Dear Member,

WELCOME TO WARMINSTER RUGBY CLUB

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our small, friendly, but bubbling Rugby Club, whatever

years. Warminster RFC is a developing Core Values Club, big on ‘Enjoyment’. Our aim is that everyone

and anyone who comes through our doors enjoys their experience in whatever capacity they visit, or

This will be our 7th season in our new Clubhouse and it will be a transition period as we lose the huge

financial constraint imposed on us by a Brewery Loan, in January 2016. We also have 2 main, local

sponsors in place, who want long term relationships with the Club and real potential for at least 2

more, plus major fringe benefits deriving from the Redrow Development on the South Western edge

of the town. Once we get to 2016, the Club for the first time on the Folly Lane site, will be

able to start shaping it’s own destiny, both in terms of improving service delivery and achieving

development goals, some of which should come on line quite soon after that.

All in all, this is an exciting, vibrant Club, with a lot to look forward to. What will keep it that way, and

indeed help to push it forward, is an active, committed membership, buoyed by a successful England

team at a home World Cup (Come on England!). The Club will always give back what you,

the members, put in, so please support it as best as you are able. It makes a big difference.

Best wishes to you all and here’s to a successful season for all those in the Amber and Blue jerseys!

Yours in rugby.
