Supporting the program
For fifty years Norwich rugby has asked the same of its own. Leave the pitch better than you found it. Scrum Alum is that promise kept. We put both sides on the road for 15s and 7s, keep them in the clubhouse alumni built beside the Dog River, and send Cadets to nationals the way this club has done season after season. We set the table at Homecoming. We come home in the spring for Munn Weekend. We put names on scholarships so a first year can stay in the program. If this place made you, help make it for them.
