Waverley Rugby Secures Pavilion for 2012 and Beyond

Waverley Rugby Club is pleased to announce that is has secured its tenure for the use of the new Waverley Pavilion for the 2012 Season and beyond.

This is fantastic news for the Club!

Some highlights of the new Pavilion are:

- Our Own Clubrooms
- Access to pitchside function room
- Dedicated Canteen Space
- Undercover seating for 200+
- Seating on terraced artificial grass
- Potential access to new multipurpose indoor sports centre

What does this mean?

We’ll be able to improve how we operate in 2012, and will no longer be solely reliant on off-site clubrooms. So potentially, when it is bucketing down with rain, we’ll be able to use the clubrooms (and even undercover grandstand, for whiteboard sessions, team planning, whatever!!!!

Oh, and we’ll also have best grand stand (and ground) in Subbies Rugby.

Given we’ve played here since 1988 it is fantastic to see our link with the ground continue into the future.

1st Home Game of 2012

Plans are away to make the first home game of 2012 a celebration of this and invite everyone to come take a tour – keep 14/04/2012 & 21/04/2012 free in your diaries, more details to follow.

Thanks

Special thanks must go to Stuart Allen who literally spent hours putting together a 50 page application together for the tender. If you could all join me in saying a special thankyou to Stu.

Winner of the Qantas Wallabies Jersey

At the weekend, our President, Rob Willoughby, presented the Wallabies Jersey to biggest supporter of the Rugby World Cup – women’s second rower, Merrin Tulloch who stems from Scotland. Well done to Merrin and the girls who got down the Robin Hood for most of the games and helped support the club for the coming season.
