Kings Norton Rugby Football Club

At Kings Norton RFC, our club thrives thanks to the incredible people who give their time, energy, and heart to make rugby happen.

For May, we’d like to give a big thank you to Ken Cartwright, our Volunteer Lead, along with everyone who supported him while promoting our club at the Picnic in the Park on Sunday 24th May:

Richard and Tom Davis (U9s); Kara Cartwright, Scott (U11s) and Ewan (U9s); Adam Darwood and Cody (U10s); Kelly and Joel (U11s); Jo and Noah (U11s); Veronica and Abbie (Girls Team); and Mike and Archie (U14s).

From early morning set-ups to late-night pack-downs, and from coaching support to event coordination, these volunteers have gone above and beyond to keep our club running smoothly and our community connected.

Let’s give a huge round of applause to our May Volunteers of the Month 👏

At Kings Norton RFC, our club thrives because of the incredible people who give their time, energy and heart to make rugby happen.

For May, we are proud to honour Theodore Murphy, Josh Roberts and Neil Heafield as our Volunteers of the Month!

All 3 have put in hours of work behind the scenes to make things happen for the members of the club.

Theodore has been working hard on our social media posts to publicise the club and keep everyone up to date with our team’s results and match reports.

Josh Roberts has been working hard behind the scenes drumming up sponsorship funding and then working with our new kit supplier to get the sponsors on shirts and set up of the online kit shop.

And Neil is nominated for his Rhinos coordinating and excellent PA skills at our current Presidents day match.

From early morning setups to late-night pack-downs, from coaching support to event coordination, these volunteers have gone above and beyond to keep our club running smoothly and our community connected.

Let’s give a huge round of applause to our May Volunteers of the Month!
