Yatton Mark Harding is the principal sponsor of Yatton Rugby Club with his business Bath Ales. He recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine about his positive association with the club, saying, “I moved down to the area many years ago and wandered into the rugby club and subsequently into the team as their No.8. That was around 1997 and due to injury I had to curtail my playing career about four years ago. I still frequent the club on a fairly regular basis and it’s great to see such a young squad playing such good rugby. As well as being a sponsor of Yatton I also sponsor Bath Rugby so many of my weekends are spent watching them playing. One of the real strengths of the club is that they are a very family based club and are the hub of their local community, in fact my step-son Nick is a fly-half for the current 1st XV squad. Yatton RFC is a fabulous example of a local and successful rugby club and I would like to wish everyone associated with them continued success!” www.sportip.biz 19
