  • Club History
    Club History Inception: the 1950s and 1960s In 1956 a group of 15-year-old school leavers from Players School and Cottesmore School had nowhere to play so they formed their own club. Nottingham Moderns RFC was formed. The early matches were played on rented pitches around the city. With the help of old school masters and the youth service, steady progress was made. However, financing the new club was a problem. On most occasions the players would make their way to away matches by public transport, resulting in all day adventures to various parts of the East Midlands. A good relationship was formed with the local colleges and sports teachers, and with the Welsh Exiles. This led to a period of rapid growth that resulted in sustained fixtures with more established local sides and also games against the 2nd XV teams from the Midlands senior teams.[3] Settling down: The 1970s The year 1975 was momentous in the history of the club. The club finally secured a home at Wilford where they remain today. In the same year they became the first club from Nottinghamshire to win the Three Counties Cup (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Lincolnshire). The 1st XV also reached the semi-final of the Midlands Clubs Championship. The most successful season in the club's history was probably 1974–75, with the 1st XV, 2nd XV, and 3rd XV losing just three games each all season.The 1st XV and 2nd XV also won the respective County Cup competitions. All of this was accomplished as a nomadic club, with no fixed home, playing on rented parks pitches, and drinking in numerous local public houses to entertain their opposition.

    Rushcliffe Playing Pitch Strategy Review and Action Plan Update 2019 1 Contents Page Introduction 3 Methodology 4 How the Playing Pitch Strategy has been applied and the lessons learnt? 5 Are there any new or emerging issues and opportunities? 5 Housing Growth Scenarios – Update 7 Action Plans 10 Bingham Analysis Area 12 Cotgrave and Radcliffe Analysis Area 17 East Leake Analysis Area 20 Keyworth Analysis Area 24 West Bridgford and Ruddington Analysis Area 28 2 Introduction This document follows a review of the Rushcliffe Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) which was first published in October 2017. The strategy identifies the need for a review of the document within 3 years of it being published, this is because: ‘The nature of the supply and in particular the demand for playing pitches will likely to have changed over the three years. This should also help to ensure that the original supply and demand information is no more than two years old without being reviewed’ (Rushcliffe Playing Pitch Strategy – Strategy and Action Plan, October 2017, Page 92) The strategy also identifies the review should contain the following elements: How the delivery of the recommendations and action plan has progressed and any changes required to the priority afforded to each action (e.g. the priority of some may increase following the delivery of others) How the PPS has been applied and the lessons learnt Any changes to particularly important sites and/or clubs in the area (e.g. the most used or high quality sites for a particular sport) and other supply and demand information, what this may mean for the overall assessment work and the key findings and issues Any development of a specific sport or particular format of a sport Any new or emerging issues and opportunities This review has been necessary to ensure the delivery of the strategy’s recommendations and actions has taken place, and to identify any new developments that may change key priorities.

  • Ruckley Puts Kids First Posts in the Parks Mark Two Years
    TOUCHLINE The Official Newspaper of The RFU October 2013 Issue 161 POSTS IN THE PARKS MARK TWO YEARS TO RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015 PAULA ROWE To the bemusement of shoppers and office workers in Exeter City Centre and snowboarders and skiers at Milton Keynes’ SnoZone, rugby posts recently appeared across the country launching the RFU’s Posts in the Parks initiative. Installing specially designed rugby posts in parks and open spaces in the ten RWC2015 English host cities provided visible symbols of the RFU’s commitment to broadening the appeal of rugby and to reaching out to new audiences and new areas. From Newcastle to Gloucester and Birmingham to London, the posts will raise people’s awareness of rugby, get the nation behind the tournament and help them feel a real connection to the sport in the build up to RWC2015. The aim is to inspire everyone to be active, have fun and get involved, to give in to the urge to try a Jonny Wilkinson drop goal or their own version of the Ash Splash. Roundhay Park, a 700-acre park perhaps more famous for staging concerts by the likes of the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen, was a location chosen by Leeds City Council to remind passers by that the World Cup is not only arriving on these shores in two years’ time, but that it is arriving in Leeds. This story has been repeated across the country as the countdown to the tournament begins. Posts in the Parks is only one step on the journey to get people thinking about rugby and to make the most of the opportunities that hosting the Rugby World Cup brings.
