Camberley Rugby Club

What Camberley Rugby Club does

Camberley Rugby Football Club (also traded as CRFC and Camberley RFC) is an amateur, non-profit community rugby club based at Watchetts Recreational Ground on Park Road, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 2SR. It fields 23 squads spanning every age band from Kinders (ages 4–6) through Mini (U7–U11), Youth (U12–U15), Junior Academy (U16) and Senior Academy (U17–U18) up to Senior Men (1st XV, 2nd XV, U22 XV), Senior Women and Women's Vets, plus a Touch Rugby section for 14+. The club is affiliated with England Rugby London & SE Division and Surrey Rugby, holds Clubmark and RFU Rugby First accreditations, and operates documented safeguarding and GDPR policies.

Its product surface is membership-led: annual subscriptions priced at £108–£112.50 per player (payable in nine monthly instalments of £12–£12.50), with half-price additional-player memberships for Mini, Youth, Junior and Senior Academy categories. Secondary revenue streams include a SumUp Store kit shop (Mizuno-branded shirts, shorts, socks, polos, jackets, hoodies), Watchetts Clubhouse venue hire via SumUp Bookings, and a 200 Club monthly prize-draw lottery that doubles as fundraising. Commercial support comes from sponsors NATTA (Ladies Shirt), Salesian College (Mini & Youth), Eduthing (Academy) and Mizuno (kit), alongside the community-funded Surrey Heath Join In scheme that subsidises youth access.

The operating model is community- and event-driven. Membership acquisition runs through free trial sessions, festival participation (Surrey U7s, Esher, Farnborough, Dorking, Wimbledon, Weybridge Vandals), and joint training sessions with Reading, Chobham and Dorking. Technology is entirely off-the-shelf: Pitchero powers the website, member registration, fixture scheduling and communications (integrated with the RFU Game Management System for player registration), while SumUp handles payments and bookings. Governance rests with Joint Chairs Stewart Davies and Dave Scott, supported by a Welfare & Child Protection Officer and a large volunteer coaching and management cadre across all age sections.
