County Show day a great success

15/8/2019

We had a successful day at the County Show, not only by selling copies of the 50th Anniversary Book, but through other key fund raising activities and selling Club raffle tickets – all of which gave Club funds a good boost, and many of the Go Go Olive figures sporting ORFC colours sold well too.

Later on in the day the Club was REALLY busy after the Parish Cup final and that too gave Club funds a further boost.

Family Club Day - 31st August 2019

12/8/2019

No need for the end of summer blues now that County Show is over... with something for everyone, our big club day is one for the whole family and your friends!

With plenty to entertain the little ones, as well as the grandparents, please come along and help us watch, play and celebrate Orkney Rugby!
