Norton Waits for the Return of Rugby

Midsomer Norton Rugby Club remain unclear as to when we'll see competitive rugby return to Norton Down. Currently, the Community Game sits at point B on the Rugby Football Unions "Return to Rugby Road Map", which allows for small group training. 

The RFU, having submitted their Return to Community Rugby Action Plan to the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, hope to announce a move to Stage C "soon", which would allow larger group training and some close contact, yet a return to match play still remains some way off. 

However, the Club has not stood still and volunteers have been working to create a new pitch at Norton Down, as well as replacing some of the old boilers in the changing rooms. When the Government give the green light for rugby to return, Norton will certainly be ready on and off the pitch. In the meantime, the clubhouse remains open on a Saturday, for members, between 2pm and 8pm.
