Membership

Although our club has historical links to Colfes school, we are an open club and everyone in our community is welcome to join us as a player, volunteer or supporter.

To join OCRFC you will first need to register with the RFU and then be linked to our club. This is done using the RFU’s Game Management System (GMS) and instructions on how to do this can be found when selecting your category from the table below.  Once registered you can then proceed to purchasing club membership

We have two types of memberships available:

Non-Player Memberships

Non-Player Memberships are for anything other than playing, such as becoming a Social Member or entering our 200 club lottery.

Volunteers are also classed as Non-Players. However, whilst no actual Membership is required, volunteers MUST still officially register with the club via GMS.

(Of course, joining as a social member and/or entering the 200 club is always greatly appreciated especially when there are good discounts up for grabs if bought at the same time as a child’s player membership!)

Gift Aid – How you can help our Club?

Old Colfeians RFC is a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). This gives us tax benefits similar to those for charities, including Gift Aid.

For every £1 donation you give us, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC.

If you are a higher rate taxpayer higher rate taxpayer, you can also benefit from tax relief!  You simply claim the difference between the higher rate of tax and the basic rate of tax at 20 per cent, on the total value of the donation on your annual self assessment tax return.
