Core Values

 

We would like to remind all of our supporters of the values of rugby – Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, Sportsmanship.  We would like to celebrate the whole of the Game, to show what is good about it and to promote why we believe it is the ultimate team sport.  What takes place on the touchline and in the stands on our Finals Days is as important as what is happening on the pitch.  Please help us to adhere to rugby’s expectations to maintain the reputation and image of our sport and likewise, of OUR club.  We have been reminded that stewards will be challenging any behaviour that conflicts with the values of rugby.

 

Many thanks in advance for your support – remember to pack your Barum Spirit
