Bloody weather. ❄️🏉 Can we move to summer rugby union please? Bbq, slip and slides, bouncy castles, bands/singers outside. That would definitely bring the whole community together.

With great thanks to funding from our local Windfarm Benefits Panel and WRU Facilities Grant... followed by hard work from some committee members (and wives) we have completed our club upgrade to our new kids hub and modernised our bar & hall. Fantastic effort 👏👏
