RUGBY CLUB
Haywards Heath Rugby Club’s plans for a new Clubhouse at Whitemans Green
are moving forward apace with detailed technical drawings and implementation
plans under development to turn the rugby club’s dream into reality in 2020.
With planning permission secured last May and a significant contribution via a
facility grant from Mid Sussex District Council confirmed in June, the Club is
determined to raise the additional funds needed to make it happen.
With Fairfax as its Main Club
Sponsor, HHRFC has a commercial
partner willing to commit the
expert skills, resources and financial
support required. The plans also
have the wholehearted support of
Fairfax Building Young Futures
led by Peter Chisholm MBE its
Education Consultant – a foundation
dedicated to promoting blended
learning opportunities for students.
The new Clubhouse will become a
base for the foundation’s classroom-
based activities. This combination
28 Issue 89
provides an invaluable impetus,
working with the Club to take the
project forward.
The Club has secured additional
corporate sponsors this season,
joining a list of other brands and
business which now include Fairfax,
Pets Corner, Mansell McTaggart,
Phoenix, California Raisins, Merlin
PCB Group and The Orchards,
keen to have their names associated
with a growing and ambitious
club, both on and off the pitch.
Heath 1st XV starts the new year
sitting top of London & South East
2 League having started this season
very strongly under Lead Coach
Ross Chisholm and his assistant Jim
Taylor and the Club needs to be able
to offer appropriate changing and
social facilities for current and future
generations of players.
Heath’s youth squad is the biggest
in Sussex with numbers in excess
of 450 young players across ages
Under 6 to Under 16 every weekend,
plus a mixed Under 17/Under 18
