What a difference a month makes. We have gone from grass growing like crazy to it being parched and biscuit coloured. Whilst the rugby pitches and the cricket outfield have only required the occasional cut, Richard has continued working hard on the cricket square providing a hard sound wicket for matches. I am told that the square is one of the best prepared wickets in Warwickshire!

Seniors pre- season training started in the first week of July and continues on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 7:00pm. An extra session is also being held at 9:00 am on Saturday mornings for an hour. If you are a seasoned rugby player, new to the area, want to get fit or interested in taking up the game just come along and join us at any of the above sessions..
The U13s and U14s continue to hold regular Tuesday night training sessions - the U14s starting at 6:30pm; the U13s at 7:00pm, all wrapping up around 8:00pm. New players are welcome to join them.

The Club has had a stairlift to the main staircase since March 2012 which has proved invaluable for less abled people wishing to gain access to the first floor function rooms. The stairlift was replaced with a brand new unit in June thanks to the support from Warwickshire County Council, The Door Store, Cemex and Harbury Parish Council. The first floor function rooms are used by the local community for meetings by clubs, voluntary organisations, public and small business meetings, keep fit classes, fund raising events and private parties (birthdays, celebrations, wakes etc) with the stairlift making the venue a more inclusive and family orientated place for the various functions held at the Clubhouse.

Work has begun on the complete refurbishment of the kitchen courtesy of Leamington builders merchant MKM (My Kind of Merchant). I will be able to report further on this project next month.
Registration for the Mini and Junior sections commence at 10:00am on Sunday 2 September at the Club and will continue, along with training sessions, for the following three weeks.

Harbury Rugby Club embodies all that is good in sport for young people and the MIni and Junior section welcomes players of all levels of ability from U6s to U14s. Our coaches have all the necessary Rugby Football Union qualifications and generally stay with the teams that they coach as they progress through the age ranges. We, of course, comply with the RFU’s stringent requirements on safeguarding and data protection and fully endorse the RFU’s values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship

Our season contains many fixtures played home and away against local clubs and after every game there is always food and drinks provided in the clubhouse. We also run a minis festival, tours and events throughout the year. We also have trips to Wasps games attended by the whole club with coach transport laid on from the club house.
