THE NEW PATIO IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!
After a few weeks of hard work, building dust and a fair bit of disruption, we’re delighted to say that our brand new clubhouse patio is now officially open!
On Saturday (26th September) we officially opened the new space with a little ribbon-cutting ceremony and who better to do the honours than Stan Bailey from S Bailey Landscapes!
Stan had the important job of cutting the ribbon and declaring the patio officially open… although he also had the rather dubious honour of christening the new patio by being the first person to spill a drink on it!
The old patio area has now been transformed into a much improved space that is safer, more accessible, tidier and, most importantly, more welcoming for everyone who uses our clubhouse.
It’s a significant investment for the club, but one that we believe will make a real difference to our members, players, families, volunteers and visitors for years to come.
The patio has been made possible through an RFU match funding grant, alongside money raised through the events we’ve held throughout the year.
Our 24hr Ruggerthon was a brilliant example of what Kingswood RFC can achieve when everyone pulls together. We set ourselves a £10,000 fundraising target and, thanks to the incredible efforts of everyone involved, we raised the full £10,000.
The Family Funday & C***r Festival also made a fantastic contribution, with hundreds of people coming down to enjoy the day and support the club.
This is exactly what we mean when we talk about putting our fundraising back into Kingswood RFC. The money raised through these events allows us to continue investing in our facilities and improving the club for everyone.
A special thank you must go to Stan Bailey, Scott Bailey and Mark McGarrigle from S Bailey Landscapes.
They’ve put in a huge amount of hard work over the last few weeks and the quality of their workmanship has been absolutely top class.
They’ve grafted away in all sorts of weather and have done a fantastic job transforming the area. We’re incredibly pleased with the finished result.
Thank you to everyone who has been patient while the work has been taking place. We know having a building site outside the clubhouse wasn’t ideal, but hopefully you’ll agree that the finished result has been well worth it.
