Colts side. The current Clubhouse
is no longer fit for purpose and the
whole Club is working together to
make sure that this development
opportunity is not missed.
The Club has already raised over
£350,000 itself and is continuing its
fund raising activities, following
a successful Festival of Rugby at
Whitemans Green in late August
and Race Night in October with
a planned HHRFC City Lunch in
London on 7 February where former
Quins professional Tom Williams
will be discussing the fallout from
the notorious Bloodgate incident.
All rugby supporters not just Club
members are welcome to join this
lunch and more information is
available on the Club website at
www.hhrfc.co.uk or via rugby@
hhrfc.co.uk .
All age groups are involved
in the fund raising activities and
have pledged to raise a minimum
£5,000 each throughout the Under
6 to Under 16, Colts age groups and
senior squad – demonstrating the
commitment to #oneclub seeing this
project through to completion as
soon as possible.
The Club starts 2020 with the
fantastic news that The Adelphi
Group of Companies – a Haywards
Heath based business that supplies
a wide range of packaging
and processing machinery and
equipment to a number of different
industries - has donated £50,000 to
the Clubhouse Project in recognition
of the importance of community
involvement in developments such
as that proposed by the Club’s new
multi-sports pavilion. It is hoped
that other businesses with similar
corporate social responsibility goals
will follow this lead and help make
sure the ambitious but achievable
project plans are implemented this
year.
The CGI images show how
the proposed state of the art, two
storey, multi-sport pavilion with
its massively improved facilities,
viewing balcony and additional
parking will help encourage
increased participation in rugby at
all ages and allow the club to reach
its goal of extending the provision
of rugby to include girls age 12+
and ladies. The new Clubhouse
will benefit not just the local rugby
community but also other sports and
has the potential to become a major
community social hub providing
facilities to a wide range of other
local organisations and creating a
positive legacy for the local area.
To
this
end,
fundraising
continues in earnest – even a Dolly
& Kenny tribute evening is planned
for March! - and with the help and
assistance of the extended rugby
family and the local community, this
fantastic proposed new community
sports facility is getting closer all the
time.
For all your landscaping
& building needs.
