Bishopton seek volunteers to help out at RugbyForce Day
Bishopton Rugby Club have issued a call to arms as they seek a helping hand for their upcoming RugbyForce Day.
The Holm Park side will be taking part in the 10th annual Royal Bank of Scotland RugbyForce Day on Sunday, August 12.
Bishopton, alongside Paisley RFC, will receive their prizes ahead of RugbyForce weekend on August 11 and 12, when rugby clubs across the country will host a number of pre-season events, from DIY days to Community Fun Days, raising awareness of the participating clubs within their local areas.
Both clubs were recognised as Star Clubs and will each receive a £1,000 cash prize, branded merchandise and a visit from a current Scottish international player on RugbyForce weekend.
A Bishopton RFC spokesman said: “With the start of the season upon us and pre-season training in full swing, it is now time to look towards ensuring the facilities that we have at the club are up to scratch and we expect that standard throug out the course of the season for all sections of the club.
“In doing this we will be taking part in the 10th annual Royal Bank of Scotland RugbyForce Day, where the SRU encourage clubs across Scotland to get all the odd jobs and of course the much bigger jobs completed.
“This year Bishopton have been lucky enough to receive both of these incentives to help us on the day.
“But along with the great benefits form the SRU, we are still in need of as many hands that we can get down as possible and also a few other things that will help us achieve some of the larger project goals that we have planned for the day.
“If anyone that has any materials that they are no longer likely to use and are able to donate them to the club to help with several of these projects then that they would be greatly appreciated.
“Anything from electrical fittings to paint and wood and everything in between that may be lying around in the back of your garage that you think could be of use to us.
“Also if there are any trades people that would like to get involved and donate some of their time on the day then that would also be greatly appreciated.”
