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

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

County Show Stall - 10th August 2019

It’s that time of year again, as Orkney RFC begin the ever-increasingly difficult task in balancing the books against the monstrous travel costs of operating all sections of the Club including the First XV , Ladies and Junior rugby.

First on the Agenda , as always, is the County Show stall. What can you do to help , we hear you ask??? Well…….

Bottles – Huge amount of varied bottles, cans and other items are required for the stall and any donations would be very gratefully received. Where bottles of liquor are great and much needed, homebakes; multi-packs of baked beans; kiddies drinks etc. are equally required.
Bottles can be left with with Garry at The Pitstop garage at Hatston; Olga at R Clouston Ltd, 10 Grainshore Drive, Hatston or at the Club whilst training is on. (Monday from 6 to 7:30pm and Wednesday & Friday from 6:30 to 8pm) - bottles can be left in the front changing room as usual.

Stall volunteers – Can you spare a few hours on Show day to work on the stall, all welcome players/ former players/ social members/ players parents etc etc etc, ‘ Many hands make fur light work , ya ken’. If you can at all help please contact Scott Rendall, Paige Archibald or Brian Lanni and let them know (contact details here). Please, please, please , pretty please……………
