Like Old Leamingtonians RFC, Wright Hassall has been
supporting the local community in Warwickshire for many years
from its founding days in Leamington nearly 170 years ago.
We are very conscious of our responsibilities as a large, local
employer, not only to our staff but also to the wider community
of which we are very much part. We actively encourage and
support the involvement of our staff in a wide range of voluntary
work across a range of sectors, both in and out of work hours,
and are proud that members of our firm play at and support Old
Leamingtonians RFC.
Being involved in sport is important to us as a firm; Wright Hassall
was one of just 17 solicitors firms and barristers chambers that
provided pro bono legal support to the 2012 London Olympics and
we regularly advise athletes, clubs and sports governing bodies on
legal matters; we also sponsor a number of local sporting events
including the annual Regency Run and MacRide.
We are delighted to
be supporting

Old Leamingtonians RFC is a very strong and active club which is
investing time in getting people into sport at all ages through their
minis, junior, ladies and senior teams. We are proud to be part of
the OLRFC family and to support the club and its members.
Leamington Archery Society rent another large area and
regularly holds major events at the club. The club is also a
designated Caravan and Camping site which attracts much
needed income during the summer months. The facilities are
deemed such that we are regular hosts to county cup matches,
county representative matches and have provided training
facilities to Wasps RFC and Scottish Exiles RFU.
The club has produced several players who have gone on to
national honours or county age group representation and the
Club’s current President Mike Hemming is currently serving
the second of his two year term as President of Warwickshire
RFU.
Our greatest challenges for the future will be related to
the retention of our 16-24 year olds but we will achieve this
through positive experiences related to playing and coaching
at the club and also to grow the game more widely by attracting
players of all abilities, social members and volunteers. We will
also endeavour to enhance the clubhouse and grounds so as
to ensure the club maintains its status as a vibrant social and
rugby playing venue within the community, the county and
beyond.
Despite our first teams relegation the mood within the club
is still good. We realise that we have a young team capable of
more and both the main committee and playing management
are already preparing to re-focus following the difficulties of
this season. We are looking to seek promotion back to Level 7
rugby at the earliest opportunity.
