Orkney RFC at The Blue Door 7-11 April 2026

21/1/2026

We’re delighted to let everyone know that Orkney Rugby Club will be running The Blue Door charity shop for 5 days from Monday 7th April

If you’re having a clear-out or have any unwanted Christmas presents, we’d be hugely grateful if you could keep them aside for the club.

We’ll be getting a collection container in the next few weeks and will let you all know where it’ll be once everything is sorted – but for now, if you can hold on to items, that would be amazing.

Thanks so much for all the support – every donation really helps the club
