NatWest RugbyForce launched today, Wednesday 23 November 2017
Please find information below on NatWest RugbyForce 2017 which officially launches today. Registration is now open online at: www.EnglandRugby.com/NatWestRugbyForce
This is the fifth year of the nationwide initiative that invites clubs to be part of something special with England Rugby and NatWest. Over 600 clubs used the very successful 2016 programme.
The programme offers a unique and carefully crafted programme for grassroots clubs across the country, including a wealth of advice and support to ensure that clubs can thrive as strong and sustainable businesses away from just the on-pitch action.
This year’s new and improved programme will offer clubs that register by 5 February 2017 the following:
Support packages of £500 awarded to 200 clubs who are selected to attend one of up to 35 NatWest RugbyForce workshops.
Invitation for up to 70 clubs to raise funds via a crowdfunding programme with NatWest RugbyForce contributing up to £750 as a booster towards the project and campaign following a very successful pilot last year.
60 pitch maintenance packages to include a visit from the Twickenham Head Groundsman Keith Kent (or one of his team of pitch advisors) to help devise a pitch maintenance schedule for the weekend.
Support packages of £2,000 to help put Keith’s report into practice over the NatWest RugbyForce weekend.
Support collateral to help promote clubs’ NatWest RugbyForce weekend event – set to take place on 24th and 25th June 2017.
The opportunity to access additional funding later on in the programme.
Clubs that don’t register by the February deadline will still have access to a NatWest RugbyForce support toolkit and are encouraged to participate in the NatWest RugbyForce weekend.
