Perhaps we could adopt a club lottery, like the successful one at Cwmgwrach RFC.

We hope you enjoyed the variety of photo's that kept popping up on your social media feed with a request to vote for us to win funding in the Aviva community fund. Thank you if you did vote & shared the link with family, friends & work colleagues. Voting is now closed & Aviva announce their finalists on 28 November.
If we aren't successful, it's onto plan B to raise the remaining funds to complete the refurbishment of our club changing rooms & showers.
Our Club Secretary, Joanna Storey, was a guest recently at Cwmgwrach rugby club in Neath, Port Talbot (which literally translated means "Valley of the Witches") & was impressed with their club lottery. If club members sold lottery tickets, they could keep 30% towards their age group rugby tour for example. Joanna drew the balls out which led to a rollover - of about £6k! Perhaps this is something we could consider to raise funds?
Fundraising will be on the agenda at a future committee meeting & if you have any ideas for a event or would like to get involved with a fundraising initiative, please do speak with a member of the committee - see the contact us page on this website.
