The special open days, called ‘Join the Beat’, were organised by the WRU to welcome prospective players, volunteers, coaches, match officials, first aiders and administrators to the game.
Clubs including Dolgellau, Tonna, Pwllheli and Ystradgynlais kicked off the successful recruitment drive this morning which canvasses the enthusiasm of the Welsh public after the huge interest in Wales’ Rugby World Cup campaign.
And there’s still chance for fans wanting to ‘Join the Beat’ to get involved, as 54 clubs across the country prepare to open their doors tomorrow.
Among the participating rugby clubs are Pembroke Dock Harlequins, Brecon, Newcastle Emlyn, Neath Athletic and Llantwit Fardre. A full list of clubs is available at the official WRU website link: www.wru.co.uk/jointhebeat
WRU Club Development Officer,Nicola Smith, is looking forward to yet another busy day at the rugby clubs tomorrow.
“’Join the Beat’ has really captured the imagination of Wales’ rugby community and I am thrilled that so many clubs and budding volunteers have demonstrated such great support this weekend,” said Nicola.
“The overwhelming support is a huge boost for Welsh rugby, which thrives on the enthusiasm and passion of the thousands of individuals that each play their own special role in our community clubs every week.”
