The new season is only a few weeks away and pre-season has begun for many teams. So it's time to start thinking about renewing your children's club membership. Please go to our website to buy, here: https://www.eastleighpiratesrfc.com/payments

This season, it's £90 for the first child and £50 for any siblings. As usual, you can choose to spread the cost over three months by direct debit, or pay all at once by card online.

This year, we've also added the option to make a £10 donation to the club with your membership. It's entirely optional, and we appreciate that cash is tight for many of us. We keep our membership prices as low as possible, well below the level of neighbouring clubs, as we never want money to be a barrier to anyone taking up rugby. The memberships are our main source of income and pay for all our kit, coaches' training, pitch fees, etc. If we can raise a bit more on top this year, we can reinvest it back into the club to improve it for all the children. All our staff are volunteers, providing rugby training to over 300 children every week of the season. Every penny gets spent to give the kids the best possible experience. Please chip in if you can.

Here's to another great season!
