During May 2021 we are challenging all club members, friends, and family to raise funds to refurbish the club! Cycle, run, walk or swim 500km (125km or 125 of something fun for youth). Set a target for your team, family, or age group.

Story

Beckenham Rugby Club are self sustaining and strive to be the best Community Club.

Work has already been undertaken at BRFC (Car Park extension) but with your help we want to build a purpose built kitchen and players dining room. This will support more revenue-generating functions. The planning permission and technical drawings are complete and approved, and we are starting to negotiate with local builders. If they have the capacity, we can get the build done this summer ready for the 2021-22 season, but we still need to raise £25,000 through this initiative. Sounds a lot, but we do have over 1,000 members!

This May, we are challenging all club members, friends and family to get involved. Cycle, run, walk or swim 500km (125km or 125 of something fun for youth). 


So we (Del, Colin, Jason, Rich, Mark, Chris and me) as members of the U9's coaching team are taking on a series of cycling challenges over the month of May. And we're asking for your sponsorship and donations, as we complete them.


To get us started, our seven challenges are:
1 - 125km each over May
2 - 250km each
3 - 500km each
4 - 500km in total, as a group
5 - 1250km in total
6 - 2500km in total
7 - a coach completes 125km in a single ride

How many do you think we can manage?

About the charity

Beckenham Rugby Football Club

Verified by JustGiving

RCN CASC Registered
Beckenham Rugby Football Club was founded on 19th October, 1894 with 25 players. Almost 127 years later we remain at the very heart of our community. We are a hub for over 1000 players and social members of all ages (from 2 to 102) and we serve the wider Blue and Gold Community with associated clubs (Beckenham Rugby Cyclists etc) partner charities (O2e and CASPA) and events (Beckenham Half Marathon etc). We are self sustaining and strive to be the best Community Club. We have been well served in the past but we can’t ever be complacent so……..how do we make sure our club is here to serve future generations and continue to promote rugby as a sport for ALL? The 125 Build was kicked off to celebrate our 125th Anniversary (October 2019) and provide more revenue to keep the club moving forward independently. We are so lucky to own our own grounds and we should continue to take full advantage. To date, we have extended the car park, providing much needed space for our growing membership. Next we want to build a purpose built kitchen and players dining room, situated between the existing coffee lounge and the bungalow.
