Players and supporters of local rugby powerhouse Fawley RFC are delighted that work can now get underway for their new Clubhouse. Regular readers will know that planning rst started way back in 2013 when the club was still located at Waterside Sports and Social Club. e club moved to Newlands Park at Gang Warily at the start of the 2014 rugby season. Since moving, the club made a lot of progress in improving the facilities with both pitches fully operational and oodlit. Also on site they have the storage containers and a welfare unit to house all the rugby equipment and supply hot tea with a bacon roll on a Sunday morning. eir junior section has gone from an initial 40 players to nearly 200 children aged 4-16, including their fantastic girl’s side - the Fawley Flames. eir senior side has celebrated recent promotions and has achieved great results in the 2021/22 season and their walking rugby section has grown from strength to strength for all those retired players, or for anyone wanting to give rugby a go but without the contact. From September a challenge but the club’s dedicated band of volunteers are walking, cycling and baking their way to their target of £350,000. All this means that the work can begin to clear the site and it is hoped the new building will be fully operational by early 2023. As always, the clubwelcomes all newplayers, supporters, fundraisers, sponsors and volunteers regardless of experience. ey will be looking for volunteers to clear the site, help in xtures and furnishing and also sta ng the building once complete. Rugby has had a strong presence on the Waterside since the 1920’s and it is with pride that Fawley RFC can celebrate the centenary with somewhere to nally call home. To register your interest in playing, helping or sponsoring the club, please email enquiries@fawleyrfc. co.uk To make a donation please visit: www.justgiving.com/ campaign/Fawleyrcfclubhouse 2022 there will also be a Colts team for boys leaving juniors but yet to make the senior side. In order to continue with the growth and integration in the local community Fawley RFC needed to have a permanent presence on the site. ey put forward a planning application to construct a permanent building on the site which was approved in 18th March 2020. However, when the dreaded COVID-19 hit, building prices sky-rocketed and the club were forced to re-think their proposal. Planning permission was re-submitted earlier this year with a simpler design using an easy to construct modular building which was a much more affordable option. The club is delighted to confirm that this has now been approved and building can now start. Fundraising is constantly How the new clubhouse will look Are you an aspiring writer looking to improve?
