Playing membership
Anyone can play. Seniors pick a side from four men's teams and the women's XV; children join the age group for their school year. The RFU requires every player from Under 7s up to be registered on its Game Management System each season, and your team contact will help with that on your first visit.
How to joinWhat members get
- Up to 10% off the bar with a membership card
- Half price clubhouse hire for your own event
- Priority tickets for Brodstock and the Big Bonfire, which both sell out
- Six Nations and autumn international ticket applications through the club’s RFU affiliation
Membership fees for 2026/27 are set by the committee and available at the clubhouse.
