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.
