Exciting times
With over 600 members, Horsham Rugby Club attracts some of the best talent in the area. It’s a very exciting time for Horsham Rugby Club with the completion of new changing rooms and the new Artificial Grass Pitch planned for Spring 2018. With further improvements planned for the Clubhouse, Horsham is set to be the envy of the league.
The artificial grass pitch will be the only one in the region, commissioned by the RFU as part of its commitment to invest £47m over four years into the development of 100 AGPs across England. The new pitches will provide communities with year-round rugby which will enable additional training sessions and more flexibility in playing times due to the floodlights.
