LONGLEVENS RUGBY CLUB CALLS UPON VOLUNTEERS TO HELP GET THE CLUB READY FOR RUGBY

Longlevens Rugby Club is taking part in NatWest RugbyForce 2020, a nationwide programme developed in partnership with England Rugby which provides an opportunity for rugby clubs to open their doors to their local communities, team members and volunteers to help make improvements to their clubs ahead of the return to rugby, now that clubs have been greenlit by the Department of Digital, Culture, media and Sport (DCMS) to play Ready4Rugby, an adapted non-contact game and O2 Touch.

Postponed from June due to the pandemic, Longlevens Rugby Club will be welcoming volunteers down to the club on Saturday and asking them to pitch in and roll up their sleeves to carry out much needed repairs and upgrades to the club’s facilities.

Chairman Chris Yorke said “The Natwest RugbyForce offers an amazing opportunity to pitch in and help improve the club. There are all sorts of jobs to do regardless of the amount of time, skills or effort you are able to volunteer on the day. We would love to see you on Saturday and we will be rewarding our hard workers with food and drink”

This year, NatWest is offering more help to support the rugby community than ever before, providing an opportunity for a record number of clubs to get involved in the programme, with grants ranging from £500 to £3000 awarded to clubs to help renovate facilities, helping to ensure clubs remain sustainable for longer in these challenging times.

Longlevens Rugby Club will continue to follow Government Coronavirus guidelines and ensure all activities fall within guidelines present at the time of the event to ensure safety of all participants.

If you would like to get involved and support the club, please contact longlevensrugby@gmail.com
