    Harrogate RUFC welcomed back familiar faces and reopened its club house doors.

    It was the "first time the club house opened since lockdown" and players and supporters enjoyed a BBQ and a long-awaited pint. Food was enjoyed outside and a one-way system was adopted through the clubhouse.

    As well as this, the rugby club launched its "Ride to Rudding" scheme, which was originally due to have started before lockdown. The initiative encourages people to cycle to the club rather than drive.

    Mike Cowling, commercial chairman for Harrogate RUFC told The Stray Ferret:

    "We were always planning to launch the scheme officially, but lockdown delayed that. This is the start of something going forward, we had about a dozen people ride to the event at the weekend which is great."


    The club was given a small transport grant from Harrogate Borough Council which allowed it to install a bike shelter to further encourage players and supporters to cycle to the club.

    In order to encourage more people to cycle, the club held a free prize draw for all those who arrived on bikes across the weekend. The winner was Woody Auld who plays for the U10's.
