A New Era at YOSC: Investment, 6 Weeks of Hard Work, and a Home to Be Proud Of

At Yate Rugby, we’ve always believed that a strong club needs a strong home. And thanks to the incredible support of our community, partners, and sponsors, we’ve just taken a massive step forward.

Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve worked side by side with the brilliant team at Yate Outdoor Sports Complex (YOSC) to complete a full clubhouse rebuild — and the transformation has been nothing short of inspiring.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the collective effort of so many. With the backing of the South West ALP & Mentoring, Yate Town Council, RFU Impact 25 and our valued local sponsors, we secured £20,000 in funding and with our volunteers we were able to turn that vision into reality.

From digital menus and screens, to refreshed spaces that feel modern and welcoming, to a bar and clubhouse designed for everyone — this is now a true hub for our community. A space where all athletes and teams meets friendship, family, and future opportunities.

What makes us proud is not just the end result, but the way it came together:

✅ Six weeks of non-stop collaboration with YOSC.

✅ A shared determination to build something lasting.

✅ The support of partners who believe in the role grassroots sport plays in shaping lives.

For our Rugby club this refurbishment is about more than bricks, paint, and technology. It’s about creating a home where our men’s, ladies, academy, and non-contact teams can thrive. A place where the local community feels welcome, connected, and celebrated. All clubs at YOSC will benifit from this, it brings positivity pride and progression to all clubs at YOSC.

To everyone who contributed, thank you. You’ve helped us build more than a clubhouse. You’ve helped us build a legacy.

💛💚💙 One club. One community. One future.
