Support the Vale of Lune Rugby Club

Who are we?

Vale of Lune RUFC is a community club providing an opportunity for anyone to learn, play and enjoy rugby. Installing the core values of: Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship

A little more

We are a proud club steeped in history, not only in Rugby but as a leading venue that has hosted functions for the last 50 years. So many of the local community retain happy memories of many of the events that have been held at the club. From the famous County Championship final of 1980, to parties, weddings and christenings.

What is happening

The Corona virus pandemic lock down has forced us to close the Clubhouse and grounds and as they will remain closed until told otherwise we now face an uncertain extended period with no income streams. We had plans to introduce better facilities for our family of players, supporters and the local community.

Events, weddings, conferences and function room hire which help to secure financial stability within the club have been cancelled or postponed leaving us with no revenue during these difficult times.

The impact will be felt wider than just our rugby club as we also provide the facilities for many other local clubs and societies who currently have nowhere else to meet.

The way forward

We have launched this Crowdfunding campaign to help us bridge the issues faced as a result of the Corona virus pandemic and to help secure the future of not only all our teams but improve the facilities we offer them and our community.

When we come out of this crisis the local community will need our club more than ever, not only to help provide the essential recreational facilities for our players and supporters but for the many other community based schemes, societies and sports we host. By providing an improved and enhanced environment we can hopefully help improve both physical and mental health and fitness.

How it will work

The campaign has been launched, with a range of rewards and offers available to people who currently donate and want to donate and includes season tickets, pre-match lunches, sponsorship opportunities, merchandise and much more.

With your support today you can help us ensure that we are able to undertake some of the essential work listed below that will allow Vale of Lune RUFC to provide safe and appropriate facilities to support our sporting, recreation and social activities.

What we will do

Maintenance and repair of equipment.

Refurbishment of outdoor spaces to encompass social distancing requirements.

Essential refurbishment of parts of clubhouse (again to include social distancing requirements).

Changing room improvements to help cater for large numbers of Mini Juniors.

Additional safety measures required emanating from the impact of COVID 19 to ensure the safe participation of visitors, supporters and players alike.

This list goes on.

Thank you in advance for your support.
