The last four years has seen Sponsorship revenue steadily grow from virtually zero to many thousands of pounds which has been able to provide not only new kit for players but vital improvements to buildings, scoreboards, televisions, safety, signage, posters, man of the match and even match day refreshments!

The board of directors alongside any progressive rugby club realise it’s a key revenue stream and is vital in being able to provide 21st century facilities for our community.

The new business membership has the potential to provide substantial regular income for the club while providing a comfortable and professional area for people to enjoy a Saturday afternoon.

John Bruckel, CLS-QS Ltd contractors and quantity surveyors and Jon Close lawyer at keystone law have generously sponsored the first phase of the refurbishment of the old press box. This provides an excellent Hospitality box for the start of the 2016-17season, with brilliant views of the pitch, superb ambience and bar area. Initially a decking area will be built to the rear of the box with tables and chairs, which also provides super views of a game. This hospitality box is something very few clubs at our or many others levels above can provide.

Business membership includes full membership of Stroud Rugby, access to the hospitality box with a guest for home matches. The box will hold various events including wine, beer tasting sessions, guest speakers and an annual lunch.

Membership costs £250.00, membership is however restricted and current club members are invited to join first. Please contact the membership secretary for details.
