BIGGAR RFC SPONSORS’ BROCHURE SEASON 2018/2019 ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY President’s Message It is again an honour for me to be writing this year’s sponsorship message as I am writing it as the championship winning president of Biggar rugby club. It was an incredible season of success throughout the club, the Under 16 boys going to the National final at Murrayfield but on the day were narrowly beaten by Stirling County but did win the West Regional cup. Our under 18 girls again achieved a Murrayfield final and again won for a fifth year. The senior season was capped by the First XV winning their league as champions, promoting the club to National 1, for this season 2019/2020. The season could hardly have got any better, it did, Biggar rugby football club were presented with “The Club of the Year Award at the annual SRU awards dinner at the Corn Exchange. What a special finish to a fantastic season! Our club has strengthened its position as a hub in our community for numerous sports clubs. We are delighted to remain hosts to Biggar United and Law AAC at Hartreemill for training and competition. We at Biggar RFC are lucky enough to have 17 squads of both male and female players ranging from the new Biggar Bairns (rugby for 3-5-year olds) to over 35s. Many businesses and individuals from the Biggar area and the extended community support our club with their sponsorship and advertising, without this support we could not offer our children, youth and senior playing squads and other sports clubs the facilities we enjoy. Your contributions allow the club to maintain and improve our facilities, which in turn allows all our squads to flourish and play the game we love. I would like to thank you for your continued support, personally and on behalf of Biggar Rugby Club. The world-renowned firm of Halls of Scotland are our Main Sponsors. It is an honour that this large, locally owned, business has supported us over the past six years and look forward to our continued relationship working for our mutual benefit. We again held our 7s tournament in May and it was a huge success and is becoming a fixture in the spring calendar. The “Big Weekend” as it is known culminated with a concert from Tidelines, who were a huge success. It is certainly a weekend not to miss! Biggar Rugby Club is continuing to grow as a family friendly club with an eye to the future as a centre of youth rugby excellence. We continue to promote our philosophy of “One Club, One Family” Our senior squads will have a serious challenge this year, competing against some of the top sides in Scotland. A mouth-watering season of fixtures await. Please join us, your sponsorship is the lifeblood of our club which will help our club grow and improve. I would again extend my thanks on behalf of Biggar rugby club to all our existing sponsors, and hopefully in this hugely exciting year we can welcome you as a new sponsor to HartreeMill.
