Winter Sports - Rugby Union Farmer’s fields transformed
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, South Africa and Zimbabwe, with past scripts now being sold to other clubs to help them raise the “fund raising bar”. It has become something of an institution locally, with many regulars saying it marks the start of their Christmas activities. Lymm Rugby Club is a community- based sports club and continues to rely on funds raised from members, sponsors and the local community. The Lymm Grass Roots Sports Appeal, set up over six years ago, involved a vast array of fundraising activities, including the
pantomime, and eventually enabled the club to buy the land which has been turned into four additional pitches. On a Sunday morning, literally hundreds of children, aged from five to nineteen, can be found at the club, either being coached or playing matches on the new pitches.
“Once purchased, the next thing was to sort out the land. It was really nothing more than a farmer’s field; very poor quality, lots of trees and bushes and on a significant slope, so we had to turn that into pitches, and that is where the RFU became even more involved.”

Ted continues: “We appointed our
agronomist, John Hacker of PSD Agronomy, and he was able to work with the club and members as project manager of the scheme.” “John designed the drainage scheme and then went through the procurement of contractors etc. The other thing the RFU can then do, in terms of accredited contractors, is underpin the club, improve the enthusiasm for the project and give them the expertise. We suggested a number of contractors who had the necessary expertise, with John Greasley Ltd eventually being appointed.
