The day was a huge success thanks to the support of Tesco’s staff and the efforts of the players who were widely praised for the help they gave to the public. £381 were raised for club funds.
The bag packing is part of a summer long campaign to raise the profile of the clubs youth and ladies sections and to encourage wider sport participation. Organizer Georgina Carpenter estimated that over 300 leaflets were given out to interested customers, which is a tremendous boost to the clubs summer recruitment campaign. There is a massive buzz at Beccles Rugby club, with many new faces on the committee, a new head coach in place for the senior section, new players coming into the club, the U15 and U18 girls sections playing league rugby for the first time, and a re-launch of the clubs mini‘s section for 6 to 12 year old boys and girls.
