Newbury Blues
sides entering all sorts of triangular
competitions and festivals.
“Our Minis act as mascots on
home match days for the 1st XV
Newbury Blues and they love the
occasions as do the Blues players.
This is becoming quite a tradition
within the club. Our Junior section
is also very strong with all groups
having numerous qualified coaches.
“We are very much a community
club. We regularly go out to all the
schools and communities with many
of our coaches helping out locally
as well as encouraging use of our
facilities for all sorts of events. We
host local competitions for schools
and clubs such as cubs and scouts as
well as local girls association football
practices when they were rejected
by local soccer clubs. We also
host all sorts of meetings, courses,
conferences and weddings as well as
parties.
“Over the coming years we need
to develop our volunteer group as
you can never have too many people
helping out. Of course, there is the
Rugby challenge where we need
to maintain and indeed further
improve our standards. We must
never be satisfied.
“We have so many dreams
for the club. If Newbury RFC can
continue with all the good it is doing
at the moment and increase funding,
sponsorship and commercial success
to allow us to develop the rugby side
of the club further and with the huge
enjoyment and spirit we have at the
moment, we will be moving in the
right direction. We have a dedicated
committee which is growing from
strength to strength and a coaching
set up which is the envy of many but
we must keep it going. I believe the
future is bright.”
