November, using the time to educate our younger members as
to the reasons for Remembrance and also using current and ex-
players and coaches who were also ex-military to explain more
about this important milestone.
By the end of it, we had around 10,000 hand knitted poppies
from members of the club, supporters in Scotland, USA and
Australia, all hanging proudly on the clubhouse, and we were
delighted to be visited by around 1,000 people following the
11am silence who took time to come into the club and take in
an Under 14 cup game.
This year, through the generosity of a group of local
councillors, we have just launched our Community Marquee,
which will be hired out free of hire costs to local groups for
end of season presentations, festivals, fundraisers etc. We are

“I first went to Consett Rugby Club as a sixteen year old to
train but didn’t ever play for the club; I have always supported
them as my local team but for the last ten years I have become
a regular touchline supporter and around seven years ago I
started taking and supplying them with action, team and player
photography for the website and match day programmes.
Consett RC is a fantastic community club from juniors to
senior level and it’s great to be involved and give back to our
local club. From us all here at George Ledger Photography we
would like to wish everyone involved at Consett Rugby Club all
the very best and all the success for the future.”

“Track Sports Wear have sponsored Consett Rugby
Club for a number of years now; we are the club’s
main kit supplier. We all get up to as many games as
we can when they are playing at home and we are
proud to be associated with such a great community
club.
I was the Director of Rugby at Consett Rugby Club
last year and it was a great achievement as we
got promoted that season. From all of us here at
Track Sports Wear we would like to wish everyone
associated with Consett Rugby Club all the very best
and good luck for the rest of the season.”

delighted to be able to offer this service during the summer
months, to help other community groups in the area and
look forward to welcoming more people to the grounds to
see the facilities we have, and hopefully further increase our
membership.
As we move forward towards our Centenary, our ambitions
are as clear now as they were when the club was formed in
1923 – to promote the furtherance of Rugby Union in Consett
and the surrounding areas. The motto on our Club Crest is
Nimis Non Sufficit Nobis – the sentiment being ‘Everyone is
Welcome’ – something that will always be at the very centre of
the way we run our club.
