TRFC Clubhouse Renovations Crowdfunding Video
*** https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/transforming-trfc-clubhouse***
Over the past 12 years, Topsham RFC has grown into a thriving hub for rugby and community life. But our current clubhouse, built over a decade ago, can no longer keep up with the needs of our expanding teams and loyal supporters. Now, we’re ready to take the next step — and we’re inviting you to be part of it. With your support, we’ll create a larger, more welcoming clubhouse that truly reflects the energy, ambition, and heart of our club and the wider community we serve.
Please check out our crowdfunding page to find out how you can help support us as well as to hear why this is such an important project to us and what the improvements will look like. This is a project that if successful should benefit club members and community alike. It will also us to continue offering rugby to so many but also ensure our facilities are optimised for all whether on matchdays or for private hire use.
The proposed changes in summary include:
Construct a new tractor and equipment shed that will be situated on the edge of the upper car park in line with the bottom of the top pitch. This will store all our grounds maintenance equipment as well rugby playing equipment.
This will free up the current tractor and equipment storage area that is located at the town end of the clubhouse. The freed-up space created by the new tractor shed will allow us to open up this area, create a new larger bar, which will be accessible from two sides, a new members area with access to an outdoor area, a bigger main clubroom incorporating the old bar and members area that can be separated by bi-folding doors. On match days, this will allow players to have an area they can sit down and eat with their playing opponents, and it will create greater flexibility for the club to be used by others on non-match days, creating greater income generation opportunities. The old cellar room will become a dedicated kit shop and storage area.
The third part of this project is to create an outside sitting area incorporating a child-focussed play area. This will be situated at the town end of the clubhouse and will create a safe and friendly area where families can gather and enjoy themselves.
We have also set ourselves a ‘stretch’ target of creating a more energy efficient clubhouse by investing in new solar panels. Although this is not included in the £80,000 we plan to raise now, this will be our priority for the next stage of our vision.
