On Friday 5th May, Romsey Rugby Club celebrated their first awards presentation evening in their new home up at Ganger Farm. It coincided perfectly with kicking off the Coronation bank holiday weekend and was their inaugural event in their new Club lounge.
Guests enjoyed welcome drinks on the balcony while the sun shone over the rugby pitch and it certainly showed off the facilities at their best. The room had been dressed for the occasion and there was a buzz in the air as everyone looked forward to toasting the end of another season.
Superb catering was laid on by Ady Green Catering who served up a delicious sit-down dinner for over 100 guests. The waiting staff were players from the U15 & U16 teams who were very pleased to support the event from the sidelines. The U15’s even had the largest round of applause for putting the first of many trophies into the new Clubhouse. A raffle and auction was held on the night and raised over £1,400 split between the Club and The Matt Hampson Foundation with many of the prizes being supplied by local companies. The evening finished off with a live band and dancing.
The evening heralded the start of a new era for the Club who are hoping that their Ganger Farm home not only allows the growth of the Club in terms of rugby provision for all but will expand to become a community asset. The stunning Clubhouse, incorporating a bar and kitchen will become a hub for people looking for a first-class event venue.
