It may have been difficult to miss recently that Minchinhampton RFC has been trying to complete it’s clubhouse and in order to achieve this we have been participating in a competition, run and awarded by Jewson to win a potential £150,000.

At close of play on Sunday night we had received over 3000 likes in total on the Facebook campaign, with a gap of around 350 more likes than our nearest rival.

As a small rural community club run by and for the people, we are overwhelmed by the support received and will endeavour to deliver a beautiful facility that complements the area, whilst providing outstanding facilities for local people for generations to come.

Now that the closing date for the competition has passed, everyone at the club would like to thank local residents, friends of the club and the many other rugby clubs based near and far for the overwhelming support we have received in order to win the prize money.

We now await the judges final decision on July 4.
