Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club Sponsorship
We are delighted to confirm that we will be sponsoring the
Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club's Under 14 team for the season 2010 / 2011.
The club is a community rugby club and provides an opportunity for players of
all ages and abilities t take part in the game. The all weather pitch and
recent Clubhouse refurbishment (which contains a gym and extended changing
facilities) have added greatly to the facilities that the club has to offer.
The game of rugby received a well-earned boost when the England team won
the 2003 World Cup. This boost has very much continued and has resulted in
clubs all over the country benefiting from increased membership of players of
all ages.
With this increase in numbers comes a need for community clubs (which are run
almost entirely by volunteers) to raise funds in order to provide the
facilities that are required. This is where we, and others, come in.
Our Martin Pratley, who has negotiated the sponsorship, is, himself, involved
in the administration of rugby in the Eastern Counties being a County Child
Safeguarding Officer for Suffolk and North Essex as well as a referee, coach
and (ageing!) player.
Martin says "the increase in the number of young people taking up rugby
has been phenomenal over the past few years. The game is no longer the
"elitist" sport that it was once perceived as being and young people,
both boys and girls, from all backgrounds, are entering the game. I feel that
we should help in whatever way we can to help promote the efforts of sports
clubs such as Bury RFC so that they may continue to thrive. I would invite
anybody who is interested to go along to the club when junior games are taking
place and witness the enthusiasm and dedication exhibited by the players and
the volunteer coaches and others who help run the game."
