RUGBY uNion FOOTBALL CLUB
W
isbech RUFC was
formed in 1947. The
Club moved to its
present town centre location in the 1960s
when land and a building belonging
to the National Trust Peckover House
Estate became available. The clubhouse
was a converted stable and pitches were
used by a riding club in the summer.
Dedicated club members created a
club room with a bar, kitchen and open
fire. Two changing rooms shared the
traditional communal bath. After long
negotiations with the National Trust
permission was gained to carry out a
demolish and rebuild of the Clubhouse.
Careful management of the Club over
many years meant that a substantial six
figure sum was available for the project.
The completed project, which was
supported by The Lottery and Sports
England, provided 4 changing rooms
with their own shower rooms, a refs’
room, a kitchen and larger club room. The
