UPCOMING CLUBHOUSE EVENTS
|
|
28th January - Alex Ricketts Send off to the NAVY
The Clubhouse will be open to show the Six Nations matches on the big screens. For a full schedule of matches please see the Clubhouse Page.
Clubhouse will be open normal hours for members

The Senior Section field a 1st and
2nd XV Team. Training is held on the on the sports pitches of the
Blandford School (which are accessed via the Milldown entrance) Tuesday and
Thursday evenings with matches on a Saturday. Note that the Main Clubhouse is
located in East Street, in the town centre.
During the summer break the Seniors field a cricket
team and run a number of activities for which details can be found on the
Seniors announcements page.
The club offers a range of membership types to suit everyone. If you are a student then you are entitled to a membership discount - see Moe Mitchell for details.
The Academy of Blandford RFC encompasses
players from 6 years old upwards and is continuing to grow in strength. We
believe that any child should be given the opportunity to enjoy the fun of
playing rugby whilst learning other skills at the same time.
As a family focused club it is not unusual to find
whole families involved in some way or other not necessarily on the pitch. If
you would like to become more involved and take up coaching or just helping out
then please ask. The Academy is run entirely by volunteers and new
'recruits' are always welcome.
Training is on Sunday mornings from 10:00 until 12:00
on the sports pitches. On most Sunday mornings the Tuck Shop is open for hot
drinks.
