TEWKESBURY
We have a fantastic club house and pitch/
training area but because of the growth of
our junior setup (The Tigers) which is led by
Adrian Bishop and Pete Healey we need new
changing rooms also our women’s XV has
just celebrated 20 years since forming which
my wife is still heavily involved in and used to
play.
We cover the age groups form under 7’s
through to under 17’s both boys and girls. We
also run a veteran’s XV who have twice won
the International Tournament De Papy’s in
Dieppe, the main victory being in 2008 when
the tournament was dedicated to Bram and
Chris.
The sad point in the clubs history occurred on
the 25th July 2007 when the clubs changing
rooms and cellar flooded and the then club
secretary and his son Bram and Chris Lane
died whilst trying to pump the flood water from
the cellar. Bram was “Mr Tewkesbury RFC” he
did almost everything.
