Bournemouth Rugby

It takes a club to build a season.

Before the rugby starts, we need your help getting Chapel Gate ready.

If you've got a couple of hours to spare, we'd love to see you there.

Whether you're a player, parent, grandparent, volunteer, member or supporter, everyone is welcome. Bring the family, catch up with friends, meet some new faces, and help give our club a fresh start ahead of the new season.

Many hands really do make light work, and it's always a good laugh when we all muck in together.
