THANK YOU

Your interest in becoming a Vice President of Medway Rugby Club is very warmly welcomed, and we hope that this information pack will help you to make up your mind to join the

Vice Presidents’ Association (VPA)

Whether you are a player coming to the end of a playing career, a long term non-playing member of the club or perhaps new to the club altogether, you can be assured that membership of the VPA will enable you to soak up that unique and magic atmosphere that is special to Medway Rugby Football Club. At the same time you will make a real and valuable contribution to the future of Rugby Union in general and this club in particular.

For a Saturday afternoon with friends/business colleagues/relatives/neighbours/etc., Medway Rugby Club offers a thoroughly down-to-earth (often earthy!) venue where you can enjoy the very best of local rugby whilst bathing in the warmth of the company of like minded fellow members of the VPA and sampling the delights of the club bar and snack counter. Sundays are just as (if not more) busy with the ladies section and the youth and mini sections all playing and socialising most weeks of the season.

The cost of joining is set so that it is sufficient to make it special but at the same time low enough to make it easily affordable for most people. At just £15 or £20a month(some VPs decided to increase their subscription voluntarily) which includes your MRFC club membership, it represents excellent value for your money, being only the equivalent of a round of drinks, or a modest lunch for two at the pub Add to that, the happiness that you will surely derive from your VPA membership throughout the year, and the certain knowledge that you are truly supporting in the most tangible way possible the continued success of the club and the future of rugby in the area. Your membership will entitle you entry into the MRFC draw for Six Nations tickets, a free annual lunch to say thankyou for your support and two other lunches at a cost of just £20 each for a three-course meal plus table wine. On joining you will be given your unique VPA sweater, exclusive tie and lapel badge.

A number of gatherings and events are organised throughout the season, to most of which you are encouraged to bring along personal guests.
