Clubhouse Development 2 of 3

2. Changing Room Project


On the 14th September 2014 Horsham RUFC Kicked off its new Changing Room Project a ambitious and forward thinking undertaking to provide Modem Era facilities to the current and future membership of Horsham RUFC.


This is a big drive to in a move toward making Horsham RUFC the best it can be!

The current Changing Rooms:

  • Are 42 years old
  • Costly to maintain
  • Too cramped
  • Do not comply with RFU standards
  • Do not meet with modern standards and expectations
  • Have no Female facilities
  • No disabled facilities
  • Do not have segregation for officials
  • Toilets shared with main club house

Overall the current changing rooms do not represent the expectation of the modern era, and do not represent the aspirations of the membership of this club!

The New Changing Rooms:

  • Built in 2015/16 providing facilities for the next 30-40 years
  • Be more cost effective to maintain
  • Be more spacious
  • Will comply with RFU standards
  • Will meet with modern standards
  • Will have Female facilities
  • Will have disabled facilities
  • Will have segregation for officials
  • Will allow for segregation of facilities from the main club house

Overall the new changing rooms will meet the expectation
of the current era and beyond providing a lasting legacy for the club to benefit from for years to come!
