
Ken will happily work with the new Editor initially to show them the ropes.
If you are interested in taking on this role, or know anyone who might be, please email standup@ursc.co.uk putting “EDITOR” in the subject line, or speak to any of the Committee.
