Whilst success on the rugby field is an important focus of ambition for Chinnor RFC, the Club has also set out its stall as a beacon of light for engagement and participation in sport. The Club is proud to have made a difference to the lives of people, regardless of age, gender or background. In particular, women and girls rugby goes from strength to strength, as do children’s sports camps and mini rugby festivals.
The Club’s community program in partnership with local schools has been very successful and along with our large group of volunteer coaches and administrators, has enabled young players to reach their potential, including gaining representative honours at county level.
Our success in these ventures, coupled with our continued ability to field up to six senior teams (1st XV, Kites & Falcons, Wildboys, Outlaws and Oxen) has put pressure on our clubhouse. The time has come to upgrade the facilities at Kingsey Road during this, our Diamond Anniversary season.
An achievable plan is underway involving the building of viewing balcony along the front of the Players’ Bar and extending the undersized team changing rooms. This will enhance the Chinnor RFC experience for players and supporters alike.
We have been fortunate to have secured section 106 funding (contributions from housing developers) as well as a capital grant from SODC. This leaves a shortfall of £80,000....
To cover this, we have launched a ‘Buy-A-Brick’ fundraising campaign whereby your donation will be recognised in the form of a brick slip with two lines of text that you choose, to be mounted in the clubhouse. CLICK HERE to buy your brick online with a credit or debit card. Alternatively, download the document below, fill it in and hand it in at the bar or to a Committee Member. We encourage individuals, families, teams and businesses to make a donation to this worthwhile project. Our principal sponsor, Rectory Homes, has generously offered to match-fund donations.
