Northwich RUFC, formerly known as Mid-Cheshire College RUFC (MCC), was established in 1964 as a casual team playing on an ad-hoc basis, the book traces its journey from a semi organised bunch of friends to the highly organised club outfit of today playing in National League.

We commenced the 50th anniversary season with the acquisition of the old Moss Farm bar, refurbished during the summer by club members and reopening as Northwich Sports Bar the clubhouse of Northwich Rugby Union Football Club.

The committee of Northwich RUFC, commissioned an independent strategic review, with the objective of identifying issues within the club and assessing how to address those issues and move the club forward. Completion of the review, is intended before the end of the 22/23 season in April 2023, it will initially be presented to the executive committee of Northwich RUFC, as the five year strategic plan for the club and will then provide the framework for future success. A summary of the findings and actions proposed to be advised and discussed at the AGM.

VISION: (What should success look like for the club in five years?)

New changing facilities.
New or significantly renovated and extended clubhouse, either owned by club or held on a long lease.
Thriving M & J section, with teams regularly playing at all age groups from U6 upwards.
Minimum of three senior teams and occasional veterans’ fixtures.
Majority (60% at least) of 1st XV and other senior sides to have come through M & J section.
Minimum of 100 non-playing fully paid-up club members.
All senior and M & J players registered and promptly paying the requisite amount in subscription.
Large volunteer base, leading to numerous active sub committees operating under a dynamic main executive committee.
Financially robust, with a proactive and aggressive fundraising policy in place, working within means and having a significant contingency fund for emergencies or special events.
Playing at level five in the RFU league structure, assuming that the fundraising policy has been successful and finances allow, but certainly no lower than level six.
