Something bigger is taking shape at the Club…
As part of the continued development of Tarleton Rugby Club, we’re excited to start sharing the next piece of our vision — and it’s one that goes well beyond rugby.
But before we look forward, we need to look back.
For several decades, Ray Bramford has practised from the Club through SPS Clinics, becoming a huge part of our Club environment along the way.
Ray has been instrumental in shaping our physio facility and has provided first-class treatment and support to our Senior Squad for many seasons.
Ray has now quite rightly decided it’s time to hang up the treatment table and enjoy a well-earned retirement.
From everyone at TRUFC, a massive thank you, Ray — and we wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement. You’ve left some big boots to fill!
Now, we look to the future…
We’re fortunate to have George Ball already leading the next phase.
George is a dynamic physio with a strong Strength & Conditioning background and has quickly made a big impact with our Senior Squad over the last few seasons.
He has also been instrumental in getting our own gym facility off the ground.
OK… it might not quite be David Lloyd or Nuffield just yet! 😂
But we’ve made a start.
There’s already a treadmill, static bike and squat rack, with a Concept2 rower coming soon. And this is only the beginning.
The facility will increasingly support prehab, rehab, strength and conditioning, alongside the existing physio and treatment equipment.
And now it’s coming to our members…
We’ll soon be launching a physio service for Club members, with specific benefits attached to membership.
Because we want the Club to be about more than what happens between the white lines.
We want to help our members perform better, recover better and live healthier lives.
But we’re thinking much bigger than physio…
You’ll soon start seeing adverts as we look to attract physios, sports therapists, sports health professionals and other health & wellness practitioners to establish themselves at the Club.
Why?
Because we’re starting to build something.
Our ambition is to develop Tarleton Rugby Club into a genuine Community Sports Health & Wellness Centre — bringing together sport, fitness, rehabilitation, health and wellbeing under one roof.
And what you’re seeing now is just the first step.
There are some much bigger plans taking shape behind the scenes, and we’ll be bringing those to our members very soon.
Want to help us build it?
As with everything we’re doing at the Club, we want our members, local businesses and wider community to be part of the journey.
If you, your business, or someone you know would like to sponsor and support the development of the Tarleton Health & Wellness Centre, we’d love to hear from you.
Every bit of support helps us take another step towards creating something that can have a real and lasting benefit for our Club and our community.
For now, we’re excited to start building the team, creating new opportunities for health and wellness professionals and, most importantly, creating something that benefits our members and our wider community.
This isn’t just a new physio service.
It’s the start of another chapter in what we’re building at Tarleton Rugby Club.
Keep watching Club Zap.
There’s plenty more to come. 👀
